A Brief History of Cosmetics



          People have always wanted to look good, and the use of cosmetics goes back to ancient times. Interestingly, in the past, it was common for both women and men to use cosmetics.

          In ancient Egypt, black kohl was commonly used as an eyeliner, and olive oil was used as a moisturizer. The ancient Romans used butter to take care of pimples.

          During the Middle Ages, women in Europe painted their faces white. Women in some countries in Asia also painted their faces white, using a rice powder paint.

          In the years that followed, women in Europe came up with a unique way to get rid of wrinkles: they slept with raw beef on their faces.

          Today, cosmetics remain as popular as ever; it is estimated that people spend around US$ 65 billion on cosmetics each year.

           If using cosmetics cause you are beautiful. Are you like to use cosmetic?
