WHYWEAR

MAKEUP

a question men asking from

the beginning of the earth!!!

Before jumping on the BIG CONVERSATION

Let’s start with the HISTORY of

MAKEUP

The earliest historical record of makeup comes from the 1st Dynasty of Egypt (c.3100-

2907 BC). Tombs from this era have revealed unguent jars, which in later periods were scented. Unguent

was a substance extensively used by men and women to keep their skin hydrated and supple and to avoid wrinkles from the dry heat. The women of Egypt also decorated their eyes by applying dark green color to the under lid and blackening the lashes and the upper lid with kohl, which was made from antimony (a metallic element) or soot. It is believed that the Jews adopted the use of makeup from the Egyptians, since references to the painting of faces appear in the New Testament section of the Bible.

Roman philosopher Plautus (254-184 BC) wrote, "A woman without paint is like food without salt." Of course, Plautus was a dramatist,

which would explain his preference for the look of a "painted woman" at that time.Romans widely used cosmetics by the middle of the 1st century AD. Kohl was used for darkening eyelashes and eyelids, chalk was used for whitening the complexion, and rouge was worn on the cheek. Depilatories were utilized at that time and pumice was used for cleaning the teeth.

SO WEARING MAKEUP IS NOT

SOMETHING NEW

Let’s see who thinks what about

MAKEUP

ACCORDING TO GIRLS

“Really, we just do it for

ourselves.”

“It’s PURRTYYY.Makeup is an art. When my friends ask

me to do their makeup, I honestly feel

more artistic than I have ever felt in

my life.”

“It corrects thing that we cannot always correct on our own.”

Confession time: I have horrible under eye

circles. I have been self-conscious about my dark

circles since I was 13. When I discovered the

power of concealer, I was baffled because I had

witnessed a miracle. My droopy eyes had turned

bright and alert for once. Makeup is helpful

when it comes down to the emergency

situations: zits, blotchiness, and blackheads.

These are all times when I need a little dab of

foundation here and there.

“It’s a way to be expressive”

When I see a woman with dramatic plum shadow, high-blushed cheekbones, and nude glossy lips, I can immediately sense a way in which she expresses herself. Some girls go for the natural look and others go for the dramatic, sexy look. Either way, I can gage a tiny part of their personality.

Let’s see what men thinks about MAKEUP

“how men really feel about

makeup” Online dating

site Zoosk recently conducted

a study examining that very

issue; the results, however, are

a little surprising — and also a

little problematic.

Zoosk started by analyzing 1,200 profile photos of female users. Then, they correlated the types of makeup worn in those photos to the preferences displayed towards them by male users. Contrary to the oft-touted opinion that dudes prefer women without makeup, Zoosk actually found that women who wore makeup in their profiles received quite a few more messages than those who didn’t — three times as many, to be exact.

Ernie Arias, 38, confirms: ''Push-up bras, heels, spray tans, hair color, fake lashes and make-up too? No guy wants a girl that turns into a pumpkin at midnight.''

42-year-old Sam Delate is adamant he married his wife because she

was a natural beauty. ''The reason I have a preference for little

make-up on girls is that's what they will look like naturally in the

morning, as opposed to lying next to someone who can supply all

the concealer to fill the cracks in the wall,'' Delate says.

Recently single Rob Tigust, 41, who is now online dating,

says: ''I only like make-up around the eyes. I don’t like lipstick,

especially red. If it’s between a girl with no make-up or a full

make-up job, I’ll take the girl with none. I guess in the back of

my mind lots of make-up means [they’re] high maintenance

and they’re probably not that secure within their own body.''

Dan McMillan, 32: ''A lot depends on the photo. Eyeliner

might mean she looks better in the shot, but in real life

it’s a totally different story. I’m probably more likely to

tap a girl if she’s wearing some make-up than none at

all.''

CONFUSED???

So are the boys. In a different survey of men on the Zoosk site, 66 per cent of men said they didn’t like dark make-up, while 57 per cent said that they wouldn’t like a women wearing red lippie on a first date.

AND MEN THINKS WOMEN A MISTRY!!!!!!!!

HOW ABOUT SOME MAKEUP MAGIC?????????

YOU CAN KILL ME BUT

YOU CAN’T STOP ME

The bottom line, though, is this:

Who cares?
