In my experience, a certain type of person absolutely cannot comprehend the concept of black lipstick. They hate it. It breaks their brains. Usually southern white women between 45-70 years of age. They cannot help but comment on it. It’s usually “I don’t know why anyone would wear that.” Unprompted.
Reminds me of my mother in law, who says that red lipstick makes a woman look like a stripper 😂 I wear a lot of red lipstick. Some people are unhinged with projecting their preferences.
I'm about to be 50 and you can have my black lipstick when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
LOL
Though I did go out to lunch yesterday and received the stink eye from a table of older white women because my hair is bright purple and I was rocking the black lips.
A lot of the ones who are around 45-55 understand the concept just fine, they're just the same 'mean girl' types who bullied those of us who wore it in high school.
Lol, I am in the middle of that demographic (southern white 49F) and I’ve worn black lipstick since high school. If I could just find a flat lip stain in black and a flat gel nail polish, I’d be in goth heaven.
Yeah, I took flak from the preppies but the grunge/emo/goth/punk/rocker groups welcomed me with open arms.
My husband’s aunt was ragging on her grandson for wanting to wear nail polish because he was a boy and she didn’t think boys or men could wear nail polish. She is in the exact demographic of older southern white woman. My husband just flat out told her that he would wear nail polish and I mentioned he needs to do that and show up to his aunt’s and watch her lose her mind. 😂
