Red lipstick, always it is a dilemma should I wear it..will it be too brave or too loud!! Will it suit me... for my teacher mom, it is always too loud... always too out of control.. even most happening weddings of my childhood she wore decent colours which were almost non existent on her lips. As I grow up always seen her early morning soft wet curls turn into buns ..glossing light lipstick in her finger tips to make a base for her sindur teep( Bindi) so that stays through the day, and the killing perfume called Elsa... the quintessential taant little higher than her heel and the teachers bag and ofcourse the light shade of lipstick, running hurriedly to catch her bus after doing all her duties as the most dutiful eldest daughter in law of the family.
