The Lipstick | Definition of Lipstick

 

Lipstick

Lipsticks are cosmetics that apply color, texture and protection to the lips.

There are many colors and types of lipsticks. Some lipsticks are also lip balms, to add color and hydration. 

Although the name was originally applied to a bar (rod) of material in a tubular container, typically about 10mm in diameter and 50mm in length, the term now generally refers to the material itself, regardless of the method of application.

Lipstick Trends

Throughout the 20th century, lipsticks were available in a limited number of colors.

Dark red lipstick was one of the most popular colors during the 19th and 20th centuries, especially in the 1920s. Flappers wear lipstick to symbolize their independence. Lipstick is worn around the lips to form a "Cupid's bow", which was inspired by actress Clara Bow. At that time, it was acceptable to wear lipstick in public and at lunch, but not at dinner. 

In the early 1930s, Elizabeth Arden began introducing different lipstick colors. She inspired other companies to make various shades of lipstick. [19] [20] In the 1930s, lipstick was considered a symbol of adult sexuality. Teenage girls believe that lipstick is a symbol of femininity, but adults see it as an act of rebellion. Many Americans, especially immigrants, do not accept that teenage girls wear lipstick. A 1937 survey study revealed that more than 50% of adolescent girls argued with their parents over lipstick.

In the mid-1940s, various youth books and magazines emphasized that men preferred natural looks to makeup. Books and magazines also warn girls that wearing cosmetics can affect their chances of popularity and careers. The implication of this article is that lipstick and blush are for teenage girls who act very provocative with men. [21] Although the use of cosmetics has increased, it has been linked to prostitution. Teenage girls are prohibited from using cosmetics for fear of being mistaken for "loose" girls or prostitutes. 

In the 1950s, film actresses Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor helped restore deep red lips. A 1951 survey revealed that two-thirds of teenage girls used lipstick.

Incredients

The lipstick contains waxes, oils, antioxidants and emollients. The wax gives the solid lipstick structure. Lipsticks can be made with various waxes, such as beeswax, ozokerite, and wax wax. Due to its high melting point, carnauba wax is the main ingredient for strengthening lipsticks. Various oils and fats are used in lipsticks, such as olive oil, mineral oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petroleum jelly.

Lipsticks get their color from a variety of lacquer pigments and tints including but not limited to bromoacid, D&C Red No. 21, Calcium Lake as D&C Red 7 and D&C Red 34, and D&C Orange No. 17. Lipstick Rosa is made by mixing white and red titanium dioxide. Organic and inorganic pigments are used.

Matte lipsticks contain more fillers like silica, but they don't have as many emollients. Cream lipstick contains more wax than oil. Long-lasting, thin lipsticks contain more oil, while long-lasting lipsticks also contain silicone oil, which seals the color on the wearer's lips. Glossy lipstick contains more oil to give a glossy finish to the lips. 

Glitter or frozen lipsticks may contain synthetic mica, silica, and pearl particles, such as bismuth oxychloride, to give them a shine or shine.

The lipstick is made from a grinding and heating agent. Hot wax is then added to the mix to give it texture. Oil and lanolin are added for specific formula requirements. After that, the hot liquid is poured into a metal mold. The mixture is then cooled. After hardening, they are heated on fire for half a second to create a glossy finish and remove blemishes.
