I don't often buy lipstick because I don't use much of it, but when I do I always buy one that's too bright red. I think the problem is that I shop for make-up with my eyes and not my brain. I find make-up counters very frenetic and overwhelming so my brain usually wants to get in and get out as soon as possible. I also love the colour red in almost all its shades. This is probably my major downfall: I see a crimson, maroon or burgundy that I love and I buy it. My eyes appreciate the colour, but my brain goes to sleep and doesn't remind me that I can't wear red lipstick. Then I get home and put it on and see that it's too bright and artificial-looking for my complexion. I think the reason this happens over and over is that I buy it so infrequently that I've forgotten the lessons of last time by the next time I go.
Does anyone else buy things that are wrong for them on a regular basis?
