Everybody wants a perfect pout - and there's barely been a more luscious lip in history than Pamela Anderson's. Her effortless glam is something most beauty lovers can only dream of - but dream no more, as one make-up obsessive has shared the industry secrets she learned from make-up artist to Pam, the late Alexis Vogel.

No matter your lip shape or size, there are ways to achieve the 'epitome of glamour' look Pamela Anderson seems to effortlessly achieve. Natalie McMillan, who posts under username @natalie.mcm on TikTok, shared the tips Alexis had imparted to her.

She captioned the three-minute-long video: "It's a master class in over lining that I feel very lucky to have learned from the legend herself before she passed away a few years ago."

Natalie said that the OG Pamela Anderson lip is 'still one of her favourite looks', and she shared with her followers how to achieve it as Alexis had taught her how to do it 'about a decade ago'.

She said: "She always started with a lip stain. She would put it on the bottom and then go like this..."

Natalie then proceeded to rub her lips together to spread the stain on the top lip, naturally overlining it as the bottom lip tends to protrude further than the top.

She then said: "I'm just going to go a little bit more over to get the shape I want." To achieve this, she used the Nars 'Le Freak' lip pigment.

"Then she would go over that line with Stone, by Mac", she explained. This is a lipliner product. Over the video she also wrote the other shades she recommended, which are Oak and Spice.

At this point in the video, her lips are already looking much plumper, and she explained the technique requires you to 'feather it in downwards, into the stain', highlighting the importance of the blend, rather than a harsh line.

Then, in a trick that will surprise many people who grew up in the 'foundation lips' era, Natalie said that the next step was to take a blender with a bit of foundation on it, and pat it over the lips. After that, the same needs to be done with face powder to set it.

She then said Mac Lipglass in 'Nymphette' was key to finishing the look, with a pigmented shimmer eyeshadow in the middle of the lip too.

Natalie finished the video by showing the final look, saying: "And that is the ICONIC Pam lip."

In the comments, people begged for a full Pam tutorial, wanting to know how to achieve the smokey eye as well as the lip look.

"Please do the whole look", someone begged.

Someone else praised Alexis, commenting: "Alexis Vogel is like the OG a beauty influencer but instead of YouTube I remember my mum would buy her VHS makeup tutorials."

Another praised a certain product, writing: "Nymphette is my favourite lipgloss EVER. It's gorgeous. Makes so much sense she used it."

"Sharing is caring. I love this. Thanks babe", a beauty fan praised.
