Anybody would be surprised by the fact that the use of cosmetics or makeup can be traced to as far back as the time of the Ancient Egyptians. This has been discovered thanks to various forms of archaeological evidence. The members of the Egyptian royalty were said to have been the first ones to use it. Men in particular were said to have first used it as a way to add colour to their faces and even make their own designs. Different types of ore(rock) were said to have been the first implements of makeup to be utilised.
There are other examples of makeup usage during the ancient times. It is also believed that both the Romans and Greeks were also prominent makeup users even back then. Makeup usage is also cited during biblical times. The dawn of the Victorian era saw the everyday utilisation of makeup and even more so for women. This was done to achieve as pale a complexion as possible.
Makeup has since greatly grown over the years and has turned in to a very lucrative enterprise for some companies. Makeup may be more popular now than it ever was but even then people were always looking for that extra help to look even better.
