It’s part of tradition for the rulers of Naboo to wear. Queen Amidala also uses it because it gives her instant authority. (When she has the white make-up on, she is the Queen). (QAJ p.6&7, VD p.25) What’s up with the red lipstick mark on her lower lip? It’s called a scar of remembrance. The remembrance is of a time thousands of years earlier on Naboo when there was much suffering. This was before the Great Time of Peace.
