There was a time, back in the (pre-Covid) day, when I'd put on red lipstick regularly. But then lock-down locked that lipstick up! Until now. My polished pout is starting to venture out again, in its ready-to-go resplendent glory. But this time around, it's more moody maroon than flashy red--a reflection of the times, perhaps?! My inspiration: the shades seen in these recent snaps. Meet , my new go-to lip color!
