RE|D LIP||S
Throughout the early 20th century, lipstick came in a limited number of shades. Dark red was one of the most popular shade throughout the 19th and 20th century. Dark red lipstick was popular in the 1920s. Lipstick was worn around the lips to form a "Cupid's bow". At that time, it was acceptable to apply lipstick in public and during lunch, but never at dinner.
