Make-up, as we know it, has only been commercially available in the
last 100 years, but applying decoration to the face and body may be
one of the oldest global social practices. Lisa Eldridge, one of
the world's foremost make-up artists-with a very large and loyal
public following of her own-has written the first real history of
the subject. Face Paint will explore the reasons behind make-up's
use, the actual materials employed and manufactured through the
ages, the icons that people emulate and how they achieved their
effects, the impact on women's lives and the present and future of
make-up from high profile practitioners artists to cosmetic
breakthroughs. Along with the glamorous trappings, this is also
about women's history and the ways in which we can understand their
story through the prism of make-up.
