Red lips

Red lips on a woman signify sensuality but this was not how it got started. Back in the Indus Valley civilisation, lipsticks were applied as face decorations. Cleopatra's lipstick were made from crushed carmine beetles with ants as a base.

So what is it with red lipstick? One look at the different collections out there and it is hard not to notice that red is the most popular colour when it comes to the lips. Well, it could be due to the fact that the lips are similar in appearance to the labia, which happens to flush red and swell when aroused. This may cause a conscious or subconscious reason why women makes their lips even redder with lipstick. A set of red lips may signal the opposite sex to be attracted because it signify a healthy woman's reproductive system.
