Series Summary

The history of cosmetics is as old as civilization itself. Archaeological evidence shows that cosmetics were used as far back as 6000 years ago by the ancient Egyptians. The Romans used mercury and flowers to create rouge, and ancient Greeks utilized similar tools in the theater. In Western culture, cosmetics and make-up are more popular than ever, with thousands of products available to choose from. Traditionally, makeup comes in liquid, cream or powder form, and is used to add color to the face and hide freckles, blemishes and other imperfections of the skin, giving a healthier, more youthful appearance.

In these makeup application videos you will learn tips, techniques, and advice from a professional makeup artist. Our expert will demonstrate step by step how to define your eyebrows, create an effect with eye shadow, apply foundation and blush, highlight your cheekbones, and more. Also learn about proper before and after skin care steps, like using moisturizer or how to take your makeup off at the end of the night.
