Lipstick is a woman's second skin

As a product that brightens the lip color and adds gloss, lipstick once replaced lipstick and became the main character dominating the market. Since last year, lipstick has returned to the public's attention. Lipsticks with strong texture, rich colors and easier styling have regained their glory on the catwalk, and they seem to have regained their momentum. This year, major brands have launched lipsticks with more colors, which are more choices than lip gloss and lip gloss. Perhaps it is due to the lipstick effect under the economic crisis, and bright red has become the theme of this season. Chanel's 2009 new season lipstick series is all red, and bright red has become a hot item. Bright gold is also popular. "Flaming red lips" is definitely a trend throughout the year.

From the ancient times when human history was recorded to the present day, lipstick has never left women. From plant juice extraction to the current thousands of lipstick production methods and complex formulas, the history of lipstick development is almost a history of the development and changes of human women. Let us turn the scroll of history to see what changes lipstick and women have gone through.

Beauty from the Nile

Beauty from the Nile: Lipstick is believed to have been invented in Ur, an ancient city in present-day Iraq, but it soon became popular with the neighboring ancient Egyptians. At that time in ancient Egypt, makeup was part of the lives of men and women, so lipstick was naturally promoted. Red was considered the color of the royal family. It is said that the famous Egyptian queen Cleopatra crushed magenta beetles and added ant eggs to mix a yellow-brown lipstick color she liked and applied it on her lips. It became popular and was imitated by other noble ladies.
