Dolores Haze Lolita Lipstick
V
MAC Russian Red
ladimir Nabokov’s Lolita is controversial but has attained a classic status. It is the story of a love affair between middle aged Humbert and his 12 year old stepdaughter Dolores who he secretly refers to as Lolita. Dolores or Lolita is adolescent, seductive, flirtatious and mercurial, and she competes for Humbert’s affections. But she gets bored of cultured Humbert whose increasing demands drive her further away— eventually running off with Clare Quilty who wants her to participate in child pornography. If you’ve seen the movie you would remember Dolores with piggy tails and always sucking a lollipop or ice cream. Yes, all very suggestive and seductive but what we’re interested in is the lipstick she would probably steal from her mother’s boudoir and wear for Humbert. Something bright to draw attention to herself and something matte for the summer time and all that snacking she gets up to. MAC’s intense bluish-red matte lipstick in Russian Red is the perfect choice for Lolita. Kat Von D’s lipstick in ‘Underage Red’ would be ideal too!

hh Lady Macbeth, one of our favourite characters to hate in Heroine Shakespeare’s work. A brief recap: she is the wife of Macbeth (the play’s antagonist) a Scottish nobleman who is goaded into Macbeth killing the existing King. Who does Lipstick Kat Von D Everlasting the goading? Why Lady Macbeth Liquid Lipstick in ‘Witches’ of course! She becomes Queen of Scotland but feels way more guilt than any reader would expect a villain like her to. We think Lady Macbeth might appreciate the irony of Kat Von D’s Everlasting Liquid Lipstick, an intense black being called ‘Witches’. The Three Witches greet Macbeth with a prophecy that he shall be king and they represent evil, chaos and darkness. Lady Macbeth and the ‘Witches’ liquid lipstick are a perfect match!

T
he one female heroine that stands out as impetuous, petulant and vain in literary fiction for us, is Scarlett O’ Hara from Margaret Mitchell’s Gone with the Wind. Scarlett Heroine embodies Southern charm and what the kids nowadays Gone with the Wind would call ‘extra’. Lipstick She’s spoiled by her Christian Louboutin Silky Satin Lip Colour wealthy parents but in ‘Very Prive’ the Civil War sweeps away the lifestyle that Scarlett is accustomed to, leaving her destitute. Despite falling on hard times, we think Scarlett would still enjoy a luxurious lipstick such as the Christian Louboutin Silky Satin Lip Colour in ‘Very Prive’. It’s a rich plum, red colour that feels sensuous and luxe. It is encased in a solid metal body that resembles a precious vial and its turretlike crown cap is topped with a small ring threaded with a silk ribbon turning the lipstick into a necklace. Can’t you just see Scarlett wear this around her neck, stroking it and reminiscing about her past life? We sure can.
