1. At 57, lipstick stopped making me feel pretty

I never stopped loving color. I stopped loving what lipstick did to me. Every shade looked too strong on my face, it dried my lips by lunchtime, and it crept into every little line around my mouth.

Most mornings I put it on, looked in the mirror and wiped it straight back off. One day, I just stopped trying.

2. Then I found a lipstick with no shade to choose

The bullet was completely clear, with tiny gold flakes inside. Honestly, I thought it was a joke. Then I swiped it on.

It reacted with my own lips and slowly turned into a soft rosy pink that looked like it had always been mine. Not loud. Not fake. Just my lips, alive again.

3. For the first time in years, lipstick felt comfortable

Dry lips are the reason I gave up. Every lipstick felt fine for an hour, then left my lips tight and flaky.

Coellyo felt like a balm with color. At the end of the day my lips were still soft, and the color was still where I put it, not in my lines.

4. One small compliment gave me back a part of myself

My husband noticed first. Over breakfast he said, “You look really lovely today.” He didn't say a word about lipstick. He just noticed me.

A few days later, my daughter asked what I was wearing because it looked so natural. That's when I knew I wanted to wear lipstick again. Not to look younger. To look like me.
