Happy National Lipstick Day! On July 29, today encourages you to wear your best color.
For some, lipstick is the only makeup requirement. Whether sheer and light, dark or bright, July 29 calls for all kinds of lipstick.
Throughout the ages, controversy surrounded lipstick. In 1770 British Parliament banned it, calling it a devilish attempt to trick men into marriage.
In some circles, lipstick was associated with witchcraft. Occasionally, lipstick contained poisonous materials.
It is said that French stage actress Sarah Bernhardt created a scandal by applying “lip rouge” in public. Surprisingly, 1st U.S. President George Washington supposedly wore lipstick.
While Queen Victoria considered wearing lipstick impolite, one of her statesmen had a different opinion.
During World War II, Sir Winston Churchill thought the lip color boosted morale in an excellent way.
Of course, versatility is lipstick’s brand. It changes with a mood or with the scenery. Whether lipstick defines your attitude or channels your inner spirit, wear it on July 29.
No matter your style, lipstick adds a subtle accent or a bold statement. Let your lips speak. However, punctuate it with your lipstick.
