When I was a young girl, not so long ago ;), the only colors that lipsticks came in were pinks, oranges, reds, and browns. As a baby goth, all I wanted was to color my lips in the myriad of other colors like purple, blue, green, and the ultimate forbidden color, BLACK. Colored lipstick was not allowed in my high school but that didn’t stop us from constantly pushing those rules. Petroleum jelly + food dye + Kool-Aid made a stained, goopy, concoction with poor payoff, but I loved it. I loved combining the colors like the Evil Queen working in her lab on the perfect potion.
