 A woman and
makeup is two-interlaced concepts which go together throughout centuries.
Shining eyes, long lashes, juicy lips and pink face is what any lady dreams to
boast with. Whatever night or day you experienced, no matter how short we are
in time to have everything done, any woman knows that makeup can do a miracle.
It makes a face fresher, removes defects and hides circles under eyes. And it is secret that any woman shouldpossess.
And it does not take to spend
days and nights learning how to use the foundation and mascara and leave
hundreds of dollars at beauty salons. When a woman has some notions on how to
use the makeup to look the best, she is not afraid to experiment and then she
wins.
A cosmetic bag on you
A cosmetic
bag is the accessory that is always on a woman who cannot resist looking at
herself in the mirror and correct her makeup any time she wants it. Major
makeup tool to arm is mascara, lipstick or lip-gloss and powder. However, an
ideal makeup is nothing without good quality eye shadows, perfect for your skin
foundation, tender rouges, eyeliners and concealer. Such cosmetic tricks have been invented long
ago, so, the old alternative for today’s mascara was the greasy blend of
Vaseline and black coal dust. Such ointment was in favor during 19th
century to attract attention to eyes invented by the perfumer Eugene Rimmel. The
perfumer is the founder of the legendary brand Rimmel, England.
The initial components of the first Rimmel mascara is not known for sure,
though the American perfumer Terry Williams created in 1913 exactly the same
Coal-and-Vaseline based dye. Later on, since 1932, the mixture opend by
Williams was distributed quickly and traded under the brand Maybelline, so well
known and popular today. Mascara of black color is classic tool but it is not
the only tool to accentuate attractiveness and beauty of eyes and color in
depth. The history of makeup knows the time, namely the year 1960, when several
new shots were made in makeup industry – blue color Roll-On Mascara by Revlon
and Iridescent Mascara Wand by Max Factor in blue, green, gold and violet color
gamut were introduced for fashionmongers.
Makeup
– the look from past
Mascara with the brush to dye and comfortable tube is the only discovery
of designers oftoday.
The other makeup components like ruches, lipstick, eyeliners, eye
shadows and evennail polish have been known to beautiful ladies from old
times.
Wall paintings
in Egyptian pyramids as well as digging findings showed the world that Ancient
Egypt has been the real Makka for makeup and instructions how to make and use
it. Men-pharaohs also tended to apply various dying agents onto face and body
along with women, servants and ordinary people. The legendary pharaoh-styled makeup
as black stripes to replicate the eye lines used the dye made from stibium and lead.
As scientists believe such a mixture should have decorated the face of ancient Egyptians
and prevent eyes and skin from infectious diseases caused by consumption of
dirty contaminated water from the Nile
River. In spite of the
bad reputation of the lead with its toxic features among other minerals, the
French scientists Pierre and Marie Curie, a husband and wife, proved that such
a match of hair dye and metal made the human skin to resist various viruses.
Such due was also used by the Egyptians to accentuate the brow line and eye
lashes. It is interesting that in Ancient Egypt green eyes were rare for
brown-skinned and brown-eyed Egyptians and thus green-eyed people were in favor
and in love. A special green dye, the prototype of eye shadows, were used to
apply to eyelids and they even painted their legs with it.
A mixture
of the animal fat and dying agent as a lipstick was used by Egyptian beauties
long before. It was mainly an ointment of red shades which added attractiveness
and appeal to face of women and as the perfect lip skin care product of the
past.
Basics of
modern makeup
World
tendencies of the latest decades are interlaced with the vouch for health life
style and natural components applied in makeup industry and other social
spheres. It is trendy to go in for sports, consume well-balanced food, keep on
a rational dieting, and so look young and healthy whatever age you are. Such a
tendency could not do without affect of cosmetic industry. Cosmetic products
manufactured today are designed to decorate faces to accentuate advantages and
hide defects, and also they help keep skin healthy, fresh and young to some
particular extent.
So, with
the purpose to have skin even, the foundations based on fat components, water
and dye were applied. Such cream had an only advantage – effect of makeup which
did not prevent pore clogging and skin dehydration. Foundations and powder offered
today by cosmetic manufacturers are based upon hypoallergenic products with
herbal essences and vitamins. The structure of such products shows microscopic
particles with the effect of color matching close to individual. So, Chanel manufactures
lighter foundations Poudre Universal Libre, which add more shine and glitter to
the skin apart from basic purposes. The face does not look like a mask but
healthy and fresh with rosy on cheeks.
Lipstick
For the
latest decades lipstick has undergone sea changes. A compact tube rooms dying pigment
and mixture of wax and oils with the entire set of nourishing microelements,
vitamins and moisturizing agents. A lipstick is used to keep lips fresher and
colored for longer depending on resistance of some dying agents, it can easily
replace rouge to cause additional care.
In spite
that lip-gloss was created in the early 30s of the previous century, it got to
compete with the lipstick recently. Lip-gloss found its way to hearts of
millions of women due to natural look and sheer makeup trends so popular for
many seasons. Apart from its designation to add sensitivity to lips, lip-gloss
shows natural look of tender skin and the greasy base hides lip wrinkles
successfully.
Eye shadows
Structure of
eye shadows has been also changed. They used to come as powder substance to
apply the upper eyelid to the brow line, especially in the epoch of hippies and
disco of 80s. now the shadow palette is diluted with warmer beige, brown and
pink hues with glittering effect, compact and liquid. Eye shadows can be used
as rouges as well as brow liner. The news in cosmetic industry is the eye
shadow with the silicon particles that saturate the colors and shades apart
from being stable.
Protective cosmetic
products
The cosmetic
products with protective features are offered today to protect from hazardous radiation
and adverse effect of environmental factors. Thus, Dessange manufactures a
whole series of cosmetic products with sun screen filters as powder, rouges,
lip-gloss and eye shadows.
However,
modern trendy makeup is not only natural look and pastel shades. Lips are stillaccentuated,
lots of gloss and glitter are applied. Though, today healthy cosmetic products are
more preferred when the look is ideal and the skin improves, on the top of it. The
only factor is pricing range. Not surprising that the healthier and better is
the product, the more expensive it is. And this is the rule to master by any
woman – we should invest in our beauty to value it later.
