Would any vintage girls have the guts to do this?

By that, I mean the silent movie lips......I know I wouldnt have the guts, and my fiancee would look at me as if I were an alien.  But I tell you what, I have tried it in my room a bunch of times ever since I was little and it looks so hlarious!!! You just put foundation all over your lips (especially the corners and sides) and then use a dark pencil to fill in the lip line, really exaggerated at the top.  Its hilarious....

Do you mean for your wedding? I would do it for a costume party or for something silly, but I think that's it :-)

You mean the exaggerated bow shape?

Yeah, I'd have the guts to.... because I have to! My lips are actually shaped like that! (I face-planted on the sidewalk when I was a kid and ended up with fake front teeth and a bit of scar tissue smack in the middle of my upper lip that pulls the center down just enough so I have that bow shape in a big way.) Luckily you can't tell it's actually scar tissue, most people just think I have a neat-shaped mouth and my dad must have been the milk man LOL

It's not super noticeable b/c I never wear dark lipstick, and my lower lip is much bigger. I like it! If I had the chance to go back and not fall on my face, I don't think I'd take it! (I got nice straight teeth sans braces when they gave me new ones too hahahahaha)

Retro wedding calls for retro lips.  Why not????  Go for it!

Here's a vintage inspired wedding from ruffled where the girl did the silent movie makeup/lips.  She's working the bow lips!
