History
"A woman without paint is like food without salt."- Roman philosopher, Plautus

10,000 BC:

4000 BC:

Men and women in Egypt use scented oils and ointments to clean and soften
their skin and mask body odor. Cosmetics are an integral part of Egyptian
hygiene and health. Oils and creams are used for protection against the hot
Egyptian sun and dry winds. Myrrh, thyme, marjoram, chamomile, lavender, lily,
peppermint, rosemary, cedar, rose, aloe, olive oil, sesame oil, and almond oil
provide the basic ingredients of most perfumes that Egyptians use in religious
ritual.

Egyptian women apply galena mesdemet (made of copper and lead ore) and
malachite (bright green paste of copper minerals) to their faces for color and
definition. They employ a combination of burnt almonds, oxidized copper,
different-colored coppers ores, lead, ash, and ochre -- together called kohl -- to
adorn the eyes in an almond shape. Women carry cosmetics to parties in
makeup boxes and keep them under their chairs.

3000 BC:

Chinese people began to stain their fingernails with gum arabic, gelatin,
beeswax, and egg. The colors used represent social class: Chou dynasty royals

wear gold and silver, with subsequent royals wearing black or red. Lower classes
are forbidden to wear bright colors on their nails.

1500 BC:

Grecians whiten their complexion with chalk or lead face powder and fashion
crude lipstick out of ochre clays laced with red iron.

1500 BC:

Chinese and Japanese citizens commonly use rice powder to make their faces
white. Eyebrows are shaved off, teeth painted gold or black and henna dyes
applied to stain hair and faces.

1000 BC:

Grecian women paint their faces with white lead and apply crushed mulberries as
rouge. The application of fake eyebrows, often made of oxen hair, is also
fashionable.

Early cosmetics

100 AD:

In Rome, people put barley flour and butter on their pimples and sheep fat and
blood on their fingernails for polish. In addition, mud baths come into vogue, and
some Roman men dye their hair blond.

300-400 AD:

Henna is used in India as a hair dye and in mehndi, an art form in which complex
designs are painted on to the hands and feet, especially before a Hindu wedding.
Henna is also used in some North African cultures.

Cosmetics in the middle ages

1200 AD:

As a result of the Crusades, perfumes are first imported to Europe from the
Middle East.

1300 AD:

In Elizabethan England, dyed red hair comes into fashion. Society women wear
egg whites over their faces to create the appearance of a paler complexion. Yet,
some thought cosmetics blocked proper circulation and therefore posed a health
threat.

Renaissance cosmetics

1400 - 1500 AD:

In Europe, only the aristocracy use cosmetics, with Italy and France emerging as
the main centers of cosmetics manufacturing. Arsenic is sometimes used in face
powder instead of lead.

The modern notion of complex scent-making evolves in France. Early fragrances


are amalgams of naturally occurring ingredients. Later, chemical processes for
combining and testing scents supersede their arduous and labor-intensive
predecessors.

1500-1600 AD:

European women often attempt to lighten their skin using a variety of products,
including white lead paint. Queen Elizabeth I of England was one well-known
user of white lead, with which she created a look known as "the Mask of Youth."
Blonde hair rises in popularity as it is considered angelic. Mixtures of black
sulphur, alum, and honey were painted onto the hair and left to work in the sun.

19th and early 20th century cosmetics

1800 AD:

Zinc oxide becomes widely used as a facial powder, replacing the previously
used deadly mixtures of lead and copper. One such mixture, Ceruse, made from
white lead, is later discovered to be toxic and blamed for physical problems
including facial tremors, muscle paralysis, and even death.

Queen Victoria publicly declares makeup improper. It is viewed as vulgar and


acceptable only for use by actors.

1900 AD:

In Edwardian Society, pressure increases on middle-aged women to appear as


young as possible while acting as hostesses. Increased, but not completely
open, cosmetic use is a popular method of achieving this goal.

Beauty salons increase in popularity, though patronage of such salons is not


necessarily accepted. Because many women are loathe to admit that they

needed assistance to look young, they often entered salons through the back
door.

In recent years, consumers have been spending higher levels of disposable income on
cosmetics than they had in the past. Unfortunately, the global financial crisis has put a damper
on the market and during those years, more affordably priced merchandise and do it yourself at
home products were key in the beauty market. Although there are some exceptions, generally
speaking, for all products the higher the household income, the higher the spending
percentages. However, in recent years as Generation Y has really entered the job market, they
have become a big driver of the cosmetics market in the United States. There also seems to be
an increased interest in natural and organic beauty products particularly in the United States
and Europe and worldwide sales were $9 billion and projected to bet $14 billion by 2015
according to Organic Monitor.
Some manufacturers like Aveda, The Body Shop, and M A C have their own stores but most
products are sold in drug stores or department stores. Drug stores sell typical consumer brands
like Boots, Botanics, L'Oreal, MAX Factor, Cover Girl, Maybelline, etc. Sometimes stores sell
their own or an exclusive brand, such as Sonia Kashuk, sold by Target. For more "upscale"
products, department stores sell from manufacturers like Clinique, Prescriptives, Lancme, etc.
