Program Description

Event Details

"From Harlots to Heroines: The History of Red Lipstick" traces the bold, surprising journey of one of beauty’s most powerful symbols. From ancient cultures and scandalized societies, to suffragettes, silver-screen icons, and modern trailblazers, red lipstick has been used to shock, seduce, protest, and empower. This intriguing program explores how a single swipe of color has reflected changing ideas about morality, gender, power, and self-expression—and why it continues to make a statement today. Equal parts cultural history and style story, this program reveals how red lipstick went from forbidden to fearless.
