Is lipstick an economic indicator, or will gloss rule the day? Well, it's the NY Times, not known for its economic perspicacity, but:
Banking on an economic downturn, Cristina Bartolucci, the creative director of DuWop Cosmetics, introduced Prime Venom, her first matte plumper designed to be worn under lipstick. “One of the main reasons we came up with this product is that we’re in a recession, or a difficult time with the war,” she said. “You always think of the classic lipstick and stockings doing well in wartime.”Quite a weapon of mass destruction.
NY Magazine's The Cut says buy lipstick, not dresses. What would Betty Grable have to say about that? A swimsuit.
Blackfive has an idea.
