You put your lipstick on every single day, but have you ever stopped to think about where it comes from, what it’s made out of or who wore it first? I know – you have important things to think about and vital things to get done, but if you’re curious, I’ve done all the work for you. Here are some fun facts about lipstick to make your day. You’ll never look at the product the same way again.

Snapshot Survey

What's your signature makeup look for work?

1. It’s Colored with Bugs – Scary!

blond, color, hair, eyebrow, hairstyle, What? You read that right! Some brands of lipstick get their pigmentation from bug parts. If you see a brightly colored bug, the last thing you want to do is put it on your lips, right? Maybe you’ve been doing it all along and didn’t even know. Read the ingredients and you should be able to find one that doesn’t have creepy crawlies in it.

2. It Used to Be Notoriously Banned

beauty, lip, skin, cheek, cosmetics, Would you believe that lipstick used to be banned in some states in America? For example, Kansas banned lipstick back in 1915 saying that it created the wrong idea. Whatever that meant at the time, women under age 44 weren’t allowed out in public wearing color on their lips. Weird!

3. It Expires after Two Years

clothing, hair, eyebrow, hairstyle, model, Most beauty products have a shelf life, which means they won’t last forever. Your lipstick is no exception. When you buy a new tube, write the date you open it with a permanent marker on the outside. When you hit two years later, it’s time to toss that lipstick and buy a new tube.

4. Shocking - It’s Unregulated

hair, black hair, hairstyle, finger, model, Lipstick isn’t one of the things that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates. That means that it could contain toxic ingredients. After all, when no one is checking up on them, lipstick companies can do what they want. That doesn’t mean that all of them do. It’s a good idea to read the ingredients carefully though. If you don’t know what something is, look it up before buying.

5. Sales Skyrocket on Rainy Days

eyebrow, hair, blond, model, hairstyle, Research shows that the sale of lipstick tends to go up on rainy or gloomy days. That’s because a bright new shade of red can really cheer you up and brighten the day. Of course, you can still stock up on sunny days too, but a rainy day is the perfect chance to try a new color.

6. Most of It Goes Right into Your Stomach

blond, color, hair, eyebrow, person, Of the lipstick that you apply, most of it winds up in your stomach. Surprised? In fact, studies show that the average woman actually eats about four pounds of lipstick over her lifetime. This happens when you chew or lick your lips or when you get it smeared all over your cup, then take a big drink, transferring some of it back into your mouth. Don’t worry. This probably won’t cause any long term health issues.

7. Lipstick Sales Are Always Good

eyewear, hair, hairstyle, vision care, sunglasses, No matter what the economy is like, lipstick sales never seem to suffer. In fact, sometimes sales of lipstick go up when a recession hits. Research shows that when money is tight, women would rather spend on lipstick than clothes or shoes. Which side are you on?

What’s your favorite color of lipstick? Which of these facts was most interesting to you?

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

That's when Queen Elizabeth made it fashionable. Having red lips before that time was considered a sign of Satan Worshipping 😂

Hmm I wonder who invented lipstick🤔

ummmaahh

nice lips

For those of you who are wondering where lipstick came from, it was first produced in France, in 1884. Before that date, it was made at home, with different ingredients (which were often toxic). It was banned before the 16th century.

It fell out and back into popularity until the 20's where bold lips where wildly popular. During WWII, bold red lips were standard uniform for women working in the factories.

Scientist have found traces of lip pigment with ancient Egyptians as well. Cleopatra was fond of a red lipstick that was made from crushed red carmine beetles.

That's y I use lip scrubs, sugar and fruit such as banana 🍌
