    Weirdly, this very same phenomenon is why we have the health care "system" we have today (act 2):

    Isn't it more accurate to say makeup sales are rising because women can no longer afford to buy anything more expensive than a $20 lipstick? #makeup

    I'm curious how the Telegraph was able to jump from rising making sales to "women aim[ing] to look their best in [the] recession," I mean, that's quite a leap. What's next, "Sky Begins to Fall as Acorn Hits Local Chicken's Head"?

    What I find totally bizarre about this is that this morning I got an urge to buy lipstick for the first time in about, oh, I think 12 years. I have no idea why.

    But now I know, it's the recession. It makes me want colorful lips. Women are so crazy! #makeup

    @Experiment626: You have to be careful to make sure he's actually rich, and didn't lose everything when the stock market crashed.

    And, of course, you use your makeup to trap a rich man so you can afford better makeup and trap an even richer man, amirite? #makeup

    I envision "Lipstick Entrepreneur" as another line on Orly Taitz's business card. You know, along with Dentist, Lawyer, and Real Estate Agent. #lipstickentrepreneur

    I went to one of those cheesy Pure Romance sex toy parties awhile back, and the saleswoman told me that she was about to quit her "real" job and do Pure Romance full time. I'm guessing that qualifies as Lipstick Entrepreneurship, too—although Lubricant Entrepreneurship would be a more appropriate moniker…

    @Kivrin: Honestly, it's a market that isn't experiencing the kind of crunch some others are, or at least that seems to be the case. The sex shop I work in is pretty consistently making significantly more money than in previous years, and many people say that in lieu of spending money on vacations or whatnot, they send the kids to their grandparents'/friends'/etc house for the weekend. That said, I would so never buy anything from one of those parties. Marked up like woah, and the people selling it (by and large) don't know fuck all about what they're doing. #lipstickentrepreneur

    @femmina: Yeah, I bought some lube and a cute little hummingbird-shaped vibe (my first). Now that I'm no longer a sex toy virgin, I'll go to a shop (and support local businesses!) for future purchases. ;) #lipstickentrepreneur

    I'm trying to imagine what complexion would look good with that orange lipstick in the middle of the photo. It would look ghastly on my pale self, but I can't imagine it looking good on my darker skinned friends, either. #lipstickentrepreneur

    @Kivrin: I have chocolate brown skin and I have a bright tangerine lipstick that looks fantastic on me. It's a little bit sheer.

    I saw Rose McGowan once with bright vermilion lipstick and it was stunning. It was actually what spurred me to check out some orange/corals, even though I thought it might be just for pale people like her. #lipstickentrepreneur

    I went to college with Darby, the actress pictured. My husband and I were in the theatre dept. with her, he had a crush on her (before I knew him). I tease him about it, but don't blame him at all. Let me say - her skin can totally live up to anything HD can throw at her.
