The Lipstick Question

The most stylish women in the world own three lipsticks. Not thirty. Not three hundred. Three — and they know exactly when to wear each one.

A signature lipstick is not a shade. It is a decision.

It is the decision that this is the color you will wear when you want to feel most like yourself. It is the color your friends will identify without seeing your face.

Finding it takes time. Most of us try twenty before we know. That is fine.

But once you know — buy three tubes. Keep one at home, one in your bag, one in a drawer you rarely open, for the day you finish the other two.

The freedom of never wondering what to wear is worth every dollar.
