History of cosmetics By: Erica Farfan

Why women use make-up We dot it for ourselves- women put on makeup for themselves. It makes them extra confident about themselves.

It corrects things that we can’t correct ourselves if you have a pimple on your nose, you would put on concealer to hide it. Or if you look pale you would put on some blush. Women put on makeup to conceal anything like zits, blotchiness, and blackheads.

It makes them feel young and beautiful They want to look good, they believe that they feel good with it on, and they don’t want to feel ugly without makeup on.

How different countries use makeup Men and women in Egypt would use scented oils and ointments to clean and soften their skin, and mask body odor.

Most of the ingredients used were myrrh, thyme, lavender, lily, peppermint, rosemary, rose, aloe, olive oil, sesame moil, and almond oil Around 4,000 bce the Egyptian women wore copper and ore around their eyes to make their eyes stand out They would also put malachite (a mixture of copper minerals) on their cheeks, and kohl became the main products for lining their eyes.

Between 3,000 bce and 1500 bce Chinese women would stain their fingernails with gun, beeswax, and egg. The colors would represent social class- Chou dynasty royals wore gold and silver Subsequent royals wore black and red Lower classes were forbidden to wear bright colors on their nails
