hey did you know red lipstick was popularized in the US in the 40s and 50s because a certain rat bastard German hated it and lipstick was one of very few luxuries women afforded themselves at the time? ANYWAYS. Felt cute, won’t delete - ThreadSky

my grandma was from italy and fled bc of mussolini (hitler bro). she said red was a protest color in italy too and she would parade through the town square in a red cape 💃🏻❤️

Love how it looks on you! We love a red lip moment

I thought it was earlier than that, but it makes sense since the US didn't enter the war until 1941.

Also, you are stunning! 🫶🏻

inthepouringrain.swifties.social•102 days ago

Thank you 🫶🏻 and red lipstick has been around forever, it had its moment with suffragettes and flappers but got brought into the mainstream beauty culture during the war. The history of lipstick and particularly red lipstick is FASCINATING all the way up through today

That's so cool, and yes, I bet the history of make-up in general is fascinating.
