The Beautiful Woman Says, Where Does Your Cosmetics Come From? Don'T Be Silly!

To be precise, this is a brief history of modern beauty.

The earliest use of cosmetics can be traced back to thousands of years ago. In ancient China, there were Rouge water powder, and there were records of women applying red makeup in poetry.

Different kinds of cosmetics appeared in ancient Greece, ancient Egypt, ancient Rome, medieval Europe and Renaissance.

Women's pursuit of beauty is probably natural.

Modern make-up and skin care are mostly originated from France, the United States and Japan. From the beginning of twentieth Century to the beginning of 50s, some brands have become the giants of the industry, and some of them seem to be not very conspicuous. But their contributions in the history of cosmetics are all very important, laying the foundation for modern cosmetic products.

Xiaobian is afraid that this long article will look as boring as history textbook, but when collecting information, it will collect many early beauty posters and early product packaging. Now it seems to be full of retro style and taste. I believe that only looking at pictures is also pleasing to the eye and a sense of passing through time and space.
