A Digression

Over the years, I've noticed a number of different approaches to applying lipstick among my family members.

My grandmother Ruth had an unusual style. 'X' marked the spot in the middle of her mouth, then she mashed her lips together to distribute the lipstick.

My mother followed a Brutalist style, smashing the lipstick flat on her mouth as she forced it on.

I took a gentler approach as a Pointillist, something which drove my mother nuts on the rare occasions she saw me apply lipstick. She was convinced I was wasting the stuff this way.

What about you? Friends and family with unusual make-up application styles?
