A Brief History of Cosmetics
"A Women without Paint, is like a food without salt." Roman Philosopher, Plautus
Make-up began as a form of ornamentation in early cultures. It was predominantly seen in the Egyptians in Eye Make-up, used to keep dust and flies out of the eyes. From, there it became a symbol of your status in society. Women would put leeches on their skin in order to make themselves pale and use arsenic (a main ingredient in rat poison) to stain their lips a dark orange. In the early days, it was quite dangerous to wear makeup and was reserved for the elite and for actors and preformers as a symbol of status.
Cosmetics evolved over the course of history from practicality to the idea that make "enhances beauty". There is an obsession in our current culture with cosmetics. There is a general feeling that cosmetics enhance your confidence and make you look and feel better. Many women even link their daily successes to use of make-up.In 2007, a graduate student at Hanover College named Sarah Scott, researched the influence of comestics on every day anxiety. She proved there was a link between the anxiety you feel at any given situation and type of make-up you are wearing. Her thesis report can be found here:http://psych.hanover.edu/research/Thesis07/ScottPaper.pdf
In todays cosmetics, there many harmful chemicals lurking as well. It is important when buying cosmetics to look at the contents. Many lipstains or skin stains have arsenic or other harmful poisons that exposure over a long time can cause serious health concerns. To this day many cosmetics are not regulated by the goverment so it is important to know what you are putting on your face. sources:http://www.make-upusa.com/articles/cosmetichistory.htmhttp://www.cosmeticsinfo.org/history3.phphttp://www.cyonic-nemeton.com/Cosmetics.htmlhttp://www.localhistories.org/cosmetics.htmlhttp://www.webmd.com/skin-beauty/guide/history-makeuphttp://www.makeup-artist-world.com/historyofmakeup.htmhttp://psych.hanover.edu/research/Thesis07/ScottPaper.pdfhttp://kids-safety-products.suite101.com/article.cfm/protecting_girls_from_harmful_cosmetics

About Make Up Make Believe
Make up Make Believe is an idea founded around self image in women. Many women wear make up to hide their insecurities. Here at Make Up Make Believe don't want you to stop wearing cosmetics, but rather start wearing them for the right reasons.
It is okay to wear make-up to enhance your features. It is true that a touch of dark eye shadow makes light blue eyes pop, but don't take the too far. Before applying make-up it should be a general rule to figure out the reason you are putting that make-up on. Are you doing it for yourself or are you doing it for someone else?
