What is make up made from?






                        What is make-up made from?


        -Castor oil is found in most make-up products. The colours are made from things like crushed bugs and rust. Some dangerous and harmful ingredients could be inside your make-up and when they were tested over 80 percent of make up products had those ingredients such as DEA and TEA. Fragrance and dye's can also lead to allergies.


 -Foundation used to be made from animal fat but it is now made from water, silicone etc which is why they are called water or silicone based foundations. Lipsticks are mostly made from ingredients such as synthetic dye and pigment. Perfume is made from many different ingredients such as extracts from other fragrances and raw materials such as spices and herbs, most perfumes are alcohol based  and are simply just blended with scented oils.

What is make-up?



                               What is make-up?

-Make- up is a number of cosmetic products that are used to improve the appearance. Make-up is said to give people confidence and make them feel better about themselves. Examples of make-up include foundation, mascara etc.      

  



-Egyptians were the first people to wear make-up and it is also believed that the Greeks and the Romans did this to by using all natural ingredients, which shows make-up has been around for thousands of years. It became fashionable in the 20th century for ballets.
  Foundation comes from the far east along with blusher but its hard to know which country exactly, mascara comes from America, nail varnish comes from Egypt and eye liner comes originally from Saudi Arabia. Max Factor was the first make-up brand ever!
