Dear Leader gives field guidance to lipstick factory

The (North) Korean News site frequently relates touching little stories concerning the solicitousness of the Dear Leader for all his subjects seemingly minor needs. Here he demands a great leap forward in the field of cosmetics:
One day in August Juche 92 (2003) General Secretary Kim Jong Il visited the Pyongyang Cosmetics Factory.

After looking around the production processes of the factory, he was guided to the sample room.

Exhibited in the room were different sorts of quality cosmetics produced by the factory.

He took a lipstick in his hand and looked at it.

He then told officials that the factory was producing lipsticks of only a few colors and that it should produce such cosmetics as foundation, lipstick and face powder in various colors so that women could take their choice suitable to their face color and taste.
Otherwise, Korean News has the usual sludge:
[...] Thanks to this effective ideological and theoretical weapon provided by Kim Jong Il the army and people of the DPRK have been able to decisively meet the political and military pressures and foil the ideological and cultural poisoning of the imperialists, hold high the socialist banner of Juche and glorify the nation's dignity before the whole world.

Preserving the Juche character and national character provides a fundamental guarantee for firmly protecting the independent dignity of the country and the nation and to preserve them is an important requirement for building a self-reliant thriving nation on the land of the country.

To give play to the Juche character and national character is a basic requirement for steadfastly preserving the true nature of socialism and giving full play to the advantages of Korean-style socialism. [...]
The latest Haveil Havalim has been able to decisively meet the political and military pressures and foil the ideological and cultural poisoning of the imperialists.
