"I'm speaking." Who can forget this iconic line [1] uttered by now Vice President Kamala Harris [2] to former vice president Mike Pence during one of the debates back in October 2020? With just those two words, Harris spoke for women everywhere trying to make their voices heard — and not just in politics. The phrase was quickly adopted as a feminist slogan and stamped across T-shirts, stickers, and now, a new lipstick collection [3].
SheSpoke Makeup [4], a cosmetics brand that specializes in custom lipstick blends, recently launched a limited-edition collection called "I'm Speaking" [5] ($85), inspired by not only Harris, but also by two other trailblazers that left a major mark on 2020. The four-piece bundle features three lipstick shades — one for Vice President Harris, one for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and one for former state representative and voting rights activist Stacey Abrams — as well as a clear gloss topper.
Also sold individually, "Kamala" [6] ($32) is a sheer neutral with a shiny finish after the warm color that became her go-to on the campaign trail; "Stacey" [7] ($32) is a bold, plum-red shade that will motivate you to make your voice heard, just as Abrams did in Georgia; and lastly, "Ruth" [8] ($32) is a pinky-coral color with a rich pigment for the notorious RBG.
If a regular old lipstick has the power to make you feel like a total badass, just imagine what a lipstick inspired by three feminist trailblazers has the power to do.
