The Importance Of Make Up

Make up has been around foe several centuries already. Among the more notable people to wear these beauty enhancers are the Egyptians. In fact the first known historical record of using cosmetics to enhance beauty or parts of the face and body was in Egypt during the First Dynasty around the years 3100 – 2907 BC. Make up back then was just the simple eye coloring that is reminiscent of most Egyptians paintings where the eyes are colored with kohl and other elements and substances. During that time, Egyptians were also very much aware of the effects of the harsh sun on their skin and they already have a sort of lotion to keep their skin moisturized and supple.

Make up eventually evolved from the Egyptian kohl to the French rouge, which was used to make the lips red and the cheeks blush. Today, make up plays a vital role for both men and women everywhere. There are many products that are produced to be organic or hypoallergenic in order to meet the demands of the many cosmetics users.

Uses Of Make Up

Most people use make up to enhance and beautify. This is usually the most common use of make up there is and the most prevalent. Other uses of make up include covering up scars and deformities that can be debilitating. Although it is of the same purpose as a beauty aid, this use helps build up the self esteem and confidence of an individual.

Make up is also need in certain jobs and professions mostly centered in the show business industry. Being under harsh lights and the constant glare of camera flashes has prompted many show business personalities to arm themselves with make up instead of appearing in unfavorable conditions and disappointing their fans. Since their appearance is one of their most valuable assets, they must make every endeavor to appear as the fans want them to appear.

Other use of make up that has just recently surfaced is as sun protection. Many manufacturers of beauty products and cosmetics have accommodated the need of most people to protect themselves and their skin from the rays of the sun. This is a great development because before, sun protection and make up were quite difficult to blend together.

Today cosmetics play a great role in everyday life and the industry generates several billion dollars in products and income. It has become an everyday tool to make men and women more presentable.
