hmmm. None of this applies to me, as I never wear lipstick nor any other kind of makeup for that matter. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteFun site & idea. I remember my mother as always wearing deep red
ReplyDeletelipstick and dark pencil brows (her makeup regime started & stopped
with the 1940s it seems).
Me, when I'm not ill, I 'have my slap on' as they say colloquially in the
UK, graduating from very pale teen gloss back in the day to the use
of lip liner (gawd, I used to have lips... where did they go?) and a few
colors mixed on with a lip brush with a dot of shine bottom lip. I ease
into the day with coffee and make-up routine, the likes of which my
own daughter totally eshews except for every now and again when I
will hear a "Oh god, I want a true deep Dior red." Drama queen!
I read somewhere you're supposed to throw out a lipstick after a
few months due to germ contamination. Ha! My tubes of color
mostly came free from 'special offers' and are so - um -'matured',
their cases are ringed like trees.
I think I want a job making up names for lipsticks. Seriously. In my
case right now I have: Dubonnet, Think Bronze, All Heart, Pinkberry
Stain, Bamboo Pink, A Different Grape & Guava Stain. I'd go more
literary. Off the top of my head, Hemingway's Hint , Kingsolver's
Kolor, Artful Austin. Sure you could come up with more!
