Description

A glance back at a decade when lipstick served as both a witness and a catalyst to history Join freelance writer and consulting copywriter to the beauty industry Ilise S. Carter for a glance back at a decade when lipstick served as both a witness and a catalyst to history. The 70s have long been thought of as a low point in American culture and style. However, for the beauty industry, the era of disco and Watergate marks a tremendous shift in the who, how, and why of lipstick wearing. Drawing from her book, The Red Menace: How Lipstick Changed the Face of American History, Carter weaves together how the shades on everyone from Marsha P. Johnson to Dolly Parton made a lasting impression on the course of our politics and pop culture. Carter is freelance writer who has written for Allure, The New York Times, and others.
