A signature lip has long been a power move\u2014a way to command attention, express identity, and show up with confidence. Some of the most memorable women in history are associated with distinct lip looks. Marilyn Monroe\u2019s red, and Taylor Swift\u2019s, come to mind. And Grace Jones\u2019s metallic fuchsia.<\/p>\n

Red lipstick, in particular, has been dubbed a sign of resistance and strength for women. In 1912, suffragettes marched for women\u2019s rights in New York City wearing Venetian Lip Paste from Elizabeth Arden, an emblem of their grit and determination.<\/p>\n

Just a few swipes of La Bouche Rouge in La Folie makes her feel \u201cready to take on the world!”<\/p>\n
