Moustache shadow .. with photo :-(

[Glitterzzz]

I know this might not sound a big problem to a lot of people but I have a constant female moustache shadows on my upper lips. I don’t even have a problem with hair it’s juts this constant blue/ grey tinge that has got worse and worse over the last couple of years.

I don’t smoke I’m not on birth control and don’t have any hormone issues I’m aware of. I’ve tried home remedies, chemical peels and led light treatments, vitimans and every expensive covering foundation on the market from £6 to £45 and nothing hides it.

I’m so so self conscious of it now. I’m not making eye contact with people even walking to my car all I can think is of the shadow. I see people staring at the area also.. when I cover it I use peach/ red liostick then concealer and then foundation and it still is there ...

I’m getting desperate. My partner hasn’t said a word but I seem him looking at it almost in shock .. I didn’t have this a couple years ago when we met. I’m so sick of hiding my face with my hands, not having confidence to even look people I know in the face.. and worst all I cannot even cover it and go about my day... please help! Does anyone have this problem ? Could my Gp help!

I really can't see anything! Genuinely cannot see any shadow.

I can see absolutely nothing. I think because you’re worried about it you’re thinking there’s something there that isn’t. You have lovely skin, btw.

Honestly, it looks perfectly normal to me! Maybe i"m missing something...

I honestly cant see anything either.

It’s there .... :-(

Can't see anything tbh

It’s lovelu your saying that but it’s obvious . This is me with no make up

Can't see a thing

I can’t see a thing.

Can you bleach it?

If that's a moustache shadow then I'm in trouble - mine is much worse. I wax it and then don't think about it again. Couldn't give two shits. I can't see yours at all op.

I can't see anything.

I don’t think people are saying it to be lovely.

You literally cannot see a thing.

It’s there .... :-(

It's really not.

I couldn't see anything at all. But think I see it now

I genuinely can't see anything there at all.

Can't see it OP, it may well be that you can see something close up, but there is nothing that can be seen by anyone else and that's with no make up.

It is completely normal. I have that. My mum has that. It's not anything obvious in any way, shape or form - it's just how skin works.

I think the more worrying thing is that you've got so upset to the extent you don't want to look at people over something that is perfectly normal!

And this is MumsNet - people aren't being nice because they don't want to offend you. People are being honest because there's absolutely nothing going

I can’t see anything either. At the risk of sounding like a weirdo, you have lovely shaped lips People pay for a mouth like that. There’s genuinely nothing there (in the photos at least)

I think I can see what you are referring to but it is literally a shadow, made by the turn of your lips. I think everyone has it. I certainly do anyway and I never thought it was anything unusual.

Try this op (not that you need to)

eu.ecotan.com.au/product/face-tanner-water/

It will give your face some light colour overall and even out skin tone.

Nothing to see at all. Oh @Lichtie I can see it on your edited photo! Is that ultraviolet?

I can see it, but to be honest I had to really really look at it. Unless someone is sat on your face I doubt others will be staring at it. I think if your this self conscious though maybe book yourself in with a make up artist who may be able to suggest techniques and make-up that would help you feel at ease.

OP, in the kindest possible way, I think this is in your head. I genuinely can't see what you're talking about AT ALL. There really isn't anything there. You look entirely normal.

Agree totally with other posters, I can't see anything!

I can't see anything either and I'm looking at your picture on a 4k 42" tv. Your skin looks lovely and shadow free.
