Although its creation may be even older if one considers the pigments used by Egyptian and Greek culture, lipstick as we know it is celebrating its first century and remains a complex symbol of femininity.
Is there any woman who doesn't carry lipstick in her purse? Perhaps, but it's undeniable that this item is a symbol of feminine beauty and an icon of popular culture. Lipstick is celebrating its 100th anniversary and remains the best-selling makeup product, with nearly 1 billion units sold worldwide.
The history of lipstick may even be older if we consider the primary makeup used by women in antiquity. In parts of Egypt, some natural pigments served as the basis for modern makeup. Waxes were blended to create certain colors used on the eyes and lips, but initially, these were only permitted for the aristocratic social class. (Read also: What if women want to wear makeup?)
In Greece, women painted their lips to indicate that they were prostitutes, while in Rome it was upper-class ladies who did so.
Ancient pharaohs and kings also wore makeup, though this was far from a matter of vanity. For them, makeup was associated with warding off evil spirits and possessed medicinal properties. For example, they believed it could remove the evil eye or represent the strength of their ancestors.
But the revolution arrived in 1915 thanks to the American manufacturer Maurice Levy. With the idea of simplifying application and eliminating the cumbersome process of needing a brush—which, paradoxically, is back in fashion today—Levy and other manufacturers decided that the solution was a simpler and more hygienic presentation.
After many attempts, Levy created a balm in stick form, initially a bit unstable, but which later evolved into the product we see today. In short, he devised a lipstick attached to a platform—which slid out as the lipstick was used—and housed inside a metal tube with a cap. This made the stick reusable.
Voila, something so simple remains today the quintessential product and a complex symbol of femininity. Loved by most, but subjected to scrutiny by the more radical who label it an oppressive, sexist, provocative, and tremendously sexual object, lipstick nevertheless continues to hold its own in the beauty market.
"Lipstick is perceived as an accepted consumer and grooming item in an environment where modernity is desired and professional success predominates as a life goal (...) But we must not forget the primary function of makeup, and that is to create a visual illusion.
"It temporarily modifies the face and, therefore, the way in which its users present themselves to others," as described in a study by the Catholic University of Peru called 'Lipstick: identity, presentation and experiences of femininity'.

This research also suggests that certain colors accentuate these sexist practices. Red lipstick has always had a distinctly sexual connotation.
"The elements that identify femininity may be underestimated, but they contain discourses and knowledge that tell us about what it means for society not only to be a woman, but to achieve a certain ideal image. The cosmetics industry plays with these symbolic values," the text states.
The union of makeup and advertising has likely given rise to one of the most powerful weapons of mass dissemination of all time. From magazines and media outlets to social networks, the ideal of perfection, of fashion, of trends, the ideal of being a woman, man, child, or homosexual, is amplified by constant presentations of models embodying that lifestyle.
Lipstick has played an important role in key moments in history. Besides being a prop in theater, for example, it was a product marketed by Elizabeth Arden during World War II in a campaign called "Campaign as Duty" to try to downplay the crisis the world was experiencing.
