The history of cosmetics until now in a series of Slide Shows

The history of cosmetics spans at least 7,000 years and is present in almost every society on earth.
Cosmetic body art is argued to have been the earliest form of a ritual in human culture. The evidence
for this comes in the form of utilised red mine.

Cultures to use cosmetics include the ancient Greeks and the Romans. In the Roman Empire,
the use of cosmetics was common amongst prostitutes and rich women. Such adornment was sometimes
lamented by certain Roman writers, who thought it to be against the castitas required of women
by what they considered traditional Roman values; and later by Christian writers who expressed
similar sentiments in a slightly different context. Pliny the Elder mentioned cosmetics in his
Naturalis Historia, and Ovid wrote a book on the topic.
