Throughout the years make up has become an important role in the women industry .Many women want to enhance beauty and feel good about themselves.Wearing makeup is now more common than what it was i the 1900’s very common in all over the world. Many women go for that more natural effect on their faces,Meanwhile other women go for a dramatic look just as smokey eyes using dark eyeshadows on their eyes but many women like to be more creative and use many colorful colors such as green ,yellow,orange, and hot pink.Some women might just add a little color to their lips. Over the years Make up has developed in many ways one way is that now they use safer ingredients that you can apply.Make up in the 1920’s was not well developed.Many women put themselves in health risk but money didn't know , women would often make their own makeup products at home.Those who made their makeup at home would often break out for not using safe ingredients.Women were not aware enough that the product that they would make are dangerous and could have lead to an infection, Some women didn't have the money to buy products, women had rashes,scars …show more content…
But those women who did have the money to buy them had very few elections. Some products women made where chalky to white for their skin but in the 1900’s looking pale would look good in them and powders where also to light for their skin tone.Now 2018 has more certified make up. The makeup industry has changed we are more aware of what the products contain when we go out and buy them. The looks in the 1900’s that women would go for where for more daring women they would go for black eyeshadows smudged,the eyebrows would be drawn downwards,the lips smaller than their natural lips.Eyeshadows where applied with their fingers lightly on the skin.For some women that had blue eyes would go for more green or blue
As Talia Felix points out, a cultural disparity exists between our perception of makeup in the Roaring Twenties, and the ordinary look of the day. Our perception of the era relies heavily on the pictures and products of the stars and celebrities of the day. While icons like Louise Brooks and Clara Bow often had a face full of dramatic makeup, ordinary
Just like this campaign for safe cosmetics its purpose has been to aware women, parents, workers and everyone who is affected by this problem of what big corporations are putting in the products we think are non-harmful. The title itself Chemicals in Beauty Products: The Story of Cosmetics is automatically supposed to draw women’s attention because of the words “chemicals” and “cosmetics”. Since this film was originally put on The Story of Stuff, a website for a variety of campaigns, we can assume this film was made for people who care and want to change the world to make it healthier. In addition, it also targets women who are interested in what they are putting on their bodies. Interesting enough, this video was released the same time the Safe Cosmetics Act of 2010 was introduced for the purpose of pursuing women, workers, and everyone affected by this chemical problem, to push congress even more to enforce this cosmetic act to be passed. The underlying purpose the producers of the film wanted from its viewers was to have them help get congress to ban all corporations from using hazardous chemicals in beauty products. Some strategies used to help their goal was to use logos and pathos to help evoke its audience to ultimately help put a stop to this problem once and for
Women of the 1920's Women during the 1920's lifestyle, fashion, and morals were very different than women before the 1920's. Flappers became the new big thing after the 19th amendment was passed. Women's morals were loosened, clothing and haircuts got shorter, and fashion had a huge role in these young women. Women before the 1920's were very different from the women of the Roarin' 20's. Gwen Hoerr Jordan stated that the ladies before the 1920's wore dresses that covered up most of their skin, had pinned up long hair, were very modest, had chaperones and had men make all of their decisions (1).
Showing off your body was the new trend of the ‘20s. Flappers of the 1920 era started wearing shorter dresses and sleeveless tops to seem keener. Before the 1920’s, it was rare for women to even show their ankles let alone their knees. Not only did women start to wear “skimpier” clothing, but they also garnished themselves with accessories. It was all about that bling. Girls were obsessed with pearls, diamonds, and just about anything that looked expensive. They hated cheap dull accessories and wanted the real McCoy. Clothing was not the only change during this time. The way women did their hair and makeup changed. Flappers started wearing a lot of makeup and styling their hair differently. “Flappers raised their hemlines, bobbed their hair, and applied make up with abandon.” (Armburst, Lloyd) No one wanted to be considered a bug-eyed Betty, and they did whatever it took to make themselves more alluring. This new style of women was the bee’s
The origin of makeup dates back to 3100 BC, throughout the first egyptian dynasty. Many Egyptians used unguent, rouge, henna, eyeshadow eyebrow eyelash enhancements, and blue and liquid gold. Unguent is a soft grease that was used as an ointment to get rid of wrinkles. Rouge which is a red colored talc-based powder used to give lips and cheeks a pink or red tint, to give nails a red tint a dye called henna was used. Eyeshadow was applied to both top and bottoms eyelids, the main color used was green because it symbolizes fresh growth, vegetation, new life, and resurrection. Eyelash and brow enhancements were used to make them appear darker and were made of carbon, black oxides and other materials which were usually toxic. Blue paint was used to trace the veins in their temples and breasts and then they tipped their nipples with liquid gold. The romans also did many things to change their appearance, using henna, pastes, chalk, white lead, and pumice stone. Henna dyes were used to make hair darker. Pastes created from narcissus, lentils, honey, wheat, and eggs to get a paler complexion, chalk and white lead was used for this as well. Pumice stone was used as a teeth whitener by men and women, they would take the stone and rub it against their teeth.
“The women know that life must go on and that the needs of life must be met and it is their courage and determination which, time and again, have pulled us through worse crisis than the present one.” This famous quote, said by Eleanor Roosevelt states how powerful women are especially in the time of need (Ware). Eleanor Roosevelt said this during the time of the Great Depression at an all woman's press conference which is a very big deal during this time era. The role of women changed in many ways during the 1930’s.
Cosmetics are a subset of cosmetics is called "make-up", refers primarily to products containing color pigments that are intended to alter the user's appearance. Manufacturers may distinguish between decorative and care cosmetics. Most are meant to reduce the appearance of pore size, prolong the wear of makeup, and allow for a smoother application of makeup. Lipsticks are intended to add color and texture to the lips and often come in a wide range of colors, as well as finishes such as matte, satin, and lustre. Lip stains have a water or gel base and may contain alcohol to help the product stay on leaving a matte look. The Demographic of Cosmetologies is a profession, cosmetology is predominantly female, most of whom are of reproductive ageThere are more than one million women registered and licensed as cosmetologists in the United States and roughly several million more work as hairdressers. Cosmetologists, hairdressers and nail technicians make up a large part of the
The transition to modern consumerism involved not just the introduction of responsible product formulation, but fundamental transformations of social behavior. Women were at the heart of this development in the cosmetic industry, and we will consider the contributions of two of them: Annie Turnbo Malone and Madame C. J. Walker. These women and their contemporaries paved the way for Estee Lauder and Mary Kay Ash in our time.
Make up has been around for about 12 thousand years. Woman use makeup to make them look more beautiful, woman now and back that weren’t happy with their natural beauty so they chose to event or come up with something that would make them beautiful. Woman got the idea that they would use some things form nature that they found and smashed it or do something to but on their face.

In this paper making to talk about the different make up their development of each. Some of the makeup history that I’m going to talk about are lipstick, mascara, eye liner, Eye shadow, body painting and a little about nail polish. I’m also going to talk about who wear makeup. I am going to explain why they wear makeup and what it meant to wear makeup.
In the early 1900’s the ideal woman would be dressed with long dresses and would normally have long hair. Several events such as World War I, in July of 1914, changed women’s role in society. They were not only taking care of the children and the household but they were also taking the role of a man. As men went to war, women replaced them in factories. This caused woman to be more independent. Women realized that having a job was something that could be done; their sex didn’t restrict them from taking this action. This was extremely important as it lead to women being more confident and capable. In the 1920s young women began to change. They went from having long dresses and long hair, to a short haircut and wearing dresses that were above the knee. Women developed a greater interest in looking attractive. According to Russell L. Johnson, the beauty industry grew rapidly as cosmetic expenses sky rocketed from 750 million to 2 billion dollars (Johnson 3). This was one of the causes of the sexual revolution. Women became “ less formal but more expressive (Mag...
During the early stages of the Industrial Revolution, the role of working-class women became a burden to what one would call British National Identity. As one can note from Deborah Valenze’s book The First Industrial Woman, women who began to work in order to support their families were seen as a masculine because they would dress showing more skin. The new evolving identity of working class women became criticized not only by men but also by women of higher economic status. This would eventually lead to the first feminist wave in Britain from 1848 through 1920. This new wave in Britain was a reaction to the way working women had been put down by British society in the earlier period of the Industrial Revolution. Therefore, the ‘gentle lady’ of the Victorian Age became unacceptable, the role that domesticity was the right role to be played by women became a critique. The suffrage movement in many ways led women to embrace a new form of ‘masculinity’ in clothing. The working class woman’s ‘masculinity’ became one to be praised. One can begin to see this at the end of First Feminist wave in the 1920s when the flapper style became the new fashion. Society in Britain had become one of man v. woman, and women retaliated through fashion by adapting masculine style clothing to cover their curvaceous figures. Nevertheless, the Second World War’s impact on society brought with it a new ideology of Britain v. the outside enemy, which brought a revitalization of traditional women roles illustrated by the clothing. The following is an analysis on women’s clothing post the First World War and through the Second World War.
As we look around at our women in today’s era, we might ask how did she become so independent, successful, and confidant? Even when I look at my own my mom, she was hired as the first woman to work as a manager at a fortune 500 business, and then created her own business. As well as my friends’ mom, who also has her own business in psychology; accomplishments like these must have originated from somewhere. The answer lies in the 1920’s. A couple years earlier, World War I was waging havoc, killing many men, while allowing women more freedom. The effects of World War I gave birth to the new women, also known as the Flappers, and inspiration for the 19th amendment. The flappers stirred up traditions and launched a new way of living. It soon became very apparent that the new women of the 1920’s helped redefine the social norms of society.
World War 1 was a time filled with trauma, despair, and hardships. Women had limited freedoms such as being able to vote, being confined at home, and having less than half of the rights men were able to have.
As part of our culture, while growing up boys and girls are expected to learn the basic skills to fulfill the "roles of their gender." For boys this includes learning all of the the routine maintenance on a car, to work out and be stronger then the girls, and are usually expected to be better with electronics. While at the same time girls are steered towards learning how to cook, clean, and look pretty. All of the female roles require a lot of practice and trial and error before they can be mastered, but the hardest and most time consuming skill to be learned still remains applying make-up. Just as anything else (even writing an essay) the finished product always seems so simple and easy enough to be done by a child in a few minutes. Although, in reality girls spend years doing trial and error to find out what looks good on them and a few more years making it look "natural." This is necessary for every girl go through on her own, to be able to have her own look. However, there is a routine make-up application process that will help any beginning girl with he basics.
The things we do in these generations are nothing compared to what women did for beauty back in the day. For example, to remove unwanted hair from the 14th through the middle of the 17th centuries, women used quicklime...aka that stuff that gangs use to dissolve bodies! It's hard to believe, but being pale has been all the rage throughout history - until this century. And women did everything they could to make their skin a lovely white shade, the things they did too make...
