Is anyone curious about cosmetics originated? Well,
let me give you a brief history about it. It’s pretty interesting…………….
It all started some 12 thousand years ago when the
Ancient Egyptians discovered healing abilities of scented oils. From that
point, cosmetics rose and become a part of their religion where GODS were
honored by their entire population with large use of oils, eyeliners and other
products to enhance their looks.
There were conflicts in Rome and Greece when
cosmetics ventured outside of Egypt where it was viewed as being wasteful and
unwanted. However, as the years went by, Rome women were not considered as
beautiful if they did not wear cosmetics thus, creating a demand hence
increasing prices. Only the few wealthy women got cosmetics from India and the
Middle East. However, to combat this, the GODS declared a short lived law to
prevent public uses of cosmetics.
In today’s world cosmetics have come a long way
and played a major part in society…………
Guess that's why Cleopatra was considered one of the most beautiful women that ever lived.
ReplyDeleteThat is true but also the dark pigment painted around the eye helped protect the eye from the bright midday sun glaring off the desert sands.
Deleteyes makeup was used thousands of years ago throughout history and countries eyes, lips and body. makeup should enhance beauty and not be used to hide uglyness as its just a front. always like to see people without makeup , whats under the mask!!!!!!!!!
