A symbol of wealth and power, the history of makeup
The history of makeup is long, as early as the ancient Egyptian murals appeared in makeup women.
It is widely believed that the history of makeup began with powders that smeared rocks, shells, and insect carapaces. Its purpose is threefold, namely to protect the skin, exorcise demons, and increase the attractiveness of the appearance. The purpose of makeup is to protect the skin from UV rays, dry air and high temperatures, as well as to prevent infectious diseases and skin diseases. Therefore, makeup is also a means of protecting beauty, and its principle is the same as that of skin care.
In addition, the rouge and lead white powder used at that time had the same value as gold, so makeup was also a symbol of wealth and power.
