Makeup all began with the Egyptians, both sexes used makeup because of aesthetic and therapeutic reasons.” The earliest historical record of makeup comes from the 1st Dynasty of Egypt (c.3100-2907 BC). Romans widely used cosmetics by the middle of the 1st century AD”. There makeup was mostly used by men and women to keep their skin hydrated and safes and to avoid wrinkles from the dry heat. The women of Egypt also decorated their eyes by applying dark green color to the under and on top of the lid and blackening with kohl, which was made from antimony. It started to evolve around Europe, in Greco-Roman women wore white lead and chalk on their faces. During the Regency era, the most important item was rouge, which was most used by everyone. At that time, eyebrows were blackened and hair was dyed so they can look younger and get men to notice them. Most of the makeup recipes where made of herbs, flowers, fat, brandy, vegetables, spring water and, of course, crushed strawberries. At the time white skin signified a life of leisure. And skin exposed to the sun indicated a life of outdoor labor. In order to maintain a pale skin, women wore bonnets and carried parasols, and covered all visible parts of their bodies. Women used henna dyes to stain their hair and faces. During the European Middle Ages, pale skin was a sign of wealth which helped them get married.
