can we at least bring lipstick back?
It seems no one under 50 wears lipstick these days, which is unfortunate. Because wearing lipstick is something that I spent years of my life looking forward to. Then I went off to college, where regular and vigorous grooming was the highest standard of beauty, and came back- BAM!
The tyranny of lipgloss had begun.
Everywhere, lipgloss. On everyone, lipgloss. I really don't understand why looking slightly drooly is considered the standard for lower-face cosmetics.Lip Vinyl. Lip Shine. Lip Sheer. In fact, if I wear lipgloss, I start to drool a little. Lip gloss comes off immediately if you eat, drink, kiss, move, bite your lip, or think about nihilism. It's inexplicable.
The message of lipstick: Look! Lips! Hotsexy!
The message of lip gloss: Help! I don't know how to eat red jello, so I just mashed my lips into it. Hotsexy?

The same reason they bleep out a certain epithet that starts with the letter "n" (unless it's a roundtable discussion with Cornell West) - sensitivity to cultural taboos, whether they make sense or not.
You know, this comment is on the wrong post. I suck like that.
Anyway, lipstick? I'm not feeling it, but then again, I'd never wear it myself. I think there's been a shift away from lipstick because too many unappealing women have been wearing it, and wearing it until they're old enough to be grandmothers, thereby nullifying the hotness effect.
I love lipstick. That being said I've been too lazy and frumpy feeling to wear it lately. Maybe if I'm feeling frumpy I should put some on...
