Supplies for Elegant, Chic Makeup Look

Series Summary

Let’s face it. Without judgment or degradation, we can admit that most teenage girls today where more makeup than the escorts of a century ago. But this doesn’t have to be bad. Painting the face has been a religious and cultural tradition for thousands of years, and many people forget that makeup and sexuality are not always related. Wearing makeup for aesthetic reasons probably began with men, just like dresses, perfume, leggings, and jewelry. In different cultures different customs become popular. Think: it wasn’t so long ago that a male who manicured his eyebrows was creepy. We now have eyeliner-wearing guys all over the media and metropolitan areas of America. French men and women of the 16th and 17th centuries wore more makeup than stage actors do today, so let’s give our face-painters some slack.
