The Allure of Lipstick: A Comprehensive Guide to the Iconic Cosmetic
Lipstick: the very word evokes aesthetic sensations and memories. Ordinarily, just a few strokes with a tube or stick are all that’s needed to add colour and presence to your lips.

In what follows, I build a profile of lipstick under the three overarching themes of the Oxford Handbook of the Psychology of Beauty.

Finally, the impact of lipstick is examined from the standpoint of fashion and cultural motivations. My hope is that this all-encompassing ‘mini-manual’ of lipstick will be useful, enjoyable and, above all, instructive.
