Since I am dedicated to Veganism, I promptly looked into the cruelty free brands and immediately focused entirely on those. Unfortunately, any products sold in Mainland China require animal testing, so larger brands such as Maybelline, Revlon, Nars, etc. can't be classified as cruelty free. No matter! There are plenty of drugstore brands (E.L.F and Wet N' Wild) and prestige brands that have kept the commitment and provide awesome products. With Lisa's book it is more about the history, culture, and marketing of how makeup came to be. I have been waiting for a book like this for years! Like I mentioned previously, I love 'how to books' on makeup, but I wanted to know how we came to wear our makeup, how it evolved, how we consumed it, why we wore it a certain way one decade and another way years later. Lisa breaks that down and the style icons we looked to that changed how we approached makeup each generation. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE This book. Did I say I loved this book? You may know of Lisa Eldridge for being a famous makeup artist to the stars or from her highly popular Youtube channel. Lisa is a very relatable makeup artist that shares her secrets on youtube without being stuffy. In the past makeup artists and Hollywood never revealed their secrets which were always held close to the vest. Lisa ropes that curtain down and shows us how it is done. Thank you Lisa for sharing your talents and insight with the everyday woman who don't have a makeup artist at their whim. Her love for makeup really comes through to the viewer. Which is just fabulous. Milena used soft pastel colors and one of her sea shell stencils to create a fast mermaid princess. 46 - Mermaid Step By Step Face Paint Ideas

Egyptian history is rich with kohl, its abundant usage coupled with formulations for lip strainers, and the general open use of makeup. However, in ancient Greece women were excluded from political life and were under the ownership of men, who deemed wearing of rouge “deceiving” and didn’t allow it.
