But overdrawn lips didn’t start with Kylie. They didn’t even start this century. Overdrawn lips truly began one fateful day back in the 1930s, with a girl named Lucille Le Sueur — who you and I know as Joan Crawford. In short, she’s gorgeous — but looks nothing like the Joan Crawford we think about today. Joan apparently HATED that name, but the studios liked it, so that’s who she became. Now she just needed a new look to go along with it — and for that, she needed the KING of makeup. He was also something of a starmarker; Max gave Jean Harlow her platinum hair, Clara Bow a chic bob, and Lucille Ball her signature false lashes and red curls. And when he met the newly-named Joan Crawford, he knew there was one thing he needed to do. Take that, Lip Kits. Here’s hoping this means “The Smear” comes back — I want a long, spread-out upper lip!
