Well I still prefer women and I am engaged with a girl, not statue.
But I begged(Including taking a lot gifts and doing everything she want.) her much for not using lipstick. I find it just unnatural. That is all..
And I am sure you are agree with me, a woman lips with clour is not more natural than a wall coloured.

Thanks for being such a good sport, Mortaza! Your fiance is very smart! Heck, I'm making a list of everything I want my better half to give me in exchange for not wearing any lipstick too! What a great idea!

What's the matter, BG Zero? Can't find a lipstick color to suit your needs? Well, here's a little bit of lipstick history to help you!
Ancient Egyptians used henna to paint their lips. Also used as lip rouge was a reddish purple mercuric plant dye called fucusalgin, 0.01% iodine, and some bromine mannite, which was potentially poisonous.
There are certain oils and fats used in lipstick include olive oil, mineral oil, castor oil, cocoa butter, lanolin, and petrolatum. More than 50% of lipsticks manufactured in the U.S. contain substantial amounts of castor oil.
Recently, ingredients such as moisturizers, vitamin E, aloe vera, collagen, amino acids, and sunscreen have been added to lipstick. The extra components keep lips soft, moist, and protected from the elements
Making lipstick is similar to making crayons--a lot of heating and mixing and stirring goes on. Simply put, the mixture is finely ground, and the waxes are added for texture and to maintain stiffness. Oils and lanolin are added for specific formula requirements. The hot liquid is then poured into cold metal molds where it solidifies and is further chilled. The formed lipstick is put through a flame for about half a second to create a smooth and glossy finish and to remove imperfections.
Always read the ingredients contained in the lipstick before buying it. I go for ones which have moisturizers and cocoa butter.
Read the rest of this short article I have posted to get a better idea of the history of lipstick. Enjoy and welcome to the women's history forum!

Also important to know: about 90% of producers of cosmetics, including lipstick, use flatalates and synthetic musks in the cosmetics. These can give you cancer, disturb hormoneproduction and distribution and can have a negative effect on fertility.
Not a pleasant thought, is it?

That's right, Mortaza! Therefore, in order to survive, I think you better stay with the wall!
Speaking of dangerous lipsticks, here's the Kiss of Death: The Lipstick Pistol
Part of the new International Spy Museum collection in Washington, D.C., the 4.5mm single shot weapon disguised as a tube of lipstick was referred to as "The Kiss of Death. Used by KGB operatives during the Cold War, the existence of the weapon was first detected at a border crossing into West Berlin.
Lipstick was one of many options for concealing weapons during clandestine operations - torches, pens, tobacco pipes and cigarette packets were also used, but if we had to choose one device NOT to use it would be the KGB's single shot Rectal Pistol which was encased in rubber and hidden exactly where the name suggests. Not something you want to go off prematurely.

Hi Cahaya! Well, I just picked up some moisturizing lip gloss by Revlon today. I love that it goes on so smoothly and lasts a long time. I also looked at some light pink colors to match with my fingernail polish - to mix and match! That's so cool!!!!
