This book looks at a brief history of make-up and its use. It also gives the terminology used in make-up as well as the phrases that can encourage you to spend tens if not hundreds of pounds. Many people do not even look at what is on the packaging and most people have no idea what the chemicals are that will soon be adorning their face. Some recognisable ingredients such as fruits and plant oils taken from aromatherapy have been used to soften this ignorance. Many ingredients used in the past caused more damage than beneficial effect and still today some chemicals can still be rated as questionable. Some professions require a person to wear make-up which is unavoidable but minimum make-up for others is closest to beauty and remember most people choose inner beauty not physical attractiveness when choosing their partner.
