Lipstick Tattoos

Over the years lipstick cosmetics changed with the times and at one period in history women were burned at the stake for luring men in with their devil red lips. England's Parliament during the 1700's passed a law that a woman could be burned at the stake for wearing lip color. Queen Victoria said that lipstick and other cosmetics were not to be worn. Of course one of Queen Victoria's predecessors Queen Elizabeth was a great fan of cosmetics. At her court women wore chalk white on their faces with bold red lips and lots of jewelry amidst their ruffled colors.

As time progressed, women who wore red lipstick cosmetics were thought to be "fast" or "floozies" with their red tempting lips. Many women yearned to wear the bright red lip color but refrained and satisfied themselves with paler colors, rather than be looked down on.

In the twentieth century lipstick came into vogue, women started to claim their own power and they used bright red lipstick as a symbol. Movie stars started to wear more lipstick and chose bold sexy vibrant colors to give them that pouty wanting to be kissed look.
