Every July 29, every country in the world celebrates... lipstick! It is indeed International Lipstick Day, 24 hours to honor the most popular beauty product in the world. Long associated with the color red, hence its name in French, lipstick is today more than a make-up product. Available in thousands of shades, it is now even more popular in nude.

Did you know that archaeological studies have revealed that the first use of lipstick took place around 5,000 years ago? In Mesopotamia, the cosmetic product was indeed made from crushed semi-precious stones and mixed with paste or beeswax! Present in the following civilizations, in ancient Egypt and ancient Greece, it became popular in the 16th century.

In 1880, Guerlain created "Ne m'oublie pas", the first stick of lipstick based on candle wax, while after the Second World War, Coco Chanel created a sensation with her red lips, at the time reserved for actresses, socialites or prostitutes...
