Bleached Lips

When I was younger I was fascinated by make-up especially since my mom didn't wear any. My friend and I used to sneak her mother's lipstick. We got caught a few too many times and since we were really to young to be wearing it she told us a line about how lipstick bleached your lips out leaving them colorless, thus requiring more lipstick to keep up the illusion. The line was believable since the woman had pale lifeless lips (I had seen them). I swore off lipstick until high school as a result!
