Wearing red lipstick became an act of resistance against Nazi fascism and Adolf Hitler's regime during World War II, primarily in Allied countries

Hitler and the Nazi party promoted a restrictive and conservative ideal for German women, discouraging cosmetics, especially red lipstick, jewelry, and "unfeminine" hairstyles. He reportedly hated red lipstick, claiming it contained animal fats and was anti-Aryan. By wearing red lipstick, women in Allied nations directly opposed these restrictive ideals and asserted their femininity and independence.
