Lips and Eyebrows




Hmmmm. I can't imagine using something like this. Oh, alright, alright...I admit it, I would mess around with it and I'd have fun too. Who knows, maybe I'd end up with some really killer looking lips. Killer looking 50's lips no less. I can't see this working for everyone though. What if you have really skinny weird lips to begin with? You'd end up with a huge bright red ring of lipstick around your mouth...something like this:

I guess it's no different than the eyebrow stencils that a lot of women use now days. Hell, I use them sometimes. It did take me awhile to get the hang of it though. I looked very much like Frida Kahlo at first, not that natural eyebrows are wrong, but now I can achieve quite a righteous look! Anyhow...I wonder how many other wild and wonderful vintage beauty supplies I can find?
