FacePaint

Makeup has been a commercially available product for only a century, but the practice of decorating the face and body is a timeless tradition. In her book Face Paint, Lisa Eldridge traces the history of makeup from ancient Egyptian and Classical times to the Victorian era and golden age of Hollywood. The book also explores the latest developments in makeup science, both current and future.

Face Paint dives into the reasons why makeup has been used throughout history, the materials used over the generations, and the iconic figures that people look up to for glamour and inspiration on how to achieve various effects. This intriguing work not only chronicles the evolution of makeup style, but also offers a social history of women that examines their lives and experiences through the lens of makeup.
