The ancient Romans were very close in their take on makeup as our modern world. The wealthy and affluent Romans were patrons to cosmetology as fashion was pretty much standard for the different levels of society. Therefore, to show their wealth and status, the Romans (particularly Roman women) were very much into extravagant makeup and elaborate hairstyles—even stylish wigs. Since Romans were prominent leaders in the slave trading of the ancient world, they felt as though a few select slaves could prove useful in helping to act as the cosmetologists of early history. These slaves were the ones who came up with new inventive styles for wearing makeup and arranging locks of hair. The higher quantities of makeup and the more expensive the mix of ingredients would be a sign of a woman’s status in society and the wealth of her family. Hygiene was of great importance to Romans. Each new Roman urban area would always have the building of a large bath. Aristocratic and wealthy women would also apply moisturizing creams after their social bath in the changing rooms of the bath building. Roman women were also some of the first habitual makeup wearers and would have multiple layers of makeup to create a perfect or ideal look on the canvas of a woman’s face (whether they were attractive to begin with or not). The first layer of makeup would consist of a paste like foundation to completely cover the skin of the face and make it appear lighter in color. The average Roman woman who wore makeup would usually have a foundation of chalk, orris root, and a small amount of fat to make it thick enough to cover any facial imperfections. Really wealthy women would go all out though with a foundation of white lead paste as it was a better mixture to lighten the skin, cover flaws, and create an overall look. However, since the foundation was poisonous (even though the civilization did not know the dangers of lead based makeup) many rich women who wore it a lot (as in daily) would get sick or even die without a solidly known cause. Following in the way of the Egyptians, the Roman women would achieve red pigmentation in their lips and cheeks with red ochre. The makeup to beautify the eyes though was of special importance. Again, Romans took a leaf from the Egyptian cosmetic book to use kohl as both an eyeliner and even an eyebrow pencil since emphasis of the eyebrows were very important. Ground saffron and crushed malachite stone were used for colored eye shadows—saffron for red-oranges and malachite for green.
While the cosmetics industry regularly produces new products, makeup itself is anything but new. Since the dawn of time, women (and men) have applied a wide variety of products to enhance their faces and improve their natural beauty.
Research shows that human beings have been using makeup for over 50,000 years. Neanderthals used yellow foundation-type pigments and red powders for ritual purposes. In the 4th century B.C., upper class Egyptian women applied scented oils, creams made from the fat of sheep and eye paint. Egyptians were the first to record their use of makeup in tomb paintings and used natural ingredients like unguent, a hydrating substance, and kohl (soot) to beautify their skin and call attention to their eyes. Ancient Egyptians extracted purplish-red dye from seaweed and combined it with iodine and bromine (which resulted in serious illness) to create an early form of lipstick. Cleopatra had her lipstick made from crushed carmine beetles and ants, which produced a deep red pigment.
Sarah Vickery, P&G Beauty & Grooming Principal Scientist, discusses how the Color Science program allows P&G Beauty & Grooming scientists to create natural-looking skin foundation shades and vibrant color cosmetics schemes that enable women to convey certain messages about themselves to others.
Similar to the Egyptians, First Century Romans also used kohl as an early form of eyeliner and mascara. Pure white skin, a sign of the upper class, was the most important feature of Roman beauty and women and men would apply face whitener, such as chalk powder or white lead to their faces. The fact that Romans were aware that lead was dangerous, yet still willingly applied it to their faces, demonstrates how much they valued the appearance of their skin. During this time, women in the Far East, particularly the Chinese and Japanese, were staining their faces with a powder made of rice to make their complexions appear alabaster
