Lipstick is a cosmetic product used to apply coloration and texture to
lips, often made of wax and oil. Different pigments are used to
produce color, and minerals such as silica may be used to provide
texture.
The use of lipstick dates back to early civilizations such as
Sumer and the Indus Valley Civilisation, and was popularized in the
Western world in the 16th century.
The color of lipstick has
aesthetic and cultural significance as different colors carry
different connotations. Red lipstick has historically been associated
with sensuality or women's independence.
