We all have one thing about our body we wish we could change. For many of us, that one thing is our lips… our very, very, (very) thin lips. And the hangup started not because of the pouty supermodels in magazines, but a slumber party of yore — you know, back in the day when sleeping over at your BFF’s house meant makeoverrrs! Only, when she told you to pucker up and you did, she continued to stand there, lip gloss wand in hand, as if you hadn’t puckered at all. Womp, womp.
Or you know, I could just be projecting.
Here are 15 more things you’ll only understand if you too have a lackluster pout (in other words, it doesn’t exist):
1. To do your makeup, you first have to spend 20 minutes finding your lips.
