History About Make Up

Do you want to know the history of make up? Make up was invented in 4,000 BC by the ancient Egypt. For the Egyptian make up was a way be protect by the weather and they also use it for better their looks. The use to paint them selves and they have the belief that by painting their eyes it would give protection by keeping  away danger but in actual fact that caused a lot of problems because it turned out to be poisonous.They also painted their lips and cheeks, and the lined their eyebrows heavily with kohl. Cosmetics were an inherent part for the Egyptian hygine and health. As a matter of fact  the Greeks invaded Egypt aware of the Egyptian use of oils but they were interested mainly in the medical knowledge. After make up was used and many other things such as perfumes were know and used not only in Egypt but other places too. For example in Greece, they would use all the cosmetics to export and sale them and formed an important part of trade around the Mediterranean. Not only did Egyptian's had the believe of painting them selves to protect them from danger but also did the Iraqi men and women painted themselves to be protected from the "evil eye". Last but not least the Christian Gnostic, Chinese believed that the fragrance of the plants (perfumes) represented the liberation of its soul.

What Do Girls Have To Say About Make Up

Today I interviewed a group of girls form ages 14-16 at "Point Loma High School" to ask them questions about their personal opinions about make up. First I interviewed freshmen and then sophomores to see if there would be any differences between their opinions do to their age. But at the end there wasn't any difference at all. But I found out that there are more girls that do wear make up, and less girls that doesn't wear make up. First question that I asked was ,Do you wear make up why or why not? Girls who answered no said, "I don't wear make up because natural beauty is better than putting all this different things in your face trying to look prettier". Another girl just answered "I just simply don't like it and I think that make up is for girls who just have no self confidence in themselves and well I do so, why putting make up on" Some one else said, "Putting make up on takes too much time".Girls who do wear make up said, "I do because I feel more confident in myself when I wear make up but I make sure I don't over use it" There were other girls who do wear make up but not all the time like the ones that answered, "Yes I do wear make up occasionally, like for parties or when I go out with my family. You don't have to put on make up to look pretty just to go to school or even to the store or even in the weekends unless you go out". Second question I asked all the girls, When you hear the word make up, what do you think about? They all gave the same amount of answers such as, models, fashion, fake people, and the one that was mention the most was beauty. Third question I asked was, Do you think make up is good, bad, or both, and why?. They all answered both. "Good because it helps those teenage girls who think they are not pretty feel better about themselves and by putting on make up and makes them have more confidence about themselves. But at the same time bad because one, is that when you are putting on make up  is like you are trying to hide the real you and it just makes you fake in a way. Second because there are many girls who just over use and instead of wearing make up to look pretty you look ugly". At the end I asked one last different question to the girls depending if they wear make up or not. So to the girls that don't wear make up I asked them. Do you see yourself wearing make up in the future? They both answered, "Yes". To the girls who do wear make up I asked them, Would you go out whether is school party or even for a walk with out make up? All of them said, "Yes, I am not obsessed with make up for me to not be able to go out in public with out having make up on.

My Opinion About Make Up

Hi my name is Janeth Mateo and I am 15 years old. My topic is about make up and I just want for teenage girls to know what is that they put on every day in there face. So,anyone who is reading this and wears make up I want to ask you one question. Do you really know whats in your make up? I personally don't wear make up at all only eye liner. For me I don't even want to wear the pressed powder. I remember once my sister Tania put the powder on me and it just felt nasty. I took it off right away but never again I have put or even tried to wear it again. I wonder if even though that I know what make up is made out of or even if I didn't know, would I wear make up at all in the future?
