Ancient Egypt

The most popular choices included dark colors on your eyes to fend off evil and a mixture for the original kohl eyeliner (made from a mix of anything from lead to ash, copper or even burnt almonds). Despite their religious motivations, many Egyptians quickly noticed the power of makeup over mere mortals as well. Before long it had reached other civilizations as a way to impress the opposite sex.

 

Ancient Romans

Romans were much more inclined to choose a natural look with simple rouge and lip colors to provide a healthy flush.

 

16th Century

Queen Elizabeth I was one of the first role models for wearing makeup. She popularized a stark white face that was easily achieved with a potent powder. This marked the beginning of more chemically based makeups that proved toxic. The mixture included white lead powder, water and vinegar. Frequent use caused the skin to whither which lead to applying more and more powder.

19th Century

In the battle for equal recognition and the right to vote women donned red lipstick for a 1913 protest march. It marked the first time women had turned makeup into a symbol of empowerment and used it for their own goals. This was also the decade that saw the creation of major brand Max Factor. Established in Los Angeles in 1904 it began as a company exclusively for film makeup.
