Was talking to my 60 year old female friend. She said she didn't feel right today because she didn't have any lipstick on.
Please enlighten me on why not having lipstick on may be problematic. I am not attached to lipstick.

Just like a little girl that likes to hold onto her teddy bear all the time, it makes her comfortable and more confident at strange place, because she's used to it every single day and it feels personal.
Or just like someone wears a certain hat all the time, it feels like a lucky charm or makes them feel comfortable, it could be a superstition, or just a warm and personal feeling people enjoy to have.
Your friend probably always had lipstick on except today, it was more like a routine thing and not putting it on surely makes her uncomfortable and felt not right. Another example would be drinking coffee everyday, and many people can't go on with their days without coffee in the morning.

Certain things have a way of making women feel 100% everyday. For me, it's earrings, If I don't put them on before I leave the house I will go out & buy a cheap pair just to get me through the day. So you're friend may feel like something is missing because of a habit of always having it on. & some women wear make-up to help them feel better about themselves. Hope that helps...

Many women don't feel complete or beautiful and are self conscious if they don't wear makeup- especially if they usually wear it when they go out. Lots of women just put it on as soon as they wake up, even if they're not going out, because it makes them feel fresh and ready for the day.
