Lipstick has been a secret female weapon that women have successfully used for a long time, but historians disagree about when it first appeared.

In a report published by the Russian FBRI website (fb.ru), writer Natalia Turupova says that some researchers trace the history of lipstick back to 5 thousand years, during the Sumerian civilization, while others believe that it appeared for the first time in the civilization of ancient Egypt.

In the twentieth century, with the spread of cosmetics, lipstick became one of the most widely used and common products.

But why did Nazi leader Adolf Hitler hate him?

At the beginning of the last century, lipstick acquired a special meaning for women, as it was a symbol of rebellion against the traditional role of women, that is, doing household affairs.

Women wanted to break into the public space, do business, participate in politics, and achieve equality with men, and lipstick may be said to be associated with courage and self-confidence.

When women staged vigils in New York for their electoral rights, entrepreneur Elizabeth Arden distributed lipstick.

Then women in other countries began to paint crimson lipstick during the protests.

With the outbreak of World War II, women began using lipstick to show their resilience against the horrors of war.

During that period, some brands began producing lipsticks for women who participate in combat activities, and named their products such as "Kifah", "Nasr" and "Khidmah" and "Assaya".

Hitler came and his concern was focused on the purity of the Aryan people (Germanic-German), and the absence of face adornment was part of that purity, according to his opinion.

It was believed that the beauty of an Aryan woman should be natural without the use of cosmetics, especially lipstick.

Hitler also opposed products containing ingredients of animal origin, and animal fats were then used in the production of lipstick.
