Ancient Greek Eyeshadow

Makeup wasn’t the easiest thing to find or create. The things makeup contained back then will leave you breathless. I wouldn’t have imagined that makeup used so many different things through history. Makeup has a lot of steps to it than just applying it on your face. Makeup seems like it’s nothing but it has a lot to it especially history because it has changed a whole lot over time. It hasn’t only changed by the ingredients but the colors and designers as well as time keeps going by new things also come out.

The psychology of beauty is complex not just because the concept of beauty is as yet undefined, but also because it is largely true that beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder or how individuals perceive other people or things. The importance of beauty has been taught since the first civilizations. It is known that the cave people of the Mesolithic period (around 10,000 B.C.) softened their skin with castor oil and grease, and also used plant dyes to tattoo their skin. Lipsticks first appeared in the ancient city off Ur, near Babylon, 5000 years ago. Ancient Greek women painted their cheeks with herbal pastes made from crushed berries and seeds. A dangerous development of beauty

The idea of cosmetology and beauty was commenced by ancient tribal hunters. It is believed that they would smear ash under their eyes and use animal urine to alter their smell. This is where the idea of eyeliner and perfume originated (Schurman). Around the world cosmetology is being introduced like Egypt is suggested to be one of the most ancient culture that associates with cosmetics. Make up to them was really significant especially to the royal egyptians. Their idea of eyeliner was made up of lead, ash and mercury. The use of this eyeliner helped reduce glare, prevent any type of infection, and mostly to make their eyes beautiful (Schurman). Now the Chinese ancient culture had mixtures of natural ingredients to produce stimulating nail polish. The nail polish to these people were sign of wealth (Murphy). In ancient Rome and Greece those who could afford it would receive baths in lotions. They wore perfume, face powder, blush, eyeliner, and lipstick. During this period it was discovered that oils, lotions, and animal fat have beautification properties (Schurman).

One of my most vivid memories as a child was when I was six, a seemingly world away now. My mother had held me over her knee, letting me straddle it, as she braided my hair in a straight, straw rope down my back. Her fingers were gentle, yet quick, and always knew how to avoid tugging my knots in order to spare me more bedevilment. I remember that she had always removed it just as she finished, for fear of my father walking in on us. ‘It will be our little secret,’ she would say to me, before hiding my hair back under a cloth bonnet, and returned to her stitching. It wasn’t until many summers later that I learned why I was to keep the secret hair braiding quiet, and why she never did it while my father was home. In the eyes of the church, a promiscuous or extravagant hair style was a hint of being a witch (Stuart A. Kallen).

A Pompeian woman used many techniques to reach their ideal beauty, some woman used foundation creams and face powders which were made from white lead or powdered chalk and animal fats. Since these makeup products mainly used a powder that was white show the lengths the woman would go to to gain a white face need for their ideal beauty. You can see all the women in the wall painting have a white face which fits into their ideal beauty. A way Pompeian women could darken their eye was with eyeliner which was made from soot or antinomy powder. In Venus’ wall painting, you can see her dark eyes closer than the House of the Surgeon fresco. This show that the dark eyes were ideal not only to Pompeian women but all Roman women as well as a

Women in Ancient Greek and Roman history are easily overlooked, whether that be though art, poetry, or mythology. Mythology is extremely popularized throughout all of Greek history, leaving domestic life in the shadows for the most part. The fascination with beings possessing special powers and abilities, like going to and from the underworld or wielding lightning bolts, compared to everyday women’s domestic life it is a slightly boring topic. Women’s history in many different cultures has a minor amount of information recorded, no matter the form of record keeping, compared to men. Men typically had more interesting roles in daily life, for example; craftsmen, soldiers, senators, or even emperors. However, domestic life for women was not

Their makeup was similar to ours today. Egyptians used perfume oils to clean, protect, and scent their skin. A makeup called Kohl was made by grounding a substance into a paste on a palette, it was worn by both men and women. It was applied around the eye, and protected the eye from the glare of the sun. Kohl was the color of black, and is a common sighting in Ancient Egyptian art.

Similar to the lives of women in other ancient civilisations, Ancient Greek women’s lack of independence was largely a result of the patriarchal ideology of their society. Although contemporary evidence suggests that ancient depictions of women lack some credibility in their assertions, the weight of evidence reveals that while Greek women were socially and economically secure in marriage, the ideal image valued by Greek culture, one of humility and domesticity, meant that women exerted little legal, political and social influence. Despite doubts about their accuracy, ancient evidence shows that women, in accordance with the bigoted Greek society’s idealised view, enjoyed a degree of responsibility within their household, but had little independence in the wider community.

Eye makeup was an innovation within the Egyptian cities and life. The makeup consisted of a mineral called Malachite and Galena for a green colour, but this makeup is composed of soot making it black or very dark in colour. The Egyptians believed that it could cure eye diseases and prevent the evil eye, the reason for wearing this makeup was not just for the look, but the medical benefits. The eye lining was not just for women, though, most of the upper classes wore such makeup mainly for the appearance to boost their status. They applied very large amounts to benefit their health and their status.

The Change in the Role of Women From the Ancient World to the Roman World: The topic of the role of women is a topic that I feel is worth discussing as I find it to be particularly interesting and relevant to the contemporary world. This is because, as will be shown later in the essay, we can see big developments in the role of women as well as seeing some similarities in the role of women in the two different societies and times. Women were previously perceived as being inferior to men in every way. Over time, this view has changed and women have become increasingly more equal with men and have been given more freedom. However, women are not yet equal to men in society and there are instances in which we can see the role of women has not

For an Ancient Egyptian woman , the phrase " Cleanliness is next to Godliness " was of importance , as good hygiene was the start & an important base of most beautifying rituals at this time, as having a body that emitted unpleasant odors was extremely undesirable and associated with impurity. To obtain good hygiene, women who could afford it made a cleansing paste out of water & natron , before rubbing oils into her skin , commonly fragranced with frankincense ( a good , balsamic sweet woody smell ) or myrrh ( a warm & woody resin ). Women of both the poor and rich class were often supplied with these oils , both to keep a pleasant body odor , and probably to help keep the skin moisturized as well in the hot climate. After cleansing themselves, Egyptian women loved to adorn themselves with makeup, especially eye
