Did you know that the most pigmented in the dark-lipstick spectrum is black? If you thought that rebellious black lips were a new trend, you are completely mistaken. The first-ever mention of black lipstick can be traced back to ancient Egypt! That too around 4000 BC. Isn’t that incredible? Egyptians were extremely bold and experimental when it came to their makeup and colour choices. During the black and white era of Hollywood in the 1920s, the starlets applied black lipstick for drama and intensity. In the late 1960s, David Bowie, the famous singer sported it and it was embraced with open arms by the fashion world. Be it scary or stunning, this lipstick shade has the ability to turn heads. What say? Ever tried black paint on your walls? It can have the same effect!
