There are some very good beauty products out in many stores that can help the appearance of someone, but there are some that may do more damage instead of help. These products that say that they are revitalizing the skin or putting more sheen in your hair may just be like putting toxins into your body. The most fearful thing about these products is that they could be right in your local store that sells them, but don’t get me wrong not all of them sell things like these but it is still raising a good question of, “What are the ingredients of the hair care or skin care products that you buy?”

Have you ever wondered what profession you will eventually take on? Have you ever thought about or been interested in makeup or skincare? If so, what's the difference? While many may think that they both entail the same requirements, they do not and actually, have many differences. This message is mainly towards younger viewers interested in taking a career within these two fields, I am going to discuss today. For many people, choosing a profession can be difficult without knowing much about the details. Let's discuss these two professions.

This obsession with makeup is widespread and it’s extremely obvious to see the influence the cosmetic industry has had on everyday life in America. The industry has only grown throughout the years and continues to be a multi-billion dollar a year business.

Makeup does a lot for one's looks. It can even out a person's complexion. It can improve one's looks. Many people follow strict rules when it comes to makeup. Of course, rules are important in life. However, there are times when you can toss out the rules, be who you are, and have fun.

The makeup industry is constantly changing as there are new trends that come about each year. Make up isn’t only used on women; it is also used on men for many purposes. Make up can be used to do special effects, cover blemishes, to structure faces, compliment eyebrows, and in many other creative ways. The trend of makeup came about c.3100-2907 BC, Egypt is known to be the most known place to start using it. The use of makeup has changed drastically over time, in some people’s eyes the makeup industry has improved and evolved. Some may think that the makeup industry has changed in a hideous way. Cosmetics is a woman’s “best friend” in some cases, because who else can cover those hideous pimples that pop on many women’s face! The use of makeup may have been big in other cultures also, but Egypt is most known. As the world changes day by day, the way makeup is used is also changed. Make up can be a hobby for many now, but while used in Egypt it wasn’t a hobby. Making a living off of being a certified makeup artist is also very common. Vanity is very old, and the ancient Egyptians were no exception. “Both men and women were known to wear copious amounts of makeup, which they believed gave them the protection of the gods Horus and Ra. These cosmetics were made by grinding ores like malachite and galena into a substance called kohl” (History). The Egyptians believed their makeup had magical healing powers. Egyptian omen also stained their cheeks with red paint, and use henna to color their hands and fingernails. The most important tool in

Around this time last year, the beauty world was filled with excitement because Mac Cosmetics released that they had a collection in the works based on the Queen of Tejano – Selena Quintanilla. After the announcement was released, the beauty world, especially Selena’s fans, went into a frenzy. Before the official launch date, different beauty influencers would receive packages with the collection to review for their viewers. Without a doubt, this definitely created more hype and increased the desire for fans to get their hands on the collection. Fast forward to October 6, 2016 and I found myself waiting in a line that I thought would never end. This paper will discuss how I waited in line with my Aunt Denise to get my hands on the limited

It has been estimated that the global beauty industry consisting of skin care worth $24 Billon; hair-care products valued at $38 billons and perfume at $15 billion is growing up to 7% a year (Economist, 2003). These numbers show the industry of beauty has proven to be lucrative over the years due to the need for that special hair and body products mixed with the wants of perfumes, body potions and etc. However, it is not just a good product that delivers results the customer is looking for, it is an overall experience that has become essential.

Out of each member of the theatre production team (in the theatre creation process), I would select the role of the makeup designer. The makeup designer is a theatre artist that is responsible for determining all the visual aspects of makeup for all performers of a theatrical production. The makeup designer works closely with the costume, lighting, scenic, and sound designers, as well as the director, to help establish an appropriate style and interpretation of characters. The duties of a makeup designer are incredibly important and crucial because of the characters that they create.

The originally Canadian based company Makeup Art Cosmetics (MAC) was founded by Frank Toskan and Frank Angelo in 1984. Its market base is globally with most of its stores located in North and South America. The initial intent was to sell high quality cosmetics to professionals. However, the brand rapidly was sought out by photographers, celebrities, and fashion models. Shortly after became available to the general public for everyday use. The brand was desired because of its refined texture, durability and array of colors. The product for the most part is tolerated well when with all skin types and MAC make-up items are also appropriate for individuals with sensitive eyes (MAC, 2016). The products price range is similar when compared to high quality brands. MAC is only sold in store that have a contract to sell MAC. Though one can find fifty-seven counties with MAC stores the strategy MAC takes on their products limits product sales in Eastern Europe and Central American countries.

I went to The Face Shop located inside of H-mart in Niles for my cultural observation project. I do not shop at H-mart frequently because it is too far from where I live. However, whenever I do shop at H-mart, I remember to stop by my favorite Korean cosmetics store, The Face Shop. From outside, the establishment resembles a typical Korean cosmetic retail store. Bright, soft lightings, special sale items by the storefront, shelves on the walls displaying neatly stocked skin care items, makeup stations with a wide selection of colorful makeup products, posters of beautiful Korean celebrities, and young women employees.
