Are you a makeup fanatic and obsessed with teeny-tiny makeup products that give you the ultimate joy? To honour your love for makeup and other dazzlers like you, there are special days such as International Lipstick Day, International Makeup Day, and National Lash Day. So, let’s learn a little about each of these days, and how you can celebrate them.
• International Makeup Day
Several people use makeup as a form of self-expression. It is undeniably a form of art that has been appreciated by more and more people over the past years. It helps one feel confident and more comfortable.
The celebration of International Makeup Day marks the journey of makeup and its acceptance today. Over the years, there have also been several advancements in the world of makeup. Earlier, women used crushed berries as blush. However, years of experimentation have given us the handy dandy blush we use today.
Before the existence of foundation, concealer and powder, ancient Romans applied chalk all over their skin. This helped them even out their skin tone and made them look dolled up. The first signs of makeup came from Egypt, where women painted their eyes by applying dark colour under the eyelid and blackening their eyelashes. This led to the discovery of modern-day kajal and mascara. The celebration of world makeup day is a great way to honour its journey. A great way to be a part of the celebration is by expressing your love for makeup freely.

• International Lipstick Day
Lipsticks surely uplift your mood and make you feel confident. From reds, nudes, pinks to dark maroons, there is a shade for every mood and occasion. Sometimes you can simply wear lipstick and step out without applying any other makeup product.
The popularity of lipsticks grew post-1915 when the first twist-up lipstick tube was invented by James Bruce Mason (in 1923). This invention made it easier to carry lipstick around, and it also made the application process a breeze. Several beauty brands celebrate International Lipstick Day with great joy and promote the importance of this product in the makeup world.

Eyelashes are the real game changer in makeup as they help to open up your eyes and give a wide and brighter appearance. Eyelashes guard our eyes against dirt, dust, and foreign objects, and keep the moisture within the eyes intact.
A quick history about National Lash Day – It is celebrated annually on 19th February to promote the beauty and functionality of lashes. In this day, people acknowledge and appreciate the presence of both real and false lashes and how these lashes hold the eye makeup together and elevate the overall face makeup.
How to observe National Lash Day?
