WARNING: NOT FOR THE FEINT OF HEART!
Since the dawn of time when we were just brainless Neanderthals, eating caribou ass and pulling each others pubes hoping to find the answer to our existence, we were already finding ways to differentiate ourselves from our animal counterparts. Even at this earliest stage cosmetics were a big thing! Body paint, jewelries, necklaces made of deer testicles and lion molars...you name it.
Among these cosmetics, one stood out in particular, its popularity lasting for millenniums, all the way up until the modern ages; this absolutely fabulishous face-paint is know today as lipstick. Beautiful lips are incredibly sexy, there's no better way for a hot blooded guy to put it, and it didn't take a million years for women to notice this. Men would fall head over heals when they saw those luscious kissers just begging to be taken home!

Don't laugh, that's the Scarlett Johansson of 10k B.C
Like most human inventions though, we seem to have quite the unstable relationship with it. It's amazing how something as mundane as lipstick could actually have a rather raunchy History. This cosmetic tool's got enough erotic spins to to fly a whirling sex helicopter ...
Doing their eyelids before doing their siblings
Very much like kindergartners armed with Pen-tel-pens people back then were amazed when they figured out how to draw on the surfaces of their skin. In the pursuit of beautification they often used whatever they could find lying on the ground or hanging from the end of a tree branch. On the search for the roots of the history of lipstick I stumbled upon the article "One Stick of Glory - History of Lipstick" written be Veronnica Foregger on the website "thegroundmag.com". According to the article, lipstick was first recognized by the women of the Mesopotamian civilization. They got a little creative using the dust of crushed rocks and jewels to sprinkle on their lips. So they all pretty much look like certain vampires we all know from a certain series. The next Ancient Civilization create lipstick were the Egyptians, however they were a little more...extreme, to put it simply. In Ms.Foreggers blog she quotes:
"Ancient Egyptians made their own concoction consisting of extracted dye from seaweed, a bit of iodine and highly toxic bromine mannite to produce lip color.."
Although both Ancient Egyptian men and women enjoyed powdering themselves with makeup, women were really often times at the receiving end of death and disease. Yes, lipstick was literally something to die for! As stated in the article, these things were made from really dangerous chemicals, and by chemicals. You can just imagine the after effects that would happen if these lovely women invited a couple of men over for some adult play time, which brings us to our next part!
During the early 1900's both men and women would scorn the use of lipstick, I couldn't blame them. After all, who would want to be caught wearing something that had a millenniums worth of history being used as a sex line ad. Yeah you heard me right. I quote from the article "The Origins of Lipstick" by Metz Longinette Gahring, found at the site "askcandace.com"
"Of course the swelling and moisture of a vagina’s “lips” were more graphic and noticeable, but why not mimic it by moistening and painting the face’s lips? And to lubricate these lips would greatly facilitate a penis’ gliding in and out."
Wanna drop down your deck and flop like a fish?
Well, wasn't that a mouthful! Further on in the article it states that during the ancient Roman times, Prostitution was actually a legal and legitimate profession. In order for the women to attract customers they would apply shades of color on their lips to advertise their prows in the art of Oral sex. The psychology behind this was that they would paint their lips red in order to imitate the look of both outer rims of the female organ. Lipstick being a mobile advertisement for happy time carried on further until the medieval ages. Princesses would be just a tad bit scandalized for wearing lipstick because of this tidbit in history and in the early 1900's it was still considered immoral and would associate young women who wore lipstick as "loose girls" (prostitutes) while most men would say that they preferred a natural look to a fake one. As a result, hundreds of women were up in arms (not literally) with rebellion to declare the need for self expression.
Today many women (and some men ) freely use lipstick, like most things that start out so rocky that people would endlessly form gripes about it with every reason they had, it finally subsided in our culture. However, in spite of how forgotten it's roots have now become, one cannot forget his primal urges when he sees a woman with lips lusher than the amazon jungle. It's sole purpose in history was to attract, and whether for self expression or not, the attraction of a millenniums worth of attention is definitely to be noted.
