Embarassing mustache?

This is really hard for me to write because it bothers me so much. It is so embarassing. But when I was the age of 10 I started to shave above my lip. The reason why is because I use to get made fun of a lot.... because im a girl and I had a mustache.





Im sure having the judgement of a 10 year old mind wasnt sure a great idea to shave it. But now im 22.... and i still shave above my lip.... and no matter how i shave you can see a gray shadow about my lip. Everytime i look in the mirror im disgcusted with myself. I sometimes wonder if people can notice.





So.. i still shave it.. and on top of that i put foundation over it....I have tried so many foundation but that doesnt seem to cover up the grey shadow i have. I have even tried bleaching it... but my hair is so dark and thick from shaving all the years... it does not help.





I am i the only girl who does this? And what should i do? Please help.

Reply:You might try going to a professional salon and having it waxed.
Reply:Trust me your not the only girl that has this problem.! Yes it is embarrassing. There are many solutions. Many people would suggest waxing. but all that really does it make it grow in darker and thicker. The same goes with shaving. One idea is to try facial hair bleaches such as some of these from http://www.sallyhansen.com/category.cfm?... You can find these at your local drug store or walmart. They are very cheap and last for 6+ weeks. Since you say that they don%26#039;t work, you must be doing some thing wrong. Follow the directions step by step and you might have to do it a cople of times till it is your disored color. You%26#039;ll never know you have a mustache. Another solution is laser hair removal. The cons of laser hair removal are that it is not the most pleasent thing your face will feel, and can be quit costly. But you%26#039;ll never have to shave it agian cause in a couple treatments it will permentaly be gone. Also never never pluck it it will only grow in thicker. The best solutitons for your case seems like bleaching it or getting it laser removed. But please please don%26#039;t let it hurt your self-esteem.
Reply:i do not see how bleaching doesn%26#039;t work, i have dark hairs and it works.


try more bleaching kits, and keep going with this.


before bleaching it however i would suggest waxing it, to get less hair, and less darker.


than try the bleaching..


the bleaching also bleaches a bit of your skin, making it lighter.


good luucccckk!
Reply:You need to start waxing it. use sallyhansen wax and just do it, as you wax it more the hairs will start to grow back less often and the gray shadow will disappear. In between waxes bleach stray hairs. Also stop putting foundation on it, make up clings to any hairs and makes them more visible. Your not the only one with a mustache I have one too and sometime when I forget to wax it I shave it because it bothers be so much. don%26#039;t worry about it and I hope this helps!
Reply:Don%26#039;t shave it WAX it. It hurts but waxing is closer than shaving and after waxing you%26#039;ll have to pluck out the %26quot;stray%26quot; hairs that waxing missed. OR you can save up and get it lasered off.
Reply:i think that you should look into electrolysis for the hair


i have a mustache but i dont mess with it ( the hairs are faint)
Reply:bleach it.
Reply:I agree with Megan,even though waxing hurts a bit at first but repetitive waxing would thin the hair, just remember to keep your lip tight. Or electrolysis it hurts a little but well worth it. This procedure kills the roots of the hair follicles; you might have to go a couple of times before all the roots were destroyed but a hair free lip is nice too.
Reply:tht%26#039;s a good question.





i think u should just wax every 15 days,so your growth would get lesser day by day.





and its not good applying make up everytime.it makes our skin bad.





if u still go on applying make up than u have to choose the colours/shades which suites your skin.





and the best option which won%26#039;t hurt u or you would have any problem:





JUST DO LASER TREATMENT.





it won%26#039;t cost u much.
Reply:You should wax it or do threading! And if you have the money get laser done....it does wonders!!!!
Reply:hav it waxed..yu%26#039;ll find it will remove the dark shadow for about 2 weeks!
