Zarvan, why do you cut moustache all the way to skin?
There was one companion of Prophet who heard Prophet say "keep mustache short" & he cut it too short, that skin of upper-lip became visible. But he over-did that. That's how jews cut their moustache. Do you want to follow sunnah of jews???

Also Abraham Lincoln had shaved-moustache beard:

When Prophet said "keep moustache short" he meant just trim it so it does NOT hang below lip-line. Doesn't mean you have to shave it altogether:
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Said ibn al-Musayyub said, "Ibrahim, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was the first to give hospitality to the guest and the first person to be circumcised and the first person to trim the moustache and the first person to see grey hair. He said, 'O Lord! What is this?' Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, said, 'It is dignity, Ibrahim.' He said, 'Lord, increase me in dignity!' "
Yahya said that he had heard Malik say, "One trims from the moustache until the edge of the lip appears, that is the rim. One does not cut if off completely so that one mutilates oneself."
