The history of make up part 2

The Seventeenth century saw the English and French make up become similar,face painting has mainly been used by sophisticated society and in larger cities,people who lived in the country used little or no powder and paint and lead healthier lives.
As the fashionable ladies in England and France courts used more make up they started puttong patches on their faces,the patches were designed in stars,half moons and round shapes they were cut out of black taffeta spanish leather or gummed paper these patches were useful for covering scars,skin afflications gradually became more excessive as women used more patches at a time.

Famous portraits between 1670 1685 show the fashionable look was a wide fleshy face with a double chin,prominent eyes,full red lips, dark eyebrows and dark hair.The eighteenth century,shows that the ladies at court continued to use heavy make up they also powdered their shoulders and accentuated veins on the bosom with blue.

By this time there was some publicity about the dangers of using white lead paint it was also proven that this eventually killed people,women still used it in England and France from where most of the cosmetics came from.

The Nineteenth century
After the french revolution anything associated with the aristocracy went out of fashion,wigs and long hair were out and most men had short hair and began to grow sideburns and moustaches,then by the middle of the century beards had come into fashion.
Women wore make up more discreetly,when Queen Victoria came to the throne there was a complete reaction against using paint on the face,many cosmetics were home made,powder ,creams and lotions were all that they used only stage actors and courtesans applied paints,meanwhile the men grew large handlebar moustaches with curled ends.The women had long hair which was worn up in rolls and curls.

The history of make up part 1

Evidence is provided showing that make up was first used by prehistoric people in reconstructions and pictures,books on anthropology in The Natural History museum London also in cave drawings,they show that they are the earliest works of art by human beings.
Make up was also used by the egyptians around 31 000bc,they left a lot of useful material in records of their culture,it is also well known that egyptians shaved their heads and wore wigs made from the hair of animals,humans and vegetable fibres.

They wore a lot of make up and were probably the first to use black kohl which is still used today,vegetable dyes,ned clay and white lead were used for both men and women,their hair was usually black,but they sometimes dyed the wigs in bright shades of blue,green and red the eyeshadow often matched the wig.

The Greek civilisation around 250bc offered the idea of the perfect face which is still used today,a painted marble head dating from 350bc was found in a Greek temple,which shws a fashionable lady in those days,the eyebrows were black upper eyelids are a reddish brown and dark gren is used to emphasise the eye sockets.

The Romans have a statue of a roman beauty dating from the firsr century AD which shows her heavily darkened eyebrows,in the fourth century St Ambrose called women harlots for painting their faces,the fashionable colours for hair were blonde and red.
The middle ages span from 400 to 1500AD,were midieval women also used white lead to achieve a aple complextion,as the fashion for pale skin and red lips continued throughout europe.A fourteenth century sculpted Madonna from spain shows plucked painted eyebrows,roughed lips,cheeks and black lined eyes.

The renaissance is the name given to that period which denoted the revival of arts,literature and decoration to succeed the gothic.
Queen Elizabeth I had red hair which became fashionable,she also had heavy cosmetics according to writers the older she got, the more make up she put on.

Task 3

I don`t think that I had many expectations on starting the course,apart from giving a 100 per cent to attending and completing the course and learning new skills and new people.
I am really enjoying the media make up course as it is something that I have wanted to do for a while,I also enjoying attending the course at james watt as the campus is central and there is a good suport network here.

My funniest moment so far is when my hair was put in rollers and when it was dry,I looked like an old woman with a perm,then I just messed it up and styled it with hairspray.
The most interesting thing that i have learned is actually all that I have learned so far,special effects make up,straight make up and setting the hair.
