History of Red lipsticks – Paving way for The Collection Exclusive by Blake
The history of red lipstick can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where both men and women used various pigments to stain their lips in shades of red. The ancient Egyptians, for example, used a mixture of red ochre, iodine, and bromine mannite to create a bold red lip.
In the early 20th century, lipstick was primarily sold in solid forms and was applied with a brush. It was considered a symbol of loose morals and was frowned upon by society. During the 1920s, lipstick gained more acceptance and began to be sold in cylindrical metal tubes.
In the 1930s, Hollywood stars like Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich popularized the red lip, making it a coveted beauty trend. Lipstick shades were limited in this era and the most popular shades were reds, pinks and berries.
During the 1940s and 1950s, red lipstick became associated with femininity and glamour. Actresses like Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor and Audrey Hepburn popularized the classic red lip, making it a timeless beauty staple.
In the 1960s, with the rise of the feminist movement, red lipstick became a symbol of empowerment and self-expression. In recent years, red lipstick has continued to be popular, with various shades and finishes available to suit different skin tones and preferences.
Nowadays, red lipstick is seen as a symbol of confidence, femininity, and power and it’s a staple in any makeup collection. It is one of the reason that so many brands are coming up red collections and L’Oréal Collection Exclusive Pure Reds is a manifestation of the bold, rebellious individual to express their femininity — their identity through makeup
