We all know that cosmetics existed thousands of years ago. Cleopatra used a heavy arsenal of beauty aids to help her shake the foundations of the Roman Empire. Yes, cosmetics and perfumes have a long history, but the consumer industry we live in is relatively recent, a creation of the decades 1890 through 1920. The products hawked in the 19th Century by druggists, perfumers, barbers, physicians, and a colorful assortment of other enterprising individuals were primitive by our standards. Certainly, active ingredients were used with abandon, notably arsenic, lead, and mercury. These were products that really made visible differences, and the consumer was well-advised to be wary of the majority of these mysterious concoctions.
The hidden ingredients in most lipsticks are Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Retinyl Palmitate, D&C Red 36, D&C Red 22 Aluminum Lake, and Tocopheryl Acetate. Most of these harsh chemicals all have an effect of cancer or helps develop some form of disease. This is why most companies do not disclose this piece of information on its label, because they are afraid people will not purchase the object if they knew the effects of the harsh chemicals.
Even if I am not using makeup at all, I am still applying a concealer under my eyes. I am constantly working on computer, drink a lot of coffee, don’t sleep enough, and wear contacts. All of those bad habits show up on my face and require attention even during my best skin days. In addition, my skin is very dry and under eyes area is not an exception. Thus, I always make sure to use a concealer that not only covers the circles, but also hydrates my skin. Also, as I am getting older I am making sure to apply a good moisturizer for under eyes area twice a day so concealer is not caking under eyes.
Before being able to actually apply the make up, the first thing is to get your products and then skin ready for the process. Start off by taking out all of the basic make-up needed :concelor, foundation, powder, make-up sponge, lipstick, lip gloss, eyeliner (liquid or pencil), mascara, hair tie, as well as face wash and face moisturizer. After everything is laid out in front of you, start with washing your face with the face wash, then dry your face off and apply face moisturizer. Afterwards, take the hair tie and pull of you hair back ( if needed use hair clips to pull your bangs back), this will prevent the hair from getting in the way and will allow you to see your entire face when applying foundation and powder. Finally once the moisturizer is fully absorbed and your face is completely dry, you are ready to begin applying the make-up.
[Pause] Makeup has always made me feel so happy and brings me joy, and I don't think it is right to look down on anything that brings anyone joy - unless it is illegal of course. [Pause] The important realization about makeup is that no individual needs it. In my teens, I developed an unhealthy relationship with cosmetics. I viewed makeup as a mask because I had such bad redness on my face. Today, at aged 20, I don't use makeup as a mask, but I definitely like to wear liquid foundation. I usually use "Kat Von D Foundation" **shows foundation to class* because it has really good coverage and works great for sensitive skin like mine. Foundation also gives me that "airbrush" effect and it is genuinely a huge confidence boost. After the foundation, I put concealer under my eyes, which is the "Maybelline Fit Me Concealer" **shows class the concealer**. Concealer is a type of foundation that conceals and gets rid of dark under-eye circles. You all can't see them right now on my face thanks to this lovely concealer but trust me… the circles are there. There is some sort of psychology involved here, because when I conceal my dark circles,

According to a team of researchers who conducted a study on the relationship between exposure to phthalates and DNA damage on human sperm, “cosmetics frequently contain enhancers that allow ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. Studies have found health problems in people exposed to common fragrance and sunscreen ingredients, including increased risk of sperm damage, feminization of the male reproductive system and low birth weight in girls” (Duty et al. 1164).
