In 1770, the British Parliament passed a law banning lipstick!

The pastor and English writer Thomas Hall said the lipstick was "the devil's work" and that anyone applying the product was trying to bewitch men.

In 1770, the British Parliament even went so far as to adopt a law banning lipstick, stating that women found guilty of seducing men by a cosmetic means could be tried for witchcraft.

Later, in the early 1920s in New York, lipstick was also almost banned because of the possibility for a woman to poison a man with a kiss.
