Beverly Hills, California: "NARCOTIC RED" lipstick tube is the newest product developed by Dr. Marcia Ann Mims Coppertino, the author of '21 Days with the Mistress of King Midas'.

From the deepest crimson to the brightest cherry hues, the red lipstick tube is packed with confidence which could get its wearer a stunning look.

It was in 3,500 B.C.E. that Red lipstick originated in the Sumerian region of southern Mesopotamia where red rocks, a variety of gemstones, were crushed into a powder to tint the lips red.

A trend of lip color of all shades also became popular in Ancient Egypt, where Cleopatra was known to wear lip paint created using crushed insects mixed into a vibrant paste.

To give the early lipstick a variety of hues, textures, and finishes, other additives, such as groundfish scales and harmful elements were used, some of which were toxic when applied to the skin, but over time such practices became a history.

Depending on the decade, century, or region, wearing lipstick has been of social importance and has carried with it a multitude of meanings such as being alluring, a proclamation of social status, or a performance of wealth, an admission of wickedness, vanity, or a failing of morality, show of elegance or a visual statement of confidence, dependent till the present times on the beliefs of the social conventions of the era. For example, at one point in Roman history, men regularly took to wearing lip color, red and otherwise.

With changing beliefs and times, the chemistry of lipstick also changed when during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, oils, waxes, and petroleum were added as the ingredients to facilitate the chemists and the cosmetics companies to augment the longevity of wear, the variety of hues, and the moisturizing potential of the formulas.

The packaging of this product underwent various changes from Ancient Egypt the lip color was mixed in pots leading to the present typical lipstick package of a bullet with a cap and a twist-up mechanism, first patented in 1923 by Nashville, Tennessee-native James Bruce Mason Jr.

Since then there was an evolution of lipstick with a change in the beauty trends.

But the instant impact of a red lip doesn't change, as the color always makes a statement.

Everyone From Cleopatra to Marilyn Monroe, who selects a red color, makes it their own.  There has never been a shortage of iconic red-lip looks. What's your favorite red? Do you have a brand or a specific shade that is your beauty calling card? Or are you in the red-is-for-special-occasions-only camp?
