I’m not really one for minimal settings, but something about this room moves me. It’s in its resemblance to some important spaces earlier in my life with sloped ceilings and furniture low to the ground; specifically, my grandmother’s room on the upper floor of her undormered Cape Cod house in Queens, my bedroom on the second floor of the first house we lived in, and the attic bedroom I had in the French House in college. I feel safe, secure, and happy in rooms like this.

I am about to give up on red and dark lipstick, because no matter what I do, no matter which products I use, the stuff has started feathering on my like a mofo. For any of you younguns reading this, I’m talking about the phenomenon of the color bleeding into the teeny fine lines around the lips. This only recently started happening to me, and it’s depressing, partly because it means I have fine lines for the lipstick to seep into, but also because I’ve recently found so many great burgundies and reds that work on me, like OCC Lip Tar in Strutter, MAC Dubonnet, and UD Gash. And it’s not limited to lipsticks — I’ve noticed this happening even with my more pigmented glosses. I’ve tried lipliner, I’ve tried lip primer, and nothing works.
If there are any Fine Lined ladies out there who have tips to share, I hope you will!

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’ Lip Tar is one of my favorite products. A liquid lipstick in a tube, a tiny amount is applied with a brush and this highly pigmented formula creates a very long-wearing, velvety finish without drying or caking. It’s very blendable (the color range includes primaries and black and white for creating custom colors).
I just love that the very of-the-moment pinky-coral is called “Grandma” and conjures, at least for me, images of South Beach Art Deco (before it became chic) and vibrant old ladies in flowery bathing caps and bright lips in the Florida sun.

This immediately sent me back to hanging out in the kitchens of various friends of my mother’s in the 70s. Desperately need to find needlepoint kits so I can make my own. Though that mushroom one on the bottom left looks awfully genital.Food related needlepoint designs, 1974
