When we look in our history book we see that most women have very flawless skin, and we wonder, how can they look like that, if women in this time can only look like that with makeup? Well the answer is, They also used makeup. Since ancient times women from all over the world have used makeup. In Egypt men and women used black eyeliner and perfume. The Greeks used white lead as foundation, which gave them a very pale complexion; Pale skin was very popular until 1978, when the tanning bed was invented. During the middle Ages, it's actually a myth that people were very dirty or at least the elites weren't. Women found in this era used vegetable dye as blush to redden their cheek and also to dye their hair. By the 16th century women were carrying mirrors made out glass or steel. In 1784, The Toilet of Flora was published and it was a book on how to put on makeup. During the 19th century people disapproved women wearing makeup, however by the 20th century makeup was sold more often. In 1913 mascara was invented and 2 years later lipstick was sold in tubes with push up sticks. In, 1916 false eyelashes were invented by D.W. Griffith, a film director. In the 1930's lip gloss was invented and sold to the public in 1932. As the time moves, so does the improvement of the makeup. (lambert)
