pencil moustache
Narrow upper-lip strip
A pencil moustache is a thin, narrow strip of facial hair grown just above the upper lip, typically trimmed to appear as a fine line.
The style requires careful maintenance to keep the hair uniform and close to the lip line.
It was fashionable in the 1930s and 1940s, associated with Hollywood actors like Clark Gable and Errol Flynn, and has since become a somewhat dated or deliberately retro look.
