Before makeup, women used strange methods to enhance their natural beauty. They would use burnt matches to darken their eyes, berries to color their lips, and boys’ pee to fade their freckles. That’s not it either, they would ingest ox blood and put leeches on their face because they believed those methods improved their skin by making them paler (Wheatley).
In a woman’s lifetime, she spends about $15,000 on makeup. Out of the $15,000 spent on makeup, $3,770 is spent on mascara, $2,750 is spent on eye shadow, and $1,780 is spent on lipstick (Mychaskiw). Every woman who uses makeup has their favorite products they like to use every day. Five times a year, women who use makeup regularly will restock on those items.
There are always pros and cons to everything, including makeup. Although, it’s not very healthy for skin, it can hide and cover imperfections. These imperfections include acne, acne scars, and discoloration anywhere on the skin. Covering these imperfections and insecurities can boost a persons’ confidence. The makeup that covers these imperfections is called foundation and concealer. These products are usually cream or powder based, and can include SPF protection from the sun and anti-wrinkle/blemish ingredients.
Unfortunately, there are always cons. Makeup can clog pores and cause acne and imperfections on the skin. Also, it can set into deep wrinkles and cause further wrinkling in the future. If not used regularly, makeup can expire quickly. Once expired, if used, it can cause more severe imperfections, such as cystic acne (Mychaskiw).
For certain people, another con could be that some makeup brands test their makeup on animals. The FDA requires all over-the-counter makeup products to be tested on animals (Companie...

...f these products are sitting on a shelf, or any other storage space, for a long period of time, they can pollute the environment they’re in. These toxins can enter the body in a number of ways. From entering through the pores, to inhaling or eating the makeup. Products with these harsh of chemicals and toxins are usually only found in over-the-counter beauty products, because of their long shelf life. The reason this isn’t taken as seriously is because it takes a long period of time for the effects to show, and cosmetics are not considered as dangerous as food or drugs (Danger That Hides in Makeup).
When it comes to makeup, there is a wide variety of brands and prices for different products, but they’re all used for the same reason; to improve confidence. Makeup has been the main instinct to enhance beauty for a long time, and it seems like it will remain that way.
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
Lipstick is an essential to most women when it comes to appearance because it simply adds the extra visually appealing factor. Lipstick is also used to moisturize the lips, keeping them soft and reducing dryness. Little do most women know about the toxics in the cosmetic because then the cosmetic would be avoided by some if not most. According to pamf.org, a teenager uses 15-25 cosmetics in a day.
All women wish to look their best on their wedding day, prom, or their ten year anniversary, so it is a makeup artist’s job to fulfil this desire. The art of emphasizing one’s most attractive features by highlighting the inner corner of the eye to brighten the eyes, contouring the cheeks to make the cheekbones appear higher and painting on bold lipstick to form perfect, plump lips make the face appear flawless. Some people do not wear makeup everyday, so when they do, their face can appear brightened and awake, therefore they believe they look wonderful. Although many people are confident in their appearance and do not demand makeup to boost their self-esteem, wearing well-applied makeup will always make someone feel
I notice now that young ladies take hours to put on make up to wear just for a few hours. For example, my friend Gabby is always wearing make up every day to make her feel good about her appearance. Sometimes we have to pick her up before our friends and I have to head to the movies, we always have to wait outside for her so she can finish putting on her makeup which most of the time we end up being late for the movie. She wears eye liner, eye shadow, foundation, and mascara and even though she wears all this makeup she feels not good enough. In the “Ugly Truth about Beauty”, Dave Barry claims women have insecurities about the way they look and the mindset of being “not good enough” because of “psychological and societal reasons” such as Barbie, the “multibillion-dollar beauty industry” and supermodels. Although men have different perspective about this.
Always wash your face before you apply makeup. This prepares the skin for the makeup, and removing dirt and oil is essential to keep your skin clear
Just like the constantly changing fashion world, makeup fads come and go. However, what never changes is the correct approach to applying makeup to achieve the ultimate goal of looking the best you possibly can.
my opponent may argue but I assure you, the vast majority of today 's youth is this way. With the stars on the radio, and plastered onto our Tv’s how can you escape the views of the perfect woman? Now a lot of people may wear makeup to make them love themselves... another topic that I will refute. How come they don 't love their bodies and faces? Because Brad the head dick of the football team is more concerned with the skinny waisted cheerleaders? So because Brad doesn 't like her, she wears makeup to cover up her feelings, and dosing her true unrivaled beauty. Some make up once and awhile sure, I understand that too, but trying to look like a plastic barbie doll, is not healthy. The celebrities makeup seem essential, when it 's truly not. To add onto that, how is picking someone else apart because they didn 't wear makeup a good thing? There is very deep gender roles that make women torture themselves simply because they aren 't perfect and I think the people around them play a big role in
In the 1920s, makeup played a vital role especially for women trying to recover from the fears and horrors of the war. After the recession, it lead to an increase of manufacturing new cosmetic products and brands such as Maybelline. As makeup made its debut to the world, stores were opening and slogans such as “try before you buy” just like Gordon Selfridge proclaimed women to get a sense of what products to use along with spreading the word to others if content with the amazing outcome. Face and complexion was considered by most as an important factor for representing beauty of an artificial face. Face powder was very essential because many women wanted to create a light, sandy

“It’s not dress- up and pretend to go to work like mommy does or vacuum the house like mommy does. It’s a very sexuilzed, sensual model of someone who’s trying to get attention,” said by Elizabeth Dybell (Child Beauty Pageants). No, makeup isn’t bad. In some cases, makeup is considered a ‘pick me up.” Makeup can make a WOMEN feel good and confident, but little kids don’t understand that because they don’t care. We don’t need to teach them that now. Young girls and women are all beautiful the way they are, but some girls are taught differently. For example, parents are teaching a 6 year old how to pose like a 20 year old. Just hearing that makes me feel
I learned that drugs and cosmetics often contain chemicals that can be hazardous or have dangerous side effects. For example, a brand of mascara called Lash Lure caused many women to go blind and one woman even died because it contained a chemical that burned the skin when used as directed. After about 100 people died from using a cough syrup called Elixir Sulfanilamide, which was made toxic by its production method, the American public was faced with a decision and it caused our government to pass the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act in 1938.

Makeup has transformed the lives of so many individuals and continues to play an important role in the daily routines of many women (and those men who choose to wear makeup). [Pause] The main reason why makeup initially became integrated into the daily lives of many individuals was to help conceal facial features that people were insecure about. Now, as of 2018, makeup has helped many people in terms of their general self-confidence. The stereotype that makeup is used to impress others is as far off as one can get. No individual would put so much time [Pause], effort [Pause], and education [Pause] into a task that is only to impress others. It is nice to present our self-expression to others, but it all reflects how one feels. One can change
