Makeup has a long and fascinating history. The Ancient Egyptians used it for medical purposes and believed that eye paint protected them against evil forces. A century ago, in the fight for the right to vote, women wore red lipstick as a symbol of freedom from oppression. Nowadays the reasons to wear makeup are as diverse as ever. It can be used to give off a subtle vibe or to radically transform a woman’s look — the only limit is her imagination.
