![This Just In: I'm Officially a Grown Up Who Wears Lipstick](http://images.totalbeauty.com/uploads/editorial/my_beauty_life/mbl-lipstick_-l_01.jpg)
The prospect of having to choose a lipstick color that will flatter my skin tone makes me itch. And the prospect of going to a department store beauty counter for advice is not going to happen. The last time I did that I walked away more confused -- and broke. So, instead of using any methodology when it comes to choosing a shade, I just choose my lip products willy nilly and end up…

Until recently, I was lucky to have been genetically blessed with pretty great cheekbones. But yet another fun thing about getting along in years is that with every passing month, those formerly angular planes of my face appear less and less defined. Fun, fun. Since there's no way I'm going to go the implant route -- and becoming a filler slave is too rich for my blood -- I'm relegated to…
