This post talks about how lipstick emerged in our lives and how the significance of the lipstick is celebrated through National Lipstick Day. But, first, let's look at how National Lipstick Day came into being and who brought the idea.
Fun Fact: Cleopatra used insects to create a tint for her lips to enhance her facial features.
The History of National Lipstick Day
Long before 2016, the celebration of a lipstick's significance was only limited to its ancient myths and legends. It was July 29, 2016 when Huda Kattan, a beauty blogger, re-founded this day, and the expedition of this day's celebration began.
Before 2016, the day was not so popular among people. It was celebrated without any specific declaration. Now with many businesswomen, female entrepreneurs, and bloggers, along with Huda Kattan, this day is now widely celebrated throughout the globe.
Many people claim that this day was founded to enable social media influencers and celebrities to post their snaps and images to mark the day's significance. However, regardless of the origin, this day not only marks lipstick's importance as a beauty enhancer product but also invokes people to learn more about its history.
How Lipstick Emerged in Our Lives — A Brief History
Sliding on a favorite lipstick is a daily motivation for many of us to step out of the house. Unfortunately, the pandemic times have led us to become addicted to staying indoors. What has also become oddly satisfying to watch is the imprints on masks of our favorite matte or a creme lipstick.
As flabbergasting as it may sound, this satisfaction roots back to 5000 years ago. What has now become associated with a specific gender was worn as a status symbol by Sumerian men and women who were supposedly the inventors of lipstick.
Later, Cleopatra was known for her infamous lip tint that she supposedly extracted from crushed carmine. Ancient Rome and Greece initially restricted lip tint to only the prostitutes and courtesans until it was commonly worn.
Fun Fact: The sparkling substance found in lipstick during ancient times was made with the help of an element called pearlescent that came from fish scales.
