Although it may be okay for a man to sport facial hair, it is so not acceptable for a woman. If you are a woman suffering from excess lip hair and don't know what to do about it (besides a good wax job), there are ways you can cover it up in a pinch.
1.
Bleach your lip hair. Stray black strands of hair on your upper lip can look a bit more inconspicuous with a good bleaching. Bleach cream specifically designed for use on the face penetrates hair and makes sure that the hair comes out looking lighter and as translucent as possible. Facial bleach creams can also create a finer texture to stray strands.
2.
Use theatrical makeup to conceal lip hair. Number 11 grease paint smoothed over the upper lip is ideal. Afterward, apply your typical foundation and powder to successfully conceal your lip hair.
3.
Wax when in doubt. If other methods of covering up your lip hair have failed you, you can temporarily remove it using a hair removal method such as depilatories or wax. Depilatory creams use chemicals to dissolve hair and last a matter of days, but wax removes the hair from the root and can last several weeks.
