i love lipstick. i want to write an essay about the politics of lipstick. i like lipstick that’s deep, deep red. i like lipstick that’s purple, lipstick that’s black and dark for when i want to dress up my melancholy. i like sharing lipstick with sisters. and i laugh at boys that think i wear lipstick for them to notice, i laugh, lipstick is an art you can’t ever understand. from picking out a color, testing it on the inside of my wrist, pursing my lips during the application of it. i like when i kiss a baby and leave lipstick on their cheek, when you hug someone and leave lipstick on their shirt, when it gets on your teeth and you use your tongue to get it off, when you sleep in lipstick and wake up with it on your pillow case. in 1997 mama left for ethiopia to see her mama for the first time in 12 years. i was six and i cried the entire way home from the airport. and when we came home there on the kitchen table was the teacup mama had been drinking out of. at the bottom a sip of tea and black cardamom seeds. and there on the rim of the cup the lipstick imprint of my mama’s kiss.
part of me wants to wear leather jackets and red lipstick and be super sexy and break boys’ hearts but then I also want to wear sundresses and be sweet and cute and shy and giggly but a different part of me wants to be beautiful and smart and mysterious and another part of me just wants to sit in bed and watch netflix while I eat pizza
Makeup
I barely wear makeup. I haven’t wore it in 2 months maybe more. I used to wear a lot when I was 14. I would gel my hair down (to get rid of the frizz) wear white eyeshadow that had glitter in it,mascara,lip gloss. Then in high school I had the fake nails in freshman and sophomore years. Then junior year it was just a lot of black eyeliner. Then senior year it was purple,blue or black eyeliner. Now after a year of college I barely wear it. I wear it for special occasions like birthdays or parties.
In the spirit of Halloween, I have made a super antioxidant juice with a perfect combination of sweet, sour and hot. And a a beautiful glowing red colour…a Vampire is sure to love!
