The bold red lipstick that people all over admire dates back to ancient times – in Ancient Egypt, dye extracted from carmine beetles and ants became a cosmetic staple, with only the poorest classes not being able to procure the cosmetics. Cleopatra, for example, was often sighted and depicted with red-colored lips. Although the production and commercialization of lipstick have changed dramatically since then, one thing remains true: lipstick is a quintessential product, worn by over 80 percent of American women. Women use over 9 pounds of lipstick in their lifetimes, but over 30% of that is ingested, with greater amounts for flavored products.
