History of Makeup

History of makeup

Egyptians used to create the world's first cosmetics to the products of today that can do everything from hide pores, smooth complexions, and turn the pale green of your eyes a shade of emerald, makeup has been apart of humankind for thousands of years. Women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale appearance.

Personally, I think people nowadays have got too selfish over makeup and use it everyday when they dont need to such as; fake tan. People before used fake tan for dancing competitions and other activities but they didnt wear makeup whilst athome etc.
In Japan, Girls wore lipstick made of crushed petals to paint the eyebrows and edges of the eyes as well as the lips and sticks of wax, a softer version of the sumo wrestlers' hair wax were used by geisha as a makeup base.
