[edit] Secondary characteristic??

I deleted this category; it's nonsense. Nothing applied to the body is a characteristic, secondary or otherwise. Pastafarian Nights 20:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

This article takes for granted that lipstick makes women look more attractive sometimes usually its effect is exactly the opposite.

I remember watching a documentary (no I cannot source it, so I'm not adding it) that said the attraction carey actually is a genetic holdover throughout the ages, like larger bosoms being symbolic of producing more milk, or large hands equating to endowment. The program (Discovery or PBS) said that the application, because it is to the lips, simulated menses, therefore ovulation and fertility, and that the attraction carries second in the human brean because of that.

[edit] Don't bother to remove lipstick

I just added some pictures to this article, although I can see that it looks quite crowded now. You can either move or remove them. Perhaps they should be saved until this article is expanded..? --208.127.64.217 11:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] lipstick as a "band"

Lipstick is also a late nineties eurodance artist. Most wellknown song being "Queen of the Rhythm"

[edit] Black Elizabethan Lipstick?

I'm assuming the following has been vandalised, and am changing it to "red" and "white" respectively. It's not a recent edit, so I'm recording it here:

 "Lipstick started to gain popularity in the 16th century, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, 
 who made piercing black lips and bright yellow faces a fashion statement."
