They say the eyes are a window into the soul. They say you can tell a gentleman by the way he treats women. They say you are what you eat. And they say you can tell the nature of a woman by the shape of her lipstick.
A Mary Kay sales manager did a "study" on women and their lipsticks, and she assembled her theory of how the two are connected. Here is what she determined:
1. Your lipstick remains to be of its initial shape.
I find it slightly disturbing that someone would put together such a list and give it credence. But even more disturbing is that I actually looked at my lipstick to see if it matches my nature. I don't wear lipstick that often, and what I wear is a very subtle shade, so subtle, in fact, that I can put it on without a mirror and not look like Bette Davis in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane. It is so subtle, in fact, that I can put it on the car, which I do often. That might explain why my lipstick is acute but smooth and a bit off kilter. It looks like I have been applying it to a stroke victim whose mouth droops to one side. It looks like I am a kid playing with my mother's cosmetics when she isn't looking, and I have no idea what to do with the stuff.
It looks like I might fit into the category of No. 4, but I am not sure what I am susceptible to. Besides bronchial infections, maybe it's a car accident caused by my applying makeup while driving.

Remind me not to let you drive me anywhere.
Do you look in the rearview mirror and have a cell phone in the other hand while applying your lipstick Robyn?
Dive, I hate when the cap comes off while the thing is in my purse, don't you? All those old mints and loose change.
Lipstick, i actually had to think how to classify what i have done to my lipstick. They don't have a catagory for "child used lipstick to draw pretty pictures on the door" shaping, apart from that I'm a 3. definate 45 degree angles here.
For some stupid reason I suffered sixteen years of mental and physical abuse from a woman who suffered permanent PMT.
It's been over for more than a dozen years but I still flinch at sudden movements … Brrrr.
