ARMED FORCES
Edie Sedgwick gets a lip gloss, courtesy of Armour beauty.
In the early '90s, LORAC founder Carol Shaw named her lipsticks after Hollywood clients of her makeup salon. There was Claire (as in Danes) and Jennifer (as in Aniston), plus Lisa (Kudrow), Julia (Roberts), and Gwyneth (you get it).
Now rocker-turned-makeup-queen Theo Kogan borrows the idea with Armour Beauty, her new line of eco glosses. "We just named the lip glosses after everyone we tried to dress like in high school," she laughed. "So there's Barracuda for Ann and Nancy Wilson and Nirvana for Courtney Love..."
The glosses were the brainchild of Kogan, a rocker and model, and Allison Burns, a makeup artist whose clients include Cyndi Lauper, Nancy Sinatra, and Kelly Osbourne.
"We knew there was a need for color that could last through anything - a show, an after party, an all-nighter," explains Theo, "But we also didn't want women to put tons of chemicals on their faces." Which explains why Armour is committed to eco-fueled, cruelty free ingredients.
So far, there are fourteen glosses - some demure, some downright neon. But if the Armour team have their way, that's just the beginning.
"You can't do a rock show with just lip gloss," grins Theo. "You need eyeliner, eye shadow, glitter, hair stuff... I mean, I want it all!"

Honestly I feel like there are soooo many other influential women out their. I probably wouldn't buy an edie or a courtney gloss. edie was an idiot who was beutiful who had it al and than lost it al including her life. now audrey Hepburn is a more appropriate lip glosss to wear. As for Courtney well shes and idiot too. I'd rather wear a Gwen Stefani Gloss. We should start looking up tp positive icons.

I love Edie but nothing about her makes me think lip gloss. If it were lashes and eyeliner or shadow I'd be all over it. Being that its lipp gloss and I already have a ton I'll pass.

Daisy, Edie wasn't an idiot. She was damaged from the beginning. The Sedgwicks have a long history of mental abuse. Yes Edie did drugs, a lot of them, but she used them to cope with life.
