Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Lipstick has been linked with royalty and the devil. It's been called a sign of female emancipation and female oppression. Lipstick history dates back thousands of years, to ancient lipstick made from crushed gemstones and lead. In ancient Greece, harlots legally had to wear lipstick, while 18th century Britain declared lipstick a sign of witchcraft. And the origin of red lipstick, still a trendy look today, involves some downright disgusting ingredients

As a former long-time Law Writer for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, I especially appreciate the narrator's recitation of some classic Statutory Language from Olde England. It's a dialect unto itself. And to maintain sufficient consistency with existing law, and not flush its long-evolved body of judicial interpretation down the toilet, we could not modernize the State legal lingua franca but with careful baby steps. And in New England, in Massachusetts, drafting under the oldest continuously living Constitution in the entire World. uh, yeah, what y'all heard here is still pretty close to the structure and phraseology that I had to maintain for quite a lot of my work. That was a cool job. Different. Very Different.

It was interesting to see F. Scott Fitzgerald's story Bernice Bobs Her Hair description of women in the 1910s decade using the color of red jelly beans to get their lip color in the short film adaptation! In the VHS collection version of The Flintstones on the notes it mentions how Betty and Wilma's lip color changes from red to pink by the second season as a sign of changing fashions!

2: 50 It wasn't like today. Lots of arranged marriages then so they didn't have a chance to see that face in the morning or right after a shower. I think it's fine to say that it's improper to fake your appearance in order to sell your looks as more than they are if someone can't find out until it's too late.

09: 35 - if youre ever in the Los Angeles area, there is an amazing museum dedicated to Max Factor and the make up used during the 1930s and 40s in Hollywood. It is a must visit for anyone who loves the history of makeup, classic movies, and the actresses!

Hi
Read the 1st book of Enoch to discover WHO introduced womankind to cosmetics! THE NEPHILIM ( Fallen Angels) Young women dont need it, and old women look disgusting wearing makeup! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua returning soon to govern the world!

No wonder men today are always asking women what they look like without make-up onI love my Ruby Woo lpstick from MAC. It's the best shade everBut I do feel powerful and beautiful whenever I wear my red lipstick, even just wearing it & nothing else.
reply

LOLOL men just couldn't stand that lipstick and cosmetics in general on women turned them on! And I'm sure there were plenty of gay men in ancient history who wanted to wear it too. In school, I did a paper on the history of cosmetics. I got an A: )

The 1650 bill to ban lipstick was added to Parliaments schedule, but was never proposed (Ive looked through the schedule. The 1770 law never existed as a bill or legislation passed. These are both historical myths that are continuously perpetuated.

I love how literally everything is about perspective. Wearing a shade of red can make you a witch, a patriot, a harlot, a nobleman, a suffragette and so and so forth, all depending on what popular narrative exists at the time in question.
reply

A lot of bitter feminists in the comments. I would like to point out that the suffragettes thought of lipstick as rebellion against the patriarchy, while 2nd wave considered it oppression. Hypocrisy, thy name is feminism.
reply

Men were shocked to see women apply lipstick in public. Today I saw a video of a woman with x's taped over her nipples in bondage gear getting paddled on the subway in NYC screaming harder. Thank you suffragettes hahahaha

10: 26 Gloria Steinem wore a TON of makeup, and had her hair streaked. This made her more popular than Germaine Greer, Betty Friedan and other feminists of the era, who were considered ugly and unfeminine.
reply

5: 00 uh yeah what happened to that whole free will thingy smh. Dont let those annoying uber feminists nowdays find out about this or lipstick will be added to their list of things to try to cancel
reply

I can't believe that there was mandatory lipstick in the marines! These days the American military regulations don't allow anything for feminine, apart from skirts and pumps in the dress uniform.
reply

Lol at all women on here laughing about men being fooled by makeup, yet spend billions of dollars a year on the stuff. I think they are fooled more than men.
reply

I tell me friends lipstick is an aphrodisiac stemmed from the primal attraction for men to see a woman being covered in the blood of the meat their eating
reply

ngl i can see the rationality in saying makeup is bad because god created everyone perfect already, first ever body positivity post

Wait, Taylor Swift is a star?

A ball of gas that burns everything that comes close. Never mind that sounds right.

reply

Sooooooooo generally. Men have been trying to control women and what they do with their bodies for like CENTURIES. SMH.
reply

Always very well researched, but this one had a lot of jumping back and forth between ancient and more recent history.
