You will not only find lipsticks from the baroque era to the present but also the matching publicity for them and prints of the kissing lips of famous stars like Mireille Mathieu or Simone Thomalla.
On top of that, the visitors learn something about the cultural history of the lipstick, for examle the self-confident appearance of women with make-up smoking as vamps. It is definitely desired that you touch the exhibits.
Should you wish to do so, you may "pretty up" your lips after the tour using make-up tips from the professional.
