From what I have read, red lipstick was used by women originally to signify that they were ready to mate/good mates. It was supposed to mimic the sexual/reproductive organs of a female. It was later used by prostitutes and the Church had banned it for some time too (now that is anti-feminist). Today I saw a woman wearing black lipstick, I assume to match with the dress she as wearing. I wonder what the ancients would have interpreted that as a signal for?
