Lip Clip


Way back in 1924, an early adapter of facial fashion named Hazel developed the latest in technology for reshaping the lips. The upper lip to be specific. As Hazel tells it, the Lip Clip is…"a simple and easily applied device to re-shape the upper lip of a person to conform to what is known as the "Cupid's Bow", whereby it is unnecessary to resort to a surgical operation to produce this effect."

We're guessing that Cupid's Bow is that small indentation just under your nose. And, that in 1924, having a deep lip groove was considered groovy, much like the balloon lipped collagen craze of the 90s. Hazel never tells us how long you had to wear her spring loaded lip clamp to achieve Cupid's Bow bliss, but we're thinking any length of time is much too much.
