Lipstick Switch

Lipstick Switch was one of those games you'd find buried in the Flash portals of the early 2000s. It didn't have a big name attached to it, but it had a simple, clean look that fit right in with the era's casual puzzle games. You'd load it up in your browser, and it was just there, ready to go.

You control a cursor, clicking on tiles to flip them over and reveal different makeup items. The goal is to find and match every identical pair before the timer at the top of the screen runs out. Each level scatters more items across the board, so you're not just remembering where a lipstick is, but also tracking down its match among brushes and compacts. The pace starts relaxed, but the later boards get crowded quickly, turning it into a race against your own memory. It feels like a quiet, focused scramble.
