I'm 61 and all my life since I started wearing make up I've never been completely happy with any lipstick shade.
I have red hair( now faded to almost white) and a freckly yellow-based skin tone. Lipsticks are always too pink, too brown, too red, never the perfect mix of browny orange neutral that I've always wanted. I've tried cheap and expensive, some have been good and I've worn them until they inevitably were
discontinued.
Until now.
I was walking through John Lewis beauty hall on my way out of the shop when my eye was caught by the Tom Ford display, looked at the lipsticks randomly and bam! I knew it as soon as I picked up the tube. The assistant tried it on me and it was perfect. Yes it's ridiculously expensive, far more than any lipstick has a right to be, but I don't care, I'll never wear anything else. I'm justifying it to myself because I don't buy many clothes and don't have manicures or any other beauty treatments.
I know it's so trivial but it's made me very happy, shame it's taken so long!
Anyone else had a similar experience?
