I am a thin waisted and thin lipped woman. I like being thin waisted but it makes me queasy and sad that I have tiny little lips. My mom thinks my lips are elegant because Marlene Dietrich also had no upper lip but when you google âthin lipped actressâ Marleneâs just about the only respectable example who pops up. I donât want plastic surgery because I am an ACTOR and I donât believe the point of acting is to look beautiful all the time. Â Actors need to convey all sorts of feelings - of joy and desperation and mania - on their faces! Actors are not models! Â I could go on about this but Iâll sound stupid, Â especially when I turn 50 and wind up with a face lift. Anyway, since in my day-to-day life I really do like looking âbeautifulâ I use lipliner to give myself an upper lip and change the shape of my mouth completely. Sometimes people donât recognize me when I donât have lipliner on, which makes me feel like a real chameleon. The only hard part about painting your face is that it means lots of trips to the bathroom when you first begin dating someone (reapplying between smooches). It is certainly a lot of upkeep. Right now I use Sephora brand lipliner as a base (itâs also only 6 dollars!) in âlight brown.â Then I trace around the edges with a darker shade, Rimmelâs Lasting Finish in âcappuccino.â They discontinued my favorite Kevyn Aucoin one so now when Iâm feeling fancy Iâll use Kjaer Weisâs lip pencil in ârich.â I like nudes and browns. Never peach. Never. Peach.
