National Lipstick Day is held on July 29. This is a day to celebrate the joy of lipstick.
Lipstick has a very colorful history. Early in the Greek empire, wearing lipstick was a sign that you were a prostitute. In the Roman era, lipstick was worn by both sexes and indicated social rank. In 1770, British Parliament banned lipstick, believing that it was a way to trick men into marriage. In America, George Washington sometimes wore lipstick along with his powdered wig. (Source)
