Are you aware of the new term that has originated this recession? Well, it is 'Lipstick index' that measures the link between economic downturns and lipstick sales.

With the clouds of recession still looming around the world, lipstick may soon be out of sale. Ah, hang on. The cessation will, however, have nothing to do with people's habit of spending, it'll rather be a substitution with some thing better.

Women are now trying really hard to keep their spirits high by kissing goodbye to lipsticks and welcoming flawless skin. A large number of women are dealing with economic crisis with liquid foundation, and thus supplanting lipstick as the essential item in make-up bags in the recession.

However, L'oreal, the world's largest beauty company, has found in the UK market that foundation has edged out lipstick as the 'must-have' product for women, with more than one third of 18 and 19-year-olds citing it as their most essential beauty product against 8 percent opting for lipstick.
