Historic Facts of Cosmetics

The earliest evidence 

of the role of cosmetics 

in human society was fund 

in the remains of artifacts used 

for eye makeup in Egypt of 

the forth millennium B.C.E. 

Anthropological research also shows 

that there are several ways in which 

humans used their physical 

and social appearance of their bodies 

into cultural manifestations. 

People used their bodies

 and faces as objects 

of aesthetic elaboration 

or as a medium through which  

they can project themselves 

in religious and social life.
