أحمر الشفاه

Lessons from Things is a series of beautifully designed short books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. From Revlon to Glossier, Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as changeable and impractical as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today - as part of their daily routine? And for those who do, is it out of adherence to strict feminine standards, or for another reason entirely? Lipstick revisits the most obvious—and controversial—tool in the beauty world. Stripping away outdated ideas of femininity like tubes of melted wax, the book explores how self-grooming can be a source of fun, pleasure and transformation, and how lipstick can unbalance gender norms.
