Make up

The origin of makeup goes back to the appearance of man, the
first vestiges that come to us indicate that the paintings they used
were substances taken from nature, simulating the colors and
shapes of the flora and fauna, sometimes to transmit their moods
or his social role (widowhood, mourning, virginity, dispossession,
sorcerer, counselor, cacique, etc.), and more frequently in
collective acts or special acts.
This background tells us that makeup since its inception has been
an instrument of communication according to the role that men /
women play in their social environment; influencing this in its
political, economic and psychological.
Makeup is an expression of body language, not verbal. Its use goes
back to prehistory when clay was applied to the face and also used
for various rituals. This body language is not only property of
women, man has also used and used it, although to a lesser
extent. The pharaohs depilated themselves and put on make-up.
In the seventeenth-eighteenth century men wore wigs and
painted their faces white to differentiate the social hierarchy. Only
the wealthy classes could enjoy it. Even now we can see some
tribes whose men do it for their rites of initiation or celebration,
also when they go to war to intimidate the enemy. It is even used
by some singers, certain urban tribes or any man who wants to.
