Given her nature, her last wish came as a surprise to her friends and family: she wanted a makeover. “In her last two days of life, she surprised her family by asking them if she could get a haircut by a professional, and if she could get her nails done, but unfortunately they couldn’t make the request happen on such a short timeline. And they also struggled a little bit to find somebody who was comfortable providing those services in the environment of the hospice,” says Leigh Schumann, who started The Lipstick Project shortly after her friend’s mother-in-law passed away in 2012 without getting the professional beauty care she sought in her final hours.
