Seeing Red...
🕑 Added 2022-10-21 21:11:44 +0000 UTC"The color red has represented many things, from the life force and the divine to love, lust, and anger. Up through the Middle Ages, red held a place of privilege in the Western world. For many cultures, red was not just one color of many but rather the only color worthy enough to be used for social purposes. In some languages, the word for red was the same as the word for color. The first color developed for painting and dying, red became associated in antiquity with war, wealth, and power. In the medieval period, red held both religious significance, as the color of blood and the fires of Hell, and secular meaning, as a symbol of love, glory, and beauty." Michel Pastoureau
As a symbol, red lipstick has undergone many permutations. For ancient Egyptians and Elizabethan England, red lipstick was a symbol of status, reserved for the upper classes only. Between the Renaissance and the end of the 19th century, red lipstick in the Western world was associated more with actors, women of ill repute, and even witches, rather than respectable women.
If you had to categorize my use of red today, I wonder if the lines have become very blurred. Is red working it's magic on you?
