Makeup originally comes from the ancient egyptians. They used to use copper and lead to create the world first cosmetic! Now we have the scientifically advanced products that can cover pores, eliminate dark circles and smooth complextions. Makeup has been a part of humankind for thousands of years! (i didnt know it was that long :o!!) Over the years woman have used burnt matches to darken their eyes and berries to stain their lips. They even used little boys urine to fade their freckles. Many woman have put theresleves at risk with many of their homemade cosmetics. In some cultures, for example, women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves the pale appearance deemed beautiful in the old days. Thankfully, we've come a long way from the days of using toxic and deadly mixtures to enhance our looks. Today's multibillion dollar cosmetic industry must meet strict government regulations about what it can and cannot include in products and must follow safe manufacturing guidelines. Yet, despite decades of safety testing and a safety record unparalleled in many industries, there are many myths circulating about the dangers of cosmetic ingredients.
