Lipstick

Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color and texture to the lips. There are many varieties of lipstick. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women. It is usually not worn until adolescence or adulthood. Lipstick started to gain popularity in England the 16th century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, who made piercing red lips and bright white faces a fashion statement. By that time, lipstick was made from a blend of beeswax and red stains from plants. Only upperclass women and male actors wore makeup.In 1770 a British law was proposed to the Parliament that a marriage should be annulled if the woman wore cosmetics before her wedding day. When Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, she banished lipstick and deemed that it's only acceptable for prostitutes. It was considered brazen and uncouth to wear makeup.In the 19th century, lipstick was not considered acceptable in Britain. In the 1850s, reports were being published warning women of the dangers of using lead and vermillion in cosmetics applied to the face. At the end of the 19th century, Guerlain, a French cosmetic company, begin to manufactured lipstick. The first lipstick was invented in 1884. The first lipstick was invented by perfumers in Paris, France. It was covered in silk paper and made from deer tallow, castor oil, and beeswax. Before then, lipstick was created at home. Complete acceptance in England may have been slower, but appears to have arrived for the fashionable Londoner at least by 1921.
