sometimes all you need is lipliner

Let me set the scene

I was conducting my fortnightly comparison doomscroll and I concluded that my mouth was freakishly narrow for my face.

(For context I am a black girl and most popular black girls on tiktok, instagram etc have full wide lips)

Per routine I had 8 tabs, 4 medspa clinics and 5 saved Tiktok videos looking for a solution to this face ruining issue. The research was completed, the credit card was drawn, but a voice perhaps an angel, maybe it was God, or maybe it was my own common sense told me to check this subreddit for advice on NMS (Narrow mouth syndrome).

"I think they're quite neotenous tbh" SOLD. That was quite literally the only convincing I needed, my personal aesthetic goals is to look like a doll so this only added to my power. But still a voice in the back of my head said " Yeah it's cute....on everyone but you tho"

Defeated. My credit card made its way back into my arms.

No not yet. On a whim in the middle of the night I pull out my brown lip liner and a pinky red gloss and got to work and boy did it work. I looked adorable. With just two pieces of makeup I saved myself £££.

In conclusion before making (semi) permanent change to your face play around with makeup, the answer might just be a brown lip liner away.
