istorians seem to get awfully hot under their collars about ‘inaccuracies’ and ‘distortions’ in historical movies which seems really strange – I mean when did you last hear a physicist complaining that transmats between London and New York are scientifically impossible. Either historians, as a profession, have a sense of humour malfunction or they are secretly aware, but unwilling to admit, that (at least) at the level of the text all history is just stories about the past.
For reference on period looks from ancient Egypt to the near-contemporary I recommend Richard Corson’s books: Fashions in Makeup: From Ancient to Modern Times and Fashions in Hair: The First Five Thousand Years. They are pretty comprehensive in covering the history of makeup and hairstyles in Europe (and latterly North America) but limited in their coverage of other traditions.
Nail polish can be traced back to at least 3000 BC. The Chinese found ways to use gum arabic, egg whites, gelatin, and bees wax to create varnishes and lacquers for the nails. The Egyptians used henna to stain their fingernails.
Nail color often represented social class. During the Chou Dynasty, (circa 600 BC) gold and silver were the royal colors. Later, royalty starting wearing black or red nail color. Lower ranking women were only permitted to wear pale tones. Wearing royal colors without the rank was punished by death.
Modern nail polish is a actually a variation of car paint.
The very first people to use cosmetics, at least that we can tell from archaeological evidence, were the Ancient Egyptians, who were slathering their faces with great zeal as early as 4,000 BC.
The Egyptians were known for painting their lips either a vibrant shade of red or a kind of bluey-black color. It's quite possible that they used other colors as well, but these ones we know about today. Makeup was used not only for the sake of beauty, but also for the sake of magic and medicine. Colors varied when it came to eyeliner, but generally speaking green was used during the time of the Old Kingdom whereas black came into vogue during the New Kingdom era. The green eyeliner was made of green malachite which was to be found in Sinai or green copper ore. The black eyeliner was made from a lead sulfide called galena and came from Gebel et-Zeit in the desert. Later on, kohl came to be used which was a fun mix of soot and galena.
Blush was also applied during the time of the Ancient Egyptians and was made from red ochre which was clay that was tinted naturally. Making blush involved pulling clay out of the ground, washing it thoroughly and then allowing it to dry in the sun. Washing the clay helped to separate the ochre from the sand and the ochre produced a beautiful effect when it graced the cheeks of the Egyptians.
