Every July 29, we celebrate National Lipstick Day! An item that has been around for thousands of years and more than another step in someone’s makeup routine is a symbol of fight.
It is believed that the first people to wear lipstick were Ancient Sumerians. According to history, they used crushed gemstones to paint their lips. We can also track down the use of lipstick in ancient China and Ancient Greece, where they use beeswax berries.
During the 16th-century in England, Queen Elizabeth popularized applying a lot of bright white powder on the face to let the lips shine with bright and bold colors. By the 19th century, France released the first commercial lipstick, and the rest is history.
Now we can find hundreds of brands and colors, and each season a new shade makes headlines. Find below our top pick brands, and don’t forget to tag us on social media wearing your favorite color.

Giorgio Armani Beauty Lip Power
The new Lip Power features a unique formula where a special polymer blends two immiscible oils to create a formula that feels light, comfortable to wear, and maintains a vivid intensity.

Then, a semi-volatile oil, which evaporates 100 times more slowly than typical lip color oils, coats the lips, giving you gorgeous, long-lasting color and comfortable wear all day long. The highly-pigmented, high-performance shades maintain vibrancy for 8 hours, and the collection features 30 impactful shades ideal for those seeking a genuinely expressive, highly pigmented lip experience.
