When the time came to apply makeup it would have taken a fair amount of work as it wouldn't have been in cute little containers like today and made ready to use. There were some cosmetics that were pre-prepared for Egyptian customers, but these would probably have been more expensive. Egyptians would have had a large surface covered with various tools and instruments used to crush and mix things, sort of like a medieval alchemist's laboratory. First they would have to grind up their cosmetics and make sure they were thoroughly crushed and then mix them up in some type of fat or water afterwards so it would glide more readily onto the skin. Once the makeup was prepared, a wand or stick made of ivory, wood or bone would have been used to apply it.
There are lots of great websites with videos devoted to teaching enthusiastic Ancient Egypt fans exactly how to apply this style of makeup using the tools and makeup we have available now should anyone be interested!
Pierre-François-Pascal Guerlain, a graduate in medical chemistry recently arrived in Paris from the provinces, opens his first boutique in the Rue de Rivoli in 1828. Thanks to a sound knowledge of pharmaceuticals, he excels in what will eventually make him famous – the manufacture of rich, gorgeously scented soaps. 1830 -  Beauty from first principles
Guerlain boosts his perfumery business by importing, from England, a number of skincare products manufactured from natural raw materials. The shop becomes a magnet for the fashion set, who are very taken with “Blanc de Perle” skin lightener as well as the astonishing “Graisse d’Ours” bear-oil pomade. Makeup that enhances the trendy alabaster complexion of the day is very popular, and Guerlain enjoys great success with his “Poudre de Lys” – widely regarded as a must-have – as well as his long-lasting liquid lip tint with “Extract of Roses” and the shop’s first solid lipstick, “Roselip”. 1840 - An Imperial triumph
The future perfumer to Napoleon’s Empress Eugenie continues to produce more and more original creations, until the entire aristocracy is talking about his creams and ointments. By gathering new scents from faraway lands, Guerlain turns alchemist and blends ingredients until he obtains a unique fragrance. This distinctive, magical touch lies at the very heart of every Guerlain product, and has been passed down the generations to the present day.
During the Roaring Twenties, Guerlain launches “Poudre aux Ballons”, featuring a drawing of the firm’s first perfumery on the Place de l’Etoile. The company also enjoys another success: “Rose Lip Bengal”, a lipstick in Art Deco style. Guerlain continues to meet women’s needs by inventing an indelible lipstick, “Rouge d’Enfer”, patented in 1924 and perfectly illustrating Guerlain’s driving ambition: to create beauty products that are both luxurious and practical. 1930 - 1967 - Times change, and so does makeup
Makeup becomes an art, defining and highlighting the sensuality of the lips and sculpting the face.
Applying makeup becomes artful – and fun – with the introduction of “Rouge Automatique” with its one-handed applicator, and the refillable “Nouveau Rouge”. A tanned complexion becomes fashionable, so Guerlain invents “Teint Doré par le Soleil”, precursor to the world-famous “Terracotta” collection.
In 1957, “Rouge G” becomes a worldwide success, eclipsing the practical “three-in-one” lipstick.
