Red lipstick today is still such an iconic wearable lip and has been around since the Sixteenth Century , worn by Queen Elizabeth 1 who made the red lip wearable along with pale white skin. It was made with beeswax and plants.
However, in the late 1800's Queen Victoria seemed to think make-up was impolite and become unfashionable, But some still went against and sported the red lip, such as film star Sarah Bernhardt.
In the 1930's became even more popular and by using marketing and advertising methods, this boosted lipstick sales. The founder of Rubenstein makeup (Helena Rubenstein) was the first to bring sun protection to attention within makeup. The red lipstick was also an iconic aspect during the war.
By the 1940's chemist Hazel Bishop introduced a 'no smear' lipstick. 90% of the woman in America wore the red lip.
Of course within the 1950's, there is nothing more iconic than Marilyn Monroe's red lip.
Between the 1960's and 1970 new colours of lipstick were invented. With the punk era movement black and purple lipstick emerged.
During the 80's the red lip came back in, influenced from Madonna during her Like A Virgin Tour, wearing MAC's first line of lipstick, the iconic Russian Red.
Within the 1990's the reds become muted browns, nudes and plum tones. Of course the average woman still wore the iconic red lip to stand out.
The red lip is still worn today by celebrities such as Lady gaga, Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift and many more rocking the iconic vintage style on the red carpet.
