Pucker up! Today, July 29, is National Lipstick Day. To celebrate, Newsweek has scoured the internet to find the best deals to help you get your lips looking their best.

Facts About Lipstick

According to National Day Calendar, the British Parliament banned lipstick in 1770 as they considered it "a devilish attempt to trick men into marriage." Apparently, they thought it was similar to witchcraft.

In the Victorian period, French actress Sarah Bernhardt caused a huge scandal by applying her lipstick in public, according to Irish Tatler. At the time, it was considered an intimate affair and Queen Victoria apparently thought it impolite to even wear it.

By WWII, women were expected to wear red lipstick in the office, according to Stylist, in a bid to look "sexy" in the workplace.
