Then my fairy godmother waved her wand (er, needle) about eight times over 20 minutes, and I was magically transformed into a girl with an upper lip. Carroll prepped me with a gooey white numbing cream (which made the pricks manageable) followed by an ice pack, and mapped out the injection points with a lip-liner-type pencil.
Materials: Saline lip treatment, Compass Dermatology, Toronto, $100 (if you go for the real thing afterward, this cost is deducted from your total) Then, with a laugh: “For someone like you, I’d never go full-on Angelina, because it would just look silly.” When I go to see her for a little pow of my own-still a tad leery-she gives me some rhyming reassurance: “Your injectable should not be detectable.” Julia Carroll recently started offering the treatment to civilians at her Toronto clinic it’s already popular among her hush-hush celeb clients, who use it for what she calls “a little bit of extra pow on the red carpet.”
Similar to traditional $600-plus hyaluronic-acid fillers, saline injections provide 24- to 48-hour amping (medical-grade salt water absorbs into the bloodstream rather quickly), so you can preview what you’d look like with a fuller set, minus the commitment.ĭermatologist Dr. But recently, I heard about “Cinderella lips”-all the rage in London right now. Google “celebrity lip-filler fails” (or go to L.A.) if you don’t know what I mean. There’s only one way to turn pitiful puckers pillowy, and it involves a trip to the beauty doctor. So far, the fear factor has kept me away I’ve seen a lot of overinflated botch jobs. None of the capsaicin-infused glosses in my makeup graveyard can deliver Lana Del Rey lusciousness, nor can contouring with eight different types of liner or even sucking on a shot glass for the #KylieJennerChallenge (I had a ring around my mouth for three days).
At least, not for a girl like me who can hide her entire mouth behind a No. Listen up, my thin-lipped sisters, ’cause I’m about to drop some heavy, hard-learned wisdom about non-invasive pout plumping: it doesn’t exist.
