Women in this country cannot wear red lipstick, there are strict rules for haircuts too


Women use lipstick to enhance their beauty. Although there are many types of colors available in it, but red color is different. There are many meanings associated with this color lipstick, in which the feeling of sexuality and confidence is prominent. It is believed that by simply applying red lipstick, the attractiveness of women doubles. But there is a country which wants to control this attractive point. That is why women there are not allowed to apply red lipstick. And if they do so, it is not considered good. (All photos: Pixabay)

This is happening even in the modern era.

We are talking about North Korea, where apart from living, eating, sleeping, sitting, wearing clothes, applying makeup and many other daily activities are banned. This includes everything from red lipstick and makeup to fashion related things. If these are used, then women have to be ready to face the consequences.
