episode 757: Pucker Up! The Politics & Pleasure Of Red Lipstick
Red lipstick has been worn for thousands of years across many different genders and cultures, interpreted as a sign of power, feminism, sexuality and pride.
But why do we place so much emphasis on this particular beauty product? And why do some of us either love or loathe wearing it?
To find out how a lipstick became such a powerful statement about who we are as individuals and a society, and how to find your perfect shade, The Quicky speaks to a stylist, a beauty guru, and and expert in identity to unlock the secrets and power of a red lip.
