Lipstick

Red lipstick, Lip gloss, Putting on lipstick

A swipe of lipstick changes a face in seconds, which is why it shows up in dreams about confidence and the impression you make. A soft, natural shade suggests a wish to look put-together without drawing attention. Lipstick smudged across a cheek can mean a feeling, or a secret, has slipped out where it wasn't meant to. A lipstick mark left on a cup may say someone has made more of an impression on you than you expected. Trying on shade after shade at a counter is a playful sign you're experimenting with new sides of yourself.
