"When I am in a relationship, I donâ€™t wear lipstick at all. I hate the smearing, the retouching, the constant throb of phoniness as you surreptitiously check the damage in your compact between kisses. I wear lots of mascara to compensate, different colors so I donâ€™t get bored. When I am about to break up with a guy, he has full warning because I start wearing lipstick again."
