Early 20th century was without a doubt dawn of the modern cosmetic industry. Rise of film, photography, fast communications, countless innovators, and support from large industrialists managed to introduce cosmetic products to every household in the western world. During first few decades of 20th century, cosmetic companies (many who would soon become international powerhouses) introduced solid lipsticks, lip gloss, mascaras, eyeliners (propelled to mass popularity by the incredible discoveries beneath Egyptian pyramids), suntans, hair colors, gels and powders of all types. With such advancements, it was not strange to see that old Victorian styles were soon forgotten. New international fashion moved rapidly after 1930s, introducing new styles with each passing decade.
Large departure from traditional styles happened in 1960s and 70s with the introduction of hippie movement (natural-looking cosmetic), punk (darker and sinister style that aimed to shock) and glam (extravagant and colorful style). From them, many new styles emerged that have changed and molded fashion to its current state.
The price of looking beautiful is something nearly every human being, going back to the earliest of societies, has paid.  It’s in human nature to want to look and feel attractive.  The next time you think today’s society is superficial, remind yourself of the products used by Ancient Egyptians and Renaissance women.  At least our products today are relatively safe.
There’s a lot of talk about how today’s society is obsessed with appearances.  There is this underlying belief that there was less pressure to change your appearance for beauty’s sake before modern society.  When you actually look at the habits of people hundreds or thousands of years ago, you will see that appearance has always been important to society.
Around 10,000 BCE, the Ancient Egyptians were developing almost every kind of cosmetic that we would use today.  They had creams for stretch marks and to fight aging.   They used oils to moisturize their skin and they had an array of perfumes.  To them, looking attractive was the best way to get close to the gods.
This section covers the use of makeup to portray female characters in pre-twentieth century settings – twentieth-century looks can be seen in the look-alike section. I have freely mixed ‘real’ historical persons and fictional characters: all films are works of the imagination.
The look of each century will be illustrated primarily through characters who, while not necessarily typical in their appearance (and certainly not typical of ordinary people), have grabbed the attention of movie-makers: eg Elizabeth I and Catherine de Medici in the sixteenth century, Marie Antonette in the eighteenth century. Much history used to be written as the great deeds of great men and movies with historical settings remain stuck in the same rut with ordinary people appearing all-too-often only as spear carriers, background setting or local colour costumed straight out of The Art Of Coarse Acting: movies like Girl With a Pearl Earring are all too infrequent
It is clear that film-makers have often used as much artistic licence in the look of the past as they have in plotting historical movies. Just as histories often tell us more about the time when they were written than about the period they supposedly documented, so period makeups often say more about the makeup of the 1930s than of Ancient Egypt: you can see Claudette Colbert wearing her Cleopatra hairstyle in other movies she made that year that had a contemporary setting
