Lipstick

That was interesting, but the real revelation came with kissing someone wearing the same lipstick as me. I had a slight taste in my mouth - so slight that I was scarcely aware of it. Then, our lips met, and the taste suddenly intensified... Hearts Afire! This is something of which I have never grown tired.
Enjoying, as I do, both the taste of and the marks left by lipstick, it seems almost unaccountable that I have taken to wearing lipstick with the minimum taste, and which resists leaving marks. I refer, of course, to the 'stay-put' varieties, available from several manufacturers.
I've tried several brands of these. One of them, I bought purely on the grounds of it being recommended by Cosmopolitan. I suppose I figured that if Cosmo didn't know which lipsticks were which, who did? In fact, it didn't prove my favourite and I only bought it in one shade (unlike the ones I prefer, where a single shade is certainly not enough for me!).
So, what is the attraction of the stay-put lipsticks? I think that it has something to do with their seeming new, glamorous, in the fashion. There is a novelty in the colour not readily coming off. But, above all, I think that I like the shape of these lipsticks. They are longer and thinner than a conventional lipstick, almost like a tube of mascara. They seem to me to have a lot of style.
Touching up my lips in a pub or club, I feel pride in producing my elegant-looking lipstick. It seems a piece of class. This is important because not only is lipstick the kind of make-up I most often touch up in public, but doing so gives me a lot of pleasure.
There is a kind of paradox in touching up my lipstick. Colouring my lips is essentially an out-going activity, primarily it changes my appearance to others. Yet, gazing into my handbag mirror, applying the colour to my lips, is an entirely self-absorbed activity. The contrast between the outgoing and inward-looking aspects of doing this seems to me deliciously feminine...
