My SIL still does that 1990 lip thing. She uses a rather purplish lip liner outside the edges of her lips and then a white-ish-purple god knows what ghastly color on her lips and it looks just terrible!

I am not a huge fan of having molasses on my lips but I agree with you 1000% that visually removing wrinkles, rather than adding them, creates the impression of larger lips. Just artistically speaking, when you’re trying to make something bigger, cluttering it up with additional lines/color has the opposite effect to…

This just screams look at my lip wrinkles! Not a good look in my opinion because lip wrinkles equal you’re older?

My last two years working for MAC (2009 & 2010), they tried really hard in our sales artistry training to make this A Thing. Working in the Midwest, our customers nearly laughed us out of the store when we suggested they buy more than one lip liner per lip look (which was MAC’s suggested technique at the time) or…

what the heck though? those are some DAMN FINE LIPS. I have tiny doll lips. I want these lips. why you no happy with your lips?

I read an article earlier today that French women think all this contouring stuff is bullshit.

I’ve seen skilled MUAs use different colored lipsticks to create beautiful ombre looks on their lips, but I just can’t tell any difference with this lip “contouring.” I know you can make a difference on the outside of your lips with liners and highlighters, but doing so directly on your lips? I just don’t see the…

Will any woman over the age of 18, who doesn’t have an ambitious non-fashion/beauty career or a complicated life, seriously going to spend time doing this shit?

All this because some rich girl lied about getting collagen injections...

Apparently they are supposed to make your mouth look more anus-like.

Truth. I actually fell in love with my boyfriend when I woke up with my period at his place and had bled all over the sheets. I didnt have tampons with me at the time. He calmly told me to go ahead and take a shower, asked me what brand I used, and put the sheets in the washer while he went to the drugstore.

I love this whole story, but also:

You know what body type should wear these? Whatever body type wants to. As a Fat I want a pair, these are cute, I am into the high waist. It would look great with a few of my crop tops.

Have you actually tried them? My big butt and remaining baby belly pooch LOVE this type of jean. I was previously VERY MUCH AGAINST

I still can’t see drop-crotch pants as anything other than, basically, poopypants.

Yes? Skinny jeans are nice for people who can’t not be bringing disco back with normal leg cuts. High waists are nice when you have an ass that can’t be contained by mortal means. People in the intersection of these shapes exist. :(

Depends on body type. You don’t need to be slender for them to look good, but you do need to have a defined waist, and to be built in such a way that you don’t have much of a belly, proportionately. They’re great on women with “apple bottoms.”

Josephine Baker looks very modern (i think this still is from Zouzou) except for those 1930s brows. Early in her career, she was more more brow-y.

This. I rarely fully line the bottom, as one tiny slip and my naturally large eyes can look squinty. Outer third FTW
