Not to get too upset with you, but whenever I buy a new lipstick—preferably, perfection in a tube that becomes a safe sign of my failure—I feel like like a clumsy Grand Duke in Cinderella circa 1950, desperately flying around town to find a lipstick that would fit best, breaking a sweat while trying to convince himself that the wrong lipstick would be really good (it wouldn’t), and finally give up and get exhausted. Sound familiar?
It’s hard to find your signature lipstick with the letter H. After all, there’s so much to consider! There’s shade and tone, of course, but then there’s also the finish, wear, price tag, and composition to consider. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack or, if I’m on topic here, Cinderella slips her foot into a glass slipper with an unusual temper – an adventure at least. But after years (and years) of trying hundreds of lipsticks, I’ve finally found the perfect fit, and if the rave reviews of my fellow beauty editors are any indication. Whichever number, I think you do too.
