Make up is a big part of the lives of many women. Not only
because it somewhat transforms you but it also let women express their
creativity. If you search online there are literally millions of blogs and
vlogs that discuss make up and how to use it. Make up has literally transcended
from what it used to be. Now there are whole television shows that are all
about makeup and the artist. Makeup trends are constantly changing. In
order to understand these changes in trends in cosmetics it is important to
take a look into the evolution of makeup itself. “Women and men have been
wearing cosmetics for centuries, although the styles have certainly undergone
some dramatic changes over time.”
Makeup can date back to
Egyptian times for males and females. “The earliest historical record of makeup
comes from the 1st Dynasty of Egypt (c.3100-2907 BC). Tombs from this era have
revealed unguent jars, which in later periods were scented. Unguent was a
substance extensively used by men and women to keep their skin hydrated and
supple and to avoid wrinkles from the dry heat. The women of Egypt also
decorated their eyes by applying dark green color to the under lid and
blackening the lashes and the upper lid with kohl, which was made from antimony
(a metallic element) or soot. It is believed that the Jews adopted the use of
makeup from the Egyptians, since references to the painting of faces appear in
the New Testament section of the Bible.”
More than anything
makeup is trending because that is what our idols really focus in on. People
like Kylie Jenner or even J Lo make a good living off of makeup. So of course
it is only natural for us to want to join in. Along with that in my personal
opinion make up is fun. It is almost like an adult dress up time. Make up will
continue to trend in pop culture as long as there are new tricks and fun things
that come along with it. If you were to check the web each day for new tip
hacks and fun for makeup you would be sure to find over twenty each time. The
power of makeup is obviously is very strong and I think that is why people are
so hooked on especially the stars that are always in the spotlight.
