Why You Might Start Seeing Women Upload Pictures Online With Smeared Lipstick

News

There's a reason.

You may start to see women upload photos online with smeared lipstick.

The reason? It's part of a new campaign called #SmearforSmear, aimed at raising awareness as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month concludes.

Started by the U.K. group Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, the campaign highlights the importance of women getting smear tests. According to the organization, such tests save thousands of lives each year.

The campaign works by asking individuals to share a photo, then nominate friends to do the same.

“My sister Natasha Porter beat cervical cancer and will be three years all clear in May," participant and actress Kirsty-Leigh Porter said. "I can't stress how important it is for girls to attend a smear test. It saved my sister’s life. It could save theirs.”

Ladies, please pay more attention to your health conditions. #smearforsmear
