At the time spent in the history of mineral makeup

Mineral makeup does not appear out of nothing or only a recent discovery. Although mineral makeup not yet mass-produced, is becoming increasingly popular among women. Given that most people now are paying much more attention their consumption of chemicals and their effects on the body, there is now a trend for healthy lifestyle.

In fact, the demand for minerals can be traced in historical time of the Egyptians. The Egyptians are proud of their appearance. In order to move their gods, to be beautiful.

What kind of ore used for your cosmetics?

Your eye makeup is composed mainly of malachite green and copper ore Kohl. Galena is also used for the eyes. This eye makeup has also served as protectors of the eyes from the hot rays of the sun and reflection in the desert. Her lips would be red of red ocher. A mineral similar are used to color the cheeks. Each mineral used come from a different place. Malachite came from the Nile Valley, while the galena came from Upper Egypt and Red Sea.

The Egyptians also believe that cosmetics are not the only way to reach more of spirituality, are also used for practical reasons. Malachite and galena are both used as eye protection. While there are others used for their ability to repel insects and help the body adapt to climate change. Apart from this, the Egyptians believed that makeup Black history can lead spirits to cast out demons.

Romans do not have the physical appearance associated with their religious beliefs. But they made use of makeup and lipstick and blush for cheeks.

History Greeks also made use of mineral makeup, because they wanted closer to the gods. In Greece, women who belong to the upper class historical rarely exposed to the sun. This is why women with pale skin are highly valued, so began to wear makeup to create the pale skin.

Greek Ladies using honey and olive oil to maintain skin hydration. Olive oil also is a component of its value in the eyes of beauty with coal. red lips are a mixture of beeswax and Redding. This lipstick evolved in the early ocher clay and iron red, so that this time harder and easier to use for lips

Inside the east, Chinese and Japanese also have to disguise their faces were. Japanese geishas painted their faces white and put forward their eyebrows with charcoal. Certainly, this was not true just in Asia. In Europe, the aristocrats would put powder on their faces. The idea is that this will separate them in frequency, the working class.

The 19th century marked an alternative approach to cosmetics. As the pale is a symptom of aristocracy, more men and women try to look pale. Using carbonate hydroxide, which, unfortunately, has negative effects on physical health and toxic. Later, the zinc oxide replaced the toxic substance.

Except for the distinction of classes, make-up has begun to be used to look younger. This allowed them to cheat people of their true age. paper dust became famous. They have been used for similar purposes in the dust, of course, were put into service to get rid of the light.

World War II slowed the development and manufacture of makeup. Now there is much more serious than all these things. But after the war, the company began to recover and cosmetic never looked back. A growing number of women and men began to buy cosmetics to increase and strengthen their physical characteristics.

During the 1970s, a trend towards the replacement began to materialize. Mineral makeup is pure mineral purposes have been applied to the face right. The mineral cosmetic procedure has not been subjected to chemical injection products chemicals and preservatives. Until now, this market continues to grow.
