New Delhi: National Lipstick Day is celebrated on July 29 and is a fun celebration of one of the most popular makeup products. Ancient Sumerians were most likely the first to apply lipstick. Crushed gemstones adorned not just their lips, but also their eyes and face. Lipsticks were also popular in ancient China, where beeswax was used, and in Ancient Greece, when courtesans put berry-derived colours on their lips.
