Concerned about my hair and making sure my necklace fell properly, I forgot to check for lipstick on my teeth.
And wouldn’t you know it, my plum lip shimmer shimmered itself right across the front of my pearly whites perfectly in time for the photo.
Granted a little lipstick out of place on occasion isn’t unusual, but what confused me was the fact that at least five people had been chatting with me prior to my turn to pose and smile.
I’m guessing the photographer focused on overall composition and lighting and overlooked a few tiny details.
I know to always double check in a mirror prior to an official photo shoot. Why I didn’t this time, I’m not sure.
But still it was my friends who let me smile all big and bright without even the slightest indication something was amiss.
They most likely never thought about it again and maybe, just maybe, they didn’t actually notice the lipstick. It’s possible they are innocent bystanders. At least I can hope.
When the photo popped in my email inbox complete with the plum-colored smudge across my smile, I chuckled at the image and realized how a simple goofy-looking photo represented what can happen when no one is around to assess the situation and tell you the truth.
