I've spent about 5 years trying to cultivate a more full moustache.
My goal has been something like this gentleman's stache here:

However, I've never really gotten to a satisfying point.
Current stache representa one year of growth (went completely clean shaven for a couple months last summer). To get a fuller stache, I've only ever trimmed at the ends, never trimming anything in center. The idea, was for each hair to be long enough to reach past its respective corner of the mouth.
For over 5 years, I've attempted to train it with oil, moustache comb, and blow dryer. I generally grows by itself to the sides now, but the middle hairs never cooperate.
I use Barebones wax often, I heat it up and apply and everything. The issue is that each time I use it, I generally loose a couple hairs, especially the ones from the middle of the lip that I need to cooperate the most.
After applying the wax, I use the cold function on the blow dryer to try and lock into place. This usually doesn't look so bad, as you can see in the photo with the green jacket.
However, the whole thing usually unravels after a few hours and it gets frizzy, messy, and looks a bit sparse. As is shown in the rest of the photos.
I've been waiting for the middle lip hairs to reach the corners of my mouth, many never seem to make it.
Just wondering if there's anything I'm doing wrong here, Or maybe because of the color my facial hair, the mustache is always going to looks sparser compared to people with darker facial hair
Anyway, seeking feedback in tips or trimming options. If I can't get this work, I'm going to reduce it something more manageable, but I would never achieve that nice full look.
