7 Ordinary Things That Have Changed Immensely Through History

Makeup

Makeup is a very important element when we talk about the beauty standards of each country and from the past to the present. There are societies that promote makeup as being essential for a woman (and for men, why not) and there are cultures that totally forbid it, valuing naturalness.

However, what many people are unaware of is that makeup was developed during the first Egyptian dynasty in 3100-2907 BC. The people of Egypt used skin care unguents and green powders made of antimony – a mineral used to turn certain substances into powder.

Of course, the way makeup is created nowadays is totally different. Makeup companies use organic substances that are not harmful to the human body, being much more effective in masking certain ‘imperfections’. Unfortunately, some companies test their makeup products on animals, and this is more than tragic. So, before buying makeup, try to make sure that the company doesn’t test their products on animals, because in this way we can stop this cruelty.
