Lipstick

Needless to reiterate the point that, yes, a full face of makeup can dramatically enhance your appearance, but a lipstick just like some other makeup products is a powerful makeup product alone. If you do decide to go for any shade of lipstick, it has the power to complement your skin tone or just wash you out. So, selecting the right shade of lipstick for your skin tone is very important.

History of Lipstick

Before we jump right into helping you discover which shades of lipstick you should go for, here’s a quick and fun history of lipstick.

It is said that the Sumerians invented & wore lipstick, followed by Cleopatra in ancient Egypt. Apparently their lipsticks were made of ingredients as varied as crushed gemstones to beetles and even ants.

Then over a thousand years ago, the Chinese made lipsticks from beeswax as a way to protect their skin. In Australia, ochre was used to paint their lips red during puberty rituals. In the 16th century, it was worn by Queen Elizabeth I, and by the end of the 19th century, a French cosmetics company started to manufacture lipsticks.

Back then, lipstick came in a case and was applied with a brush. It was worn by actresses in the United States like Elizabeth Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, etc. Soon enough the packaging changed and everyone was soon wearing lipstick in different shades. Lipsticks for women are available for light skin, brown skin, medium skin tone, warm skin tone, dusky skin tone, and other Indian skin tones.
