Coral lipsticks are your 1) grandma’s best friend 2)your best friend’s worst enemy and 3) my lip color du jour.
Before we begin, I hope you appreciate my print screen collage (picture 6).
Shudder all you want, but Im currently cookoo for coral lipsticks. It’s the kind of thing that would be buried in your nana’s handbag along with used kleenex and mini lotions she took from her hotel because ‘I paid for the room and everything contained in it’. Grandmothers are cool. They’ve lived long enough to say whatever they want and not care. It also helps that the general population tend to be very kind and forgiving towards them. Though there are still those pricks who don’t have the decency to offer their seat on the subway, but that’s another subject for another blog post.
Coral lipsticks are fun because you don’t really know if it’s orange or red. It’s like a confused little make-up that’s neither here nor there but always manages to make a grand entrance and steal the show.
The verdict: coral lipsticks are chic…nursing home chic.
Wear it while: listening to Braid the Raven Hair from The Mikado by Gilbert and Sullivan
Braid the raven hair —
Weave the supple tress —
Deck the maiden fair
In her loveliness —
Paint the pretty face —
Dye the coral lip —
Emphasize the grace
Of her ladyship!
Art and nature, thus allied,
Go to make a pretty bride.
