Lipstick

Lipstick is a cosmetic product containing pigments, oils, waxes, and emollients that applies color, texture, and protection to the lips. Many varieties of lipstick exist. As with most other types of makeup, lipstick is typically, but not exclusively, worn by women. The use of lipstick dates back to ancient times.

History

 * Ancient Mesopotamian women were possibly the first women to invent and wear lipstick. They crushed gemstones and used them to decorate their lips. Women in the ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied lipstick to their lips for face decoration. Ancient Egyptians extracted red dye from fucus-algin, 0.01% iodine, and some bromine mannite, which resulted in serious illness. Lipsticks with shimmering effects were initially made using a pearlescent substance found in fish scales.
 * During the Islamic Golden Age the notable Arab Andalusian cosmetologist Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (Abulcasis) invented solid lipsticks, which were perfumed sticks rolled and pressed in special molds, and he described them in his Al-Tasrif.[citation needed] In Medieval Europe, lipstick was banned by the church and was thought to 53902526761970923_MfHPXcfD_c_large.jpg used as an 'incarnation of Satan', cosmetics being 'reserved' for prostitutes.

Modern Society

 * Sarans have used Lipstick and lip coloring for almost 8000 years and some scholars suggest that the Sarans influenced the ancient Egyptians in adopting this make up technique.
 * Pan Saran women use Lipstick and lip coloring from the start of their own society and it remained popular.
 * Saresii did not use lipsticks, but used lip coloring with brushes and later with automated means.
 * Terrans and Terran Colonists always used lipsticks, even though the use of Make Up Boxes (automated Make Up) advanced sprays and plastic surgery (lip color changing pigment implants) but the little tubes in the purses of women are still used. While scores of psychological studies try to explain the continuous popularity of make up, lip coloring and lip stick,its appeal to women is as strong in the 51st century as it was when they first appeared.
 * Lipsticks are used by all humanoid species of the Union and white lip stick has been exported to Kermac until the last Kermac /Union War.
 * It should be noted that the Takkians love to eat them (certain wax and pigment mixtures) that led to the development of Chanel – Takkian Color Lollies.
 * The smallest Lip sticks are the 2 mm sticks used by the females of the Mini Terrans and the largest ones are used by Saturnian women ( 2 kilo 50 cm)
 * The Sojonites (in their humanoid form) use lipsticks with a poison component that can be activated with a biochemical impulse.
 * The CEO of United Make Up Inc. has a Lipstick shapes space ship.
