My mom gave me an Estee Lauder lipstick last night. It's most probably the first time I will have such a possession. After all, I have never really liked lipsticks. Only lip balms. Why? Well, during my four prom nights in high school, I despised every minute when the beautician would dab some in my lips. Of course I couldn't complain and say I didn't want any of it.
What I would do when no one else was looking was this: I would wipe away the traces of lipstick with my handkerchief. But unfortunately, it never came off. I wondered what kind of lipstick it was to endure such pressure from a cloth. I never liked the color that the beautician chose. Ever. Reddish-brown or brownish-red, I didn't find it alluring. It didn't seem to fit my age. Perhaps an older woman, but not a teenaged-girl.
The lipstick my mom gave me is almost natural, with a tinge of tan and pink. At least, when I tried to put it on, it wasn't much conspicuous and it didn't turn me into an old lady. It only heightened the color of my lips, which I liked. It's called Radiance, which I don't think explains its color at all, but perhaps the effect it has.
But there's this shade of lipstick that I have always wanted. I wondered whether it would look well on my skin tone. Pinkish and almost a pale lavender, it was vibrant and young. But not "vibrant" in the sense that it was too bright. In fact, it was more on the pastel side.
I can't really be certain which shade, I could easily know what it was if I saw someone who actually has it one. But it's something like these:
