Lee Miller, FFI worker, liberated Paris, 1944.

The FFI were the Forces Françaises de l'Intérieur, resistance fighters who helped liberate France in the final years of WWII. They wore civilian clothing, armed themselves, and identified themselves with armbands.

For FFI and civilian women in occupied Paris, elaborate hair, pretty dresses and lipstick became a form of resistance and subversion. It was a way to fight back against the Nazi ideal of "natural" and "unpainted" Aryan femininity.

There was a scarcity of lipstick ingredients during occupation, so French women invented their own replacements, mixing together things like beeswax and beetroot to keep their lips red, a symbol of defiance against the Nazis.
