HOW TO USE LIPSTICK FOR A COMPLETE MAKE-UP LOOK. ONE PRODUCT, MULTIPLE USES

 IS LIPSTICK? DO YOU KNOW ITS HISTORY?

Lipstick is a small stick made of a compact, greasy substance whose main use is to give colour to the lips.

Already in ancient Mesopotamia, crushed semi-precious stones were used to adorn both lips and eyes. This practice later spread to Egypt, where crushed beetle powder was used. 

The fashion for lip colour would continue in Greek and Roman cultures.

In medieval Europe the Church banned make-up, so it was not until the 16th century that it was revived by Queen Elizabeth I, who made red lips and pale faces fashionable. During this time lipsticks were made with a mixture of beeswax and red pigments from plants. 

Around 1850 what we know today as lipstick was born, mainly due to the change to more health-friendly ingredients.

The first lipstick in modern history appeared in 1884, created by perfumers in Paris. It was a paste made of deer tallow, beeswax and castor oil wrapped in tissue paper.

The main purpose of lipstick is to give colour to the lips, but we can also extend its use and make it have not just one, but three uses.
