Lipstick Feminism is a type of feminism which considers it acceptable, even favourable, to both support female empowerment and indulge in beauty and fashion to enhance one’s appearance. In fact, lipstick feminists support the notion that things like wearing high heels and make-up actually empower women.
Traditional feminists disagree with lipstick feminism because they feel something like wearing lipstick is objectifying, not empowering.
Examples of those who support lipstick feminism include authors Theresa Riordan (Inventing Beauty) and Linda M Scott (Fresh Lipstick).
