Victoria's Secret Whisper, for that Angie Dickinson Feeling

Dickinson_921123_150 Whisper Just when I was thinking that I had every lipstick shade, in every texture known to womankind, I get this shade called Whisper from Victoria's Secret's Perfect Lipstick line. Here in the Valley of the Ultrablode where I have been dwelling of late, this pale, pearly, frosty peachy nude is about as good as it gets. I find the extreme haircolor warrants either shocking red (eg, MAC Ruby Woo) or ghostly shades like this one. It's not an easy shade--I couldn't have worn this with my previous haircolor, and Jackie, with her pale skin and dark hair, handed over her sample over to me without even trying it. With a tan, for example, I can only imagine that this color would make one look like Betty Ford hitting bottom. But with the pale face and hair I'm working now, it nails that swinging 60s Angie Dickinson look.

I would wear this every day

It looks like it's right up my alley. I am blonde on pale!

  • What do you get when you throw a true beauty obsessive in Europe together with a veteran beauty journalist in LA? Not much room on the bathroom shelves, that's for sure. Make-up, hair products, skincare, perfume, salons, spas, luxury hotels with toiletries and treatments that make us never want to go home - if we've left anything out, you can pry our mirrors from our cold, dead, perfectly manicured hands.
