Lipstick Day we celebrate the wonderful and gloriously glossy survival of that little stick of colour in your handbag.

Whether it is seductively adding more pull to your pout, or you're scrawling a meaningful message on a mirror, the power of lipstick cannot be ignored.

Here are nine BIZARRE things you didn't know about your lippy…

1. White lipstick was a trend in the 1960s for a true 'mod' look.

2. It’s said that women who wear lipstick daily unintentionally eat about 4 pounds of lipstick in their lifetime (HOW GROSS). 

3. In the 1700s, a man could have his marriage annulled if his wife had used lip rouge during their courtship. 

4.  According to a study called the 'Lipstick Effect' women increase their desire to buy lipstick during economic recessions. 

5. Some shimmery lipsticks used to contain fish scales (also known as “pearl essence”) to add shine.

6. Although the term 'lipstick' wasn’t first used until 1880, lipstick use actually dates back to Ancient Egypt. It’s said that Cleopatra made her red lippy from crushed Carmine beetles. 

7. One of the most expensive lipsticks in the world is Guerlain’s KissKiss Gold and Diamonds Lipstick, which will set you back €56,000. 

8. While all other cosmetics were rationed in Britain during WWII, lipstick was kept in production because Winston Churchill felt it boosted morale.

9. A University of Manchester study found that a woman wearing red lipstick captures a man’s gaze over three times longer than one who is wearing no lipstick at all.

There you have it ladies, from the weird to the wonderful. 

Pout out!

It's safe to say we go through a lot of lipstick. The colour that is 'in' one week, is out the next and ends up just lying in the bottom of our handbags.

Not ideal.

We all fancy the perfect pout that our fave lippy gives us, but have you ever wondered where the stuff that you put on lips actually comes from?!

Stylist to the stars, Rachel Zoe shared a video on her website, The Zoe Project, which documents the journey of lippy… and it's actually pretty cool.

Well, now you know!

Yesterday, Jodie Marsh appeared on This Morning and suffered a little beauty mishap of having lipstick on her teeth.

Look, it's something that can happen to all of us, and we're sure that you've come home after a long day and discovered you have red all over your teeth and nobody told you.

But Jodie was quite annoyed by the blunder and took to YouTube to make her feelings known.

She wasn't happy at all with the presenters for not telling her and said on the video: "I just wanted to turn today into a positive rather than dwell on the negative – rather than dwell on the fact I had lipstick on my teeth and maybe someone should have told me.

"I definitely would have told someone I was interviewing but maybe that's just me," she said.

However, she wasn't just irked by the make-up malfunction. She appeared on the show to talk about her search for a sperm donor, and revealed she was upset that Holly and Phillip focused so much on her past rather than her present.

"The fact is I didn't feel like I had enough air-time today.

"I know they can't give you more than the allotted 8 minutes or whatever but I felt like my air-time focused a lot on the past and who I used to be – and I'm talking 15 years ago – and not the person I am today.

"I just wasn't happy with how it went, talking about me being a sex addict.

"I think all 23-year-olds are sex addicts. You only have to watch Love Island to see that, all having sex on TV – which is something I've never done," she added.

We've all suffered our fair amount of make-up fails through the years, but one we all totally dread is going out with lipstick on our teeth.

Unfortunately, that happened to Jodie Marsh when she appeared on This Morning earlier today, and fans of the former model were quick to point it out.

She was on the programme to talk about how embarrassed she is about her past dating life, and how she plans to have a baby via sperm donor in the near future.

However, her fans were more interested about her beauty fail:

Sure look, it can happen to all of us!

If girls love anything it's flowers and makeup, so naturally a lipstick which contains tiny floating flowers is pretty much a dream come true.

Not only does this magical-looking product contain real flowers, it also changes colour throughout the day making it the stuff of actual dreams.

The clear lipstick – which was created by Chinese beauty brand Kailijumei – comes in three colours and dries matte when first applied.

But throughout the day the colour changes as it reacts to the temperature – getting lighter as things get cooler.

And as if that isn't awesome enough, this mesmerising lip product is made entirely of natural ingredients, including cocoa butter, olive oil and lavender oil which help keep lips hydrated.

Unfortunately due to being seriously Insta-famous, the lippy is all sold out but fingers-crossed it will be back soon.

Khloe Kardashian is killing it at the moment, stepping out in the slickest new fashion and beauty trends.

And if you want to get your lips just as sultry as Koko's then you don't want to miss out on this.

The reality star took to her website to tell her fans all about her go-to make-up products. And her fave lipstick? NYX, no less.

Yep, NYX Matte Lipstick in Daydream is her colour of the moment and you can get it for just under €8.

She said that she combines the lippy with a bit of liner and gloss to get that puckered-up feel.

Sorry Kylie, your lip kit just isn't cutting it here.

The 2016 Screen Actors' Guild Awards took place on Saturday night in LA, and the celebs were out in full force for what was one of the last big awards shows before the Oscars.

From Saoirse Ronan's classic nude-pink lips to Priyanka Chopra's to-die-for orchid ones, there was a whole host of totally lustworthy beauty looks on this year's red carpet.

The best part? A bold Hollywood lip is so simple to re-create at home, just pick the correct shade, slick on some primer first and you're good to go.

Here are a few of our favourite looks from this years SAGs – and the perfect shades from Clarins' new Joli Rouge Brilliant range to go with them.

Priyanka Chopra
This vibrant pink look is not for the faint-hearted, but HOW hot does Quantico star Priyanka look?

DIY her look: Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant in Hot Fuschia, €23

 

Hannah Murray
Game Of Thrones Hannah veteran ditched her blonde locks for a gorgeously warm auburn style, teaming it with an elegant red lip. We love.

Saoirse Ronan
Saoirse kept things simple with a pale pinkish nude, teamed with minimal eye make-up and impeccably groomed brows. Can this girl do no wrong?

Sarah Hyland
Another celeb who opted for a pink lip, Sarah kept to the lighter end of the scale with a sweet baby pink shade.

DIY her look: Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant in Tea Rose, €23

 

Sofia Vergara
Sofia's fuschia lips were bright, fun and bubbly, just like her. Win.

DIY her look: Clarins Joli Rouge Brilliant in Fig, €23

While you might not be walking down the red carpet in front of hundreds of TV cameras á la Sofia or Saoirse, a lipstick that lasts all night long is still oh-so important.

For a base coat that doesn't dry out your lips, we love Clarins' new Lip Perfecting Touch (€18.50).

Now, to find the red carpet-worthy dresses to go with our perfectly made-up lips…

She's been teasing her new lip colours for a while now, after her first batch was a major hit. 

First, she shared a photo on instagram of the colours in BLACK AND WHITE, so we really had no clue what they would look like. 

But now, she's showed us Posie K in all its bright glory. And we're kinda loving it.

It looks a tad darker than the promo image, but we're guessing it will look different depending on skin tone.

We've no doubt her new shades will sell out as quick as her last batch did.

All we need to do now is get our hands on some!

When we think of lipstick shades that anyone can pull off, we think of the nudes, the pinks and the classic reds. They're the fool-proof ones, right? 

Most woman shy away from dark hues – especially on a daily basis – but this new shade seems to hit the mark for every skin tone out there. 

Tom Ford's lip colour, Matte in Black Dahlia has been described as a balanced shade by make-up artists because it has a slightly cool undertone as well as a hint of warmth to it. 

Elle tested the shade on a number of women and found that just one quick swipe of this delicious hue will totally set up for the day:

The dark lip trend is one that we don’t see disappearing any time soon. Which is completely fine for anyone who calls themselves a fan.

For every pretty pink or creamy nude out there, there’s going to be even more vampy shades to choose from. There is something so very glam about the dark lip look. 

However, a statement bold lip also comes with some less then appealing flawless side effects.

1. Straws are very necessary: 

Well, you can do without them. But then you'll end up with an unintentional ombré effect. Also, no one really wants to leave the Granny-esque kiss marks on every single glass in existence.

2. Falling asleep in makeup means waking up with a red polka dot pillowcase. 

Just another item to add to the washing pile.

3. You have to exfoliate your lips. Every. Single. Night. 

If you’re constantly wearing highly pigmented lipstick then you're probably familiar with the old toothbrush and lip balm exfoliating trick.

4. The accidental over line: 

However, Kylie Jenner has made this a non-problem, the oversized out is pretty much a beauty phenomenon.

5. Attempting to rock a cute and tiny clutch is never an option: 

You need your lip liner, lipstick and a compact. Who needs keys these days anyway?

6. If you don't wear it one day, everyone notices: 

“You look a bit different today, am I right?” This is because they're so used to you looking like a boss with your amazing lipstick.

Every woman will have a beauty crisis at least once a week.

But fear not, because Cosmopolitan has made a video of insanely easy beauty hacks that will have you back on your beauty A-game in no time.
