If you are a teacher who loves freebies (like me) then National Lipstick Day is just for your. If you didn’t already know, Monday, July 29th is National Lipstick Day (did you even know there was such a day? how honoring!) and M.A.C. is giving away free lipsticks again this year!

When is National Lipstick Day 2024?

National Lipstick Day has been around since the 1940’s and is always celebrated on July 29th each year. It is a day dedicated to the appreciation and promotion of lipstick, a cosmetic product used to color and enhance the lips. On this day, many beauty brands and retailers often offer special promotions, discounts, and events related to lipstick products. It’s a fun celebration for makeup enthusiasts and a great opportunity to try out new lipstick shades or brands.

Why is there National Lipstick Day?

National Lipstick Day is not an officially recognized national holiday in the United States or any other country. Instead, it is a marketing-driven observance created by cosmetic companies and beauty retailers to promote their lipstick products and generate buzz around the beauty industry.

These types of unofficial holidays or observances are often used by businesses to increase sales and engage with their customers. By designating a specific day as National Lipstick Day, companies can offer promotions, discounts, and special events to attract consumers and create a sense of excitement and urgency around their products.

Over time, some of these unofficial observances gain popularity and become widely recognized by consumers, but they are not formal holidays in the traditional sense. The beauty industry, in particular, has seen an increase in such marketing-driven observances to capitalize on social media trends and consumer interest in cosmetics and beauty products.
