The history of makeup goes back to ancient Greece and Rome when the people would use powder and color to make themselves appear less noticeable. The popularity of cosmetics has led to designers creating their own perfume lines. Some actors and singers even have their own brands. The top designer perfumes are the most expensive products in the industry. Giorgio Armani and Dolce & Gabbana are among the most famous names in this field. CoverGirl and Dolce & Gabbana also produce perfumes. Procter & Gamble, the company that makes CoverGirl and Dolce and Gabbana cosmetics, has funded a study on the impact of cosmetics on women's self-esteem.
Modern makeup has evolved a great deal since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians used a variety of plants and minerals, along with oils, to protect their skin from the Sun. Japan and China people used rice powder to create their look, and people painted their fingernails. Different colored fingernails were often used to indicate social status. Some ancient Greek women painted their cheeks with white lead, while others applied crushed berries to create a natural, healthy look. Some even wore fake eyebrows made from oxen hair.
Another important aspect of makeup is that it can affect a woman's relationships. Straight men and women alike look at women's makeup and personality to determine which ones they like best. In addition, women who wear makeup tend to be perceived as more promiscuous and dominant. Using bolder and more vibrant colors can also be sexier. It's all about what you like. A little bit of mascara and lip balm doesn't hurt either.
