Mineral Makeup History
Mineral makeup did not just appear out of nowhere or is just a recent discovery. Although, mineral makeup is still not manufactured, it is increasingly getting popular among women. Since most people presently are paying more attention to their chemical intake and its effects on the body, there is now a trend on healthy lifestyle.
Actually, the employment of minerals can be traced back into the time of ancient Egyptians. Egyptians take pride on their appearance. For them to be close to their gods, they ought to be beautiful.
What kind of mineral do they use for their makeup?
Their eye makeup was mostly consisted of malachite, green ore of copper and kohl. Galena is also employed for the eyes. This eye makeup also served as eye protectors from the hot and reflective rays of sunshine in the desert. Their red lips would come from the red ochre. The identical minerals are employed for giving color to the cheeks. Each mineral used would come from somewhere else. Malachite came from the Nile valley, while galena would come from upper Egypt and the Red Sea.
Early Egyptians also thought that makeup is not only means of attaining higher spirituality, they are, in addition used for practical reasons. Malachite and galena are both used as eye protectors. While there are others used for their ability to repel insects and assist the body adjust to climate changes. Except for this, ancient Egyptians thought that black makeup can drive evil sprits away.
Romans didn’t associate looks to their religious beliefs. But they were already using makeup like lipstick and blush for the cheeks.
Ancient Greeks also used mineral makeup because they wanted to be close to the gods. In Greece, ancient women who belong in the high class rarely go out and become exposed to the sun. That is why women with pale skin are regarded highly, so they began using makeup to make the skin appear pale.
Greek women would use honey and olive oil to have their skin’s moisture. Olive oil is in addition an element of their eye enhancement make-up in addition to charcoal. Lipstick are from mixture of redding and bees wax. This primitive lipstick evolved in ochre clay and red iron, making it a small amount harder and a better to put on to their lips
In the east, Chinese and Japanese were likewise applying makeup to their faces. Japanese geisha would paint their faces white and outline their eyebrows with charcoal. Actually, this didn’t happen in Asia only. In Europe, aristocrats would put powders in their faces. The idea is that this would separate them from the frequent, working class.
The 19th century signalled a different approach to make up. Since pale complexion is a signal of aristocracy, more males and females are attempting to look pale. They would use hydroxide carbonate which unfortunately, has negative and toxic issues with the body. Later , zinc oxide replaced the toxic substance.
Apart from class distinction, makeup was started to be employed to get a younger look. This helped them deceive persons of their true age. Powdered paper became popular. They were employed with an identical function of current powders, they were used to remove the shine.
World War II slowed the manufacturing and increase in makeup. There are more significant things that these matters. But after the war, the cosmetic industry started to recover and never looked back. Increasing numbers of women, and also men, started to purchase make up to raise and enhance their physical features.
During the 1970s, a different trend started to materialize. Mineral makeup which consists pure and fine minerals were applied straight to the face. This mineral makeup didn’t go through any chemical process which would inject chemical substances and preservatives. Till now, this industry is continually growing.
