On Sunday me and my best friends went to Pasadena and immersed ourselves in female bonding. Which roughly translates to brunch (w/ Mimosas) followed by leisurely walking up and down Colorado Blvd. window shopping and shopping-shopping. It was good times!
Tipsy shopping is perhaps the best version of shopping out there. Makes elbowing that chick who keeps eyeing the shirt you are holding bearable. 
Well we wandered into Sephora and quickly broke formation and went to different parts of the store. I headed towards the make-up brushes, where I was greeted by this lovely Indian girl who was sporting a serious female mustache. (Mind you the gal had great eyelashes and it was evident that if she didn’t tweeze she would probably have a unibrow as well..) To be clear I mean she didn’t just have the occasional 2 or 3 random long whiskers around the corners of her mouth, she had full stache attack! My Asian brothers would have been envious of her robust growth is my point.
Which inspired this post, HOW TO GET RID OF YOUR FEMALE MUSTACHE?
Do you suffer from great big, chain smoking, trailer park mustache?
Solution 1: SHAVE /WAX
Personally I get mine waxed, it’s become a beauty combo meal. I get my bi-weekly mani-pedicure and I throw in a lip wax for good measure. Now keep in mind I am Asian so my growth is not really furry mammoth status, more like faint peach fuzz. If I were the lass from Sephora I mentioned above I would go once a week!
I was always told NOT to shave! The conspiracy theory is it will grow back thicker and hairier! I don’t know from experience if this is the case but I know some people who do, and their upper lip looks fine to me. Plus it may be cheaper. You could always have it threaded too. The cool thing about threading is that the hair definitely grows in finer since it is being pulled from the root. (If anyone knows from first hand experience that shaving is bad, please do share)
Do you have a crazy Hitler mustache with additional chin p^bes?!
Solution 2: Laser Removal / Electrolysis
For you ladies that God neglected during the creation process (I kid) if you have heavy to severe growth you might want to crack your piggy banks and research Laser Removal or Electrolysis. In all honesty I would consider doing this for my bikini area, I am just afraid the skin down there would be too sensitive. Also, I knew this one girl who did electrolysis on her face and she got a slight discoloration on her upper lip. I think her skin was sensitive to the light or whatever. I think I’ll stick to my waxes for now…
Do you have Purple Rain peach fuzz?
Solution 3: Tweeze / Bleaching
I nearly forgot to mention that you could always tweeze if you have a handful of long cat whiskers. I would only recommend this if you have a couple of stray hairs that grow abnormally long and don’t require full wax and such. They say that tweezing loosens the skin due to the tugging, and may eventually cause premature saggy skin. Hmm, I don’t think this is too much of a concern around the lips, but is something to consider around the eyes.
If you have very moderate, fine, peach fuzz hair growth you could always bleach it! The logic here is to lighten the hair thus making it less of an eye sore. Personally I think this is sortuv counter productive. The way I see it is if you have to bleach it, you can see it and turning it platinum doesn’t make it invisible!
If you are spending the time and money to bleach it, why not wax it and get rid of it?
Lastly:
Do you have a Yosemite Sam quality mustache like this lass?
Solution 4: JOIN THE CIRCUS
…and I am done.
