Today, lipstick is a cosmetic that is made of pigment, oil, waxes and emollients and is totally safe to use. Now you will the history of lipstick as following:
About 5000 years ago, the origin of lipstick can be cited in the ancient city of Ur, near Babylon. During that time, semi-precious stones were crushed and smeared on the lips as lipstick. In the Indus valley civilization, ladies used to apply red color on their lips.
During the 16th century, the lipsticks became quite popular in England, under the rule of Queen Elizabeth I. She introduced the trend of chalk white faces, teamed with blood red lipstick.
With development of time, lipstick comes into our modern life. From 1952 to1957, lip line by gala is the first lip stick in a tube! Before they used to have to brush it on, kind of like paint! Talk about wasting time! It took women about twenty minutes to paint their lips.
From 1958 to 1973, the famous Bonne Bell comes out with lip glosses the smell and taste great. With so many Bonne Bell products today, you're probably wondering what they had then. Well, all they had been little lip glosses in a tube with flavors like, Grape Jelly, Strawberry, and Dr. Pepper. Now, teenage girls aren't interested in that exact Bonne Bell product as much, and like some of their other things with more color better. But then, it was odd to every see a teenager girl without a Watermelon lip gloss in her pocket!
From 1973 to now, there are finally lipsticks so when your grandma kisses you, there won't be a big red stain!
Nowadays, if you don’t make up, maybe you aren’t fashionable women or you have no taste.
