MAKE-UP SHADES FOR DIFFERENT SKIN TYPES
 The
cosmetics industry as it is known today has its probable origins in
1930s’ Hollywood. As heavily made up movie actors appeared before
millions of fans on the silver screen, make up artists like Max Factor
began to mass produce make up for women who wanted to emulate their film
idols.
With the economic boom after World War II, the cosmetics industry was
accelerated by the new technology of television, with its ads for all
sorts of cosmetic products, including lipsticks and mascara, followed
closely by the advent of the beauty magazine. Finding the i deal
color to complement your skin tone will not only help to conceal
unwanted blemishes but also enhances your natural beauty. But it wasn’t
until the 1970’s that cosmetics companies began producing hues for women
of all skin colors. Make-up now comes in a variety of shades and hues,
making it possible for any woman to easily find the perfect make-up for
her particular skin tone.
For instance, a woman who happens to have a dark complexion can go
just about anywhere to find just the right colors to complement her rich
skin tone such as shades of brown, and bronze Other color choices like
copper, rust, dark rose and burgundy also wok beautifully on darker
complexions. For women who are fair skinned, the most flattering make-up
colors that are different shades of peach and pink, from the lightest
pink to darker shades of mauve.
The cosmetics industry has indeed come a long way since the first
sheep fat creams were used in ancient Egypt more than six thousand years
ago. Today, tens of thousands of make-up and skin care products are
advertised on billboards and on television, in magazines and in
newspapers and on the internet. For the consumer, this means better
choices, lower prices and superior quality. |
