THE LONG ANSWER:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipstick

Ancient Mesopotamian women were possibly the first women to invent and wear lipstick. They crushed semi precious jewels and used them to decorate their lips... (I think it said it was invented thousands of years BC - surprisingly LOL)

England

Lipstick started to gain some popularity in 16th century England, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I, who made bright red lips and a stark white face fashionable. By that time, lipstick was made from a blend of beeswax and red stains from plants. Only upper class women and male actors wore makeup.[5]

In 1770 a British law was proposed to the Parliament that a marriage should be annulled if the woman wore cosmetics before her wedding day.[6]

In the 19th century, lipstick was not considered acceptable in Britain. When Queen Victoria took the throne in 1837, she banished lipstick[citation needed] and deemed that it was only acceptable for prostitutes. It was considered brazen and uncouth to wear makeup.[1] In the 1850s, reports were being published warning women of the dangers of using lead and vermillion in cosmetics applied to the face. By the end of the 19th century, Guerlain, a French cosmetic company, begin to manufacture lipstick. The first commercial lipstick had been invented in 1884, by perfumers in Paris, France. It was covered in silk paper and made from deer tallow, castor oil, and beeswax.[1] Before then, lipstick had been created at home.[7] Complete acceptance in England may have been slower, but appears to have arrived for the fashionable Londoner at least by 1921.[8]

In short: APPARENTLY SO.

Have you noticed how ever since she's gone evil they've seemed to cake her in cake (and not always very flattering make-up) whereas in S2 they didn't put much on her at all, reinforcing this sort of shrinking violet look. She looks considerably more threatening with the evil eye-liner and evil lipstick.

Morgause must have educated her in the art of wearing evil make-up.
