MAKEUP AND WOMAN

Makeup is a subset of cosmetics that refers primarily to products containing color pigments that are intended to alter the user's appearance.

It is meant to be applied externally on the face and eye area with a brush, makeup sponge, or the fingers.

Around 5,000 years ago, ancient Sumerian men and women were the first to wear and probably invented  lipstick.  Sumerian crushed gemstones and used them to decorate their faces, mainly on the lips and around the eyes.

By 3000 BC to 1500 BC, women in ancient Indus Valley Civilization applied red tinted lipstick to their lips for face decoration.

An English excavator discover a 6000 year old relics of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs wearing organic substances to decorate his face.

By the time Cleopatra, the Queen of Egypt came to power in first century BC,  Egyptian women had at their disposal an array of colorful cosmetics, which were made from rocks, minerals and plants found in the Nile region.

Cleopatra used the following materials such as:

~  bright green malachite paste of the ancient Egyptian on her lower eyelids,

~  Kohl used on her eyes as protection and decoration,

~  Castor oil used on her body as protective balm,

~  Beeswax, olive oil and rosewater as her skin cream.

The role of cosmetics continued to evolve over the centuries.

Here are some words that describe Makeup and it's effect to all women:

Makeup should never be used to hide yourself.

It should be used to enhance your natural beauty.

May your foundation match your neck,

Concealer be creaseless,

and winged eyeliner be sharp enough to kill.

Amen!

Makeup is used to highlight your face,

Not to hide it.

Makeup is not a mask.

Makeup is art.

Makeup is passion.

Makeup is expression.

If your sad, add more lipstick and attack!

(Coco Chanel)

On  a bad day there is always lipstick.

Makeup is not a tool meant to make

an ugly thing beautiful.

It is meant only to magnify the beauty

that already exists.

I believe that all women are pretty without makeup

and can be pretty powerful with the right makeup.

(Bobbi Brown)

Makeup is self-confidence applied directly to the face.

I wear makeup only to impress myself and say,

"damn bitch you looking fabulous today."

Yes, I wear makeup.

No, It isn't because I think I'm ugly!

Your makeup should never precede you,

but walk with you.

(Estee Lauder)

Why are you so dolled up?

You're not going to a fashion show.

The world is my runway!

Now, if you'll please,

Excuse me.

When you haven't worn makeup in a week

and you put on mascara and you'll like...

Move over Beyoncé...Mama's Back!

That's one of the thing I love about makeup,

You can change your whole attitude by just

doing your eyeliner or lipstick differently.

(Beyoncé)

Whether you are sixteen or over sixty, remember,

understatement is the rule of a fine makeup artist.

The best thing is to look natural,

But

It takes makeup to look natural.

Beauty is power, and makeup is something

that really enhances that;

It's a woman's secret.

Makeup is a way for a woman to look and feel like herself,

only prettier and more confident.

(Bobbi Brown)

Beauty to me is about being comfortable 

in your own skin.

That, or a kick-ass red lipstick.

(Gwyneth Paltrow)

Give a girl the right makeup and she can conquer the world!

Put on some lipstick and pull yourself together.

(Elizabeth Taylor)

Lipstick is really magical.  It holds more than a 

waxy bit of color - it holds the promise of a

brilliant smile, a brilliant day,

both literally and figuratively.

(Roberta Gately - Humanitarian & Writer)

Red lipstick is to beauty what the 

LBD is to fashion.  The difference is that

when you walk into a room wearing a red lip,

that people will notice you.

(Francois Nars.)

Makeup can help you be yourself.

It's not about making you become

a different person -

It's about making you look better.

(Francois Nars)

She has a way with words, red lipstick

and making an entrance.

(Kate Spate)
