Facial creams were very popular and also rouge was applied to the cheeks, eyelids, and lips. Foundation was moisturizer, powder, rouge, and then more powder.

The purpose of our project was to examine how accessible it would be to make medieval cosmetics from the Trotula while evaluating the effectiveness of these cosmetics. The Trotula was written in Southern Italy and consisted of a group of three texts describing women’s medicine. The third section of the Trotula focuses mainly on Women’s Cosmetics. The purpose of this section was to teach females how to improve their appearance themselves, except females, did not read these resources. It was not written by a woman, but by a male physician for male physicians. These male physicians wanted to discover “women’s secrets”. Due to the authorship of the Trotula, there were several problems that appeared when trying to replicate these recipes. Male physicians
Lipstick, the beauty product that has been used since the middle ages (Brown). Lipstick has gone through many changes during its years. Every girl knows of this beauty product because it has grown to be more popular since it was first sold.

It is essential to recognize the relative perception of beauty products and hair treatments for different ethnic groups at the time in question. For the white consumer, the use of makeup was the major issue; the disreputable view of the painted lady had to be overcome. The black woman had a more complex situation regarding the products being offered. Hair-straightening and skin-lightening products could be viewed as an attempt to seem more white, and use of these products was thus charged with racial overtones within the black community.

Although cosmetics became widely popular in the 1900s, tombs from 3100 B.C. have revealed that makeup originated in the first Egyptian Dynasty ("The History of Makeup", 1). Researchers found that these cosmetics contained ingredients that ranged from lead to cat dung; both of which are toxic. The use of toxic chemicals in cosmetics, such as coal tar, negatively impacts a person's health. Cosmetic companies put consumers' health at risk due to the use of toxic chemicals, marketing ploys and failure to properly regulate their own products and the chemicals they contain. While cosmetics pose dangerous risks to the human body in general, pregnant women and their fetus are especially vulnerable to the consequences of being exposed to these toxins.
Makeup and cosmetics have always been used long before the first century. Researches never really found exactly who was the first cosmetologist, but they do know who were the people who mixed ingredients together to be able to apply and beautify were the Egyptians.

There are two ways women would do their eyebrows, the first was to pluck them thin or how much they wanted it to be and then fill them in with pencil to obtain a certain shape. The second way was to pluck or shave it completely off and then draw them in with eyebrow pencil. Natural brows were also a typical thing for women because it was considered fashionable to draw the ends beyond the natural brow and then slope them downward. Eyebrows were a main part of makeup because women tended to have thicker and fuller eyebrows than men which would not exceed many women’s standards in a feminine, artificial look. Lastly, for creating a perfect lip outlook, push-up tubes were used and were invented by Maurice Levy in 1915. Red was the typical lip shade that was used because it was one of many colors to enhance their face with pop color and to balance out their heavy eyeshadow look. Also, the most associated lip look in the 1920s was the cupid’s bow to create the upper lip in a shape of a heart along with applying lipstick on it’s outer edge for a rounded mouth. Furthermore, makeup was very essential in the 1920’s for women because it was a form of individual
