lipstick on actresses (1983, tv show, TV, drawing)

[PAhippo]

Not sure if this is the right place for this but seems more appropriate than the beauty forum.

I've noticed that on a lot of actresses, the lipstick doesn't cover their lips. A sort of 'these are my lips-this is what I want my lips to be'.

I think it looks rather stupid but apparently I'm missing something. Is this for a reason?

I have no idea what you mean. Can you post a picture to show an example?

I don't know how-I can post my own photos but totally clueless how to do it from a tv show.

See if you can Google them. If you see what fits the description of your OP then right click on the image and then click "copy".

One should be enough--just to get an idea of what you mean.

IMO, almost anything's better than the Kathie Lee Gifford sticky-lip look.

A lot of women, in general, do this

Women who have thin upper lips or lips that don't have the right shape tend to do this a lot. Redraw the lip line to something more pleasing and then fill in with lipstick. Usually looks great in pictures or from a distance but can be disconcerting up close and personal.
My lips are uneven, so on the rare occasion I wear lipstick I will try to even them out a bit by drawing a slightly higher curve on one side, outside my natural lip line.

Slightly OT, speaking of lipstick, how do the actresses keep theirs on during kissing or eating scenes. I look closely after such scenes (especially kissing), and the lipstick stays - no smears, nothing.
