National Lipstick Day Deals and Offers

lipsticks on display

Most women enjoy wearing lipstick without thinking too much about it, but applying this lip color was once considered a revolutionary act. In fact, the feminist movement of the early 20th century was celebrated by the wearing of red lipstick. Lipstick was controversial for many decades, centuries even, but National Lipstick Day reclaims the simple beauty and confidence found in wearing the perfect shade of lip color.

What We Like About National Lipstick Day

Everyone loves lipstick. Whether you are the wearer or the admirer, it is hard to pass up a great lipstick compliment. National Lipstick Day is most enjoyable for people trying something new and out of the ordinary. It is also a day to remember the efforts of Women’s Suffrage in the United States. It is a day where new lipstick collections debut, new shades appear, and all the insecurities about beauty wash away just for a moment. There is nothing better than nicely moisturized and well-maintained lips.

History of National Lipstick Day

The controversy of lipstick potentially dates back to ancient times. Stained lips, as well as colorful eyes and faces, have been seen by ancient Sumerians, ancient Chinese, and ancient Greeks. Almost everything has been used to create the perfect stain for your lips, from powdered gemstones to crushed bugs and potentially poisonous things in between. During the Middle Ages, lipstick was shunned as an insult to God's handiwork, and some people considered it witchcraft to trick men.

Lipstick's popularity grew during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I (1558–1603), when some upper-class women imitated the elegance of her fair face and red lips. At the time, it was unlikely to see common people displaying such boldness. Later, when the middle and lower classes adopted lipstick, it was worn mainly by actors and prostitutes. It was not until the late 19th century that lipstick started to be produced commercially and become widely available. Starting in France and venturing across the world to America, lipstick has become an everyday essential for many girls and women. It's fitting to set aside a day to celebrate something so rich in history and significance as well as color.
