To Lipstick or Not to Lipstick

Even Women who don't wear makeup wear lipstick.
It is the one cosmetic women can not live without- and can't seam to get enough of. Just ask the 92% of women who wear it regularly and buy an average of  four tubes a year. It has the highest usage of any cosmetic product; according to a report in Glamour Magazine. The Average women consumes four to nine pounds of it in a life time. Nothing can keep a girl from her lipstick!

The Image of a woman gazing into a mirror or a compact or her reflection in a window,applying color to her lips, is one that transcends time and culture.

Part of lipsticks allure is it's availability-it's an inexpensive luxury that anyone can indulge in, a quick glam fix rivaled in "I Gotta-have-it-ness" like the little black dress (but has the advantage because it's cheaper).
Even during the depression, when food and other daily necessities were scarce, women still found money for the single cosmetic that would boost their morale. "the small cosmetic represented adventure, glamour and high living at a low price"

I love the traditional lip liner and lipstick look, it's also longer lasting!
But for a more modern look, just stain the lips with with a nude or pinkish color lip liner and put a shear gloss over it for day or a gloss with a shimmer or sparkle in it for evening.
My favorite nude lip liner's are by Bobbi Brown, and loving the  YSL lipstick's and glosses.
