Nampeung Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) So let's look at the origins of make up then............ Going out on a limb I'd say that make up of any sort has been used by women and sometimes men to represent sexuality/availability/attraction for thousands of years. I don't yet know where make up was born but I suspect it was very early in society for both men and women Edited July 17, 2008 by Nampeung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eek Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 (edited) Doesnt make-up originate from Egypt or something? When the people wanted to mimic their eyes like that of a cat. Cats being so revered and all that. Hmm Google time... edit: History of Make-Up Edited July 17, 2008 by eek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nampeung Posted July 17, 2008 Author Share Posted July 17, 2008 Thanks for the link Eek - wonderful !!! I am personally obssessed with Geisha make up and the whole ceremony of applying it. Trying to use Boo's version of upward stokes and getting better at it. The sponge seems to lay it on too thick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathyy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I use a powder foundation, applied with a sponge, for the additional sun protection. I wear it over a moisturizer that provides some sun protection. I need lots of sun protection. I wore makeup while working on B-52s on the flight line to protect my skin from the grease and grime of my job. I could go home and wash it all off. I was the only one of the (admittedly few) women there who didn't have constant acne problems. They didn't wear makeup because it seemed pointless to them; the job made them feel totally unfeminine.
