What is the History of Makeup Wearing?

The history of makeup is quite ancient; women probably started wearing makeup around 4000 BCE, in Ancient Egypt, and the use of various substances as cosmetics may be even older. Archaeological evidence clearly indicates that both women and men in Ancient Egypt wore makeup, including kohl sticks to blacken the eyes, and copper to create rich green eyeshadow.

It is entirely possible that cosmetics have been a part of human existence for a very long time. If earlier societies used things like berries to stain their lips and cheeks, for example, this would not survive at archaeological sites, as the evidence would have long since decayed. The use of cosmetics was widespread enough by 4000 BCE for archaeological sites to include makeup containers, a few rare examples of cosmetics, and references to makeup in art and writing from this period.

Hot Makeup Tips for Men: Eyeliner & Concealer Why Not?

Nikki Sixx, Zac Efron, Steven Tyler, and Even Bret Michaels Wear It Most women love makeup, but what about the men. I know to some this may sound off the wall, but men need to improve their face appearance, and feel good about themselves. Years ago if a man was caught wearing eye makeup automatically people assumed he was gay, but nowadays this is not true.

You have famous hot celebrities such as Bret Michaels, Chris Daughtry, Leif Garret, Dave Navarro, Nikki Sixx, Pete Wentz, David Cook, Ozzy Osbourne, Steven Tyler, Zac Efron, and the good old Elvis Presley. None of these male celebrities are or were gay. Matter of fact, some of them look pretty hot actually with the guyliner on.

The male skin needs more attention. They sweat and the skin gets very greasy, which causes a lot of face issues. A concealer can help cover up any acne marking, scars, tired eyes, wrinkles, or skin blemish. A eyeliner can make a guys eye pop out, brighten them up, and make their lashes appear longer.

Eye Shadow Colors for Blue Gray Eyes

Enhance one of your most alluring features by determining the best eye shadow colors for blue gray eyes.

Choosing the Right Shades

There are several strategies to choose the right eye shadow to best accentuate your eye color. First, don’t match you eye shadow to your clothing! Instead, choose shadows that complement your eyes and are appropriate depending on your destination or the time of day. Subtle shadow is appropriate for daytime wear at work or school, while you can take it up a notch for a night on the town.

Opposites Attract

Remember the color wheel from art class? The opposite of blue is orange. These two colors complement each other and both appear more intense when they are adjacent. Obviously orange eye shadow would be a little shocking, but think warm tones like brown, bronze, peach and gold. For daytime wear, try brushing a peach or beige shadow with a subtle shimmer from your eye lids to brows. This natural look can be paired with brown eyeliner and mascara. If you desire a more contoured look, brush a little gray-brown shadow along your eye creases and blend thoroughly.

Makeup tips for hazel eyes – by Kate Johns

Hazel eyes are a very pretty color of eyes that occur less naturally than brown eyes. Brown eyes are the most dominant color of eyes, with hazel being an offshoot of brown. That’s because hazel colored eyes have some brown in them. Make up tips for hazel eyes can cover an entire plethora of colors because there are essentially two colors in hazel eyes.

When I was a child my father and I would compare our eyes every day because we had the same color eyes. While we both had hazel colored eyes, our eyes would turn green the very next day. It was so cool to look in the mirror every day, and see that my eyes were hazel one day and green the next. And my Father’s eyes did the same thing! Now that I’m older they went completely bright green. Cool! An asset to getting gray hair, wrinkles and creaking body parts.

When I was older, I learned very quickly what makeup goes and doesn’t go with hazel colored eyes. Of course, I couldn’t ask my father tips on wearing makeup with his color eyes, because he didn’t wear any. He was just that way, not the rock star type.
