Brief overview of makeup
Everything has an origin and the world of cosmetics does not escape it. The history of makeup began several thousand years ago. For some, it dates back to the first rudimentary civilizations, a time when makeup was obtained from products found in nature.
Clay, colored earth and some products that were obtained from animal fats were used to make the pigments with which Paleolithic women painted their bodies. Despite not knowing if these practices were done for aesthetic purposes, or if this painting served to communicate something concrete, the truth is that since prehistoric times the use of pigments has been used.
Some scholars suppose that it is ancient Egypt where the trend of using makeup to show off began, that is, for aesthetic reasons. Determining this era as the period of origin of the makeup technique as we know it. In fact, it goes so far as to say that the first makeup trend began in Egypt, where a large part of the population was influenced by the tendency to make up their face and body.
