Makeup History: The Early 19th Century
Imagine your life with out makeup…it would be crazy right?!?! In the 19th century, it was embarrassing to admit you even wore makeup or be seen at a salon. Like Mahya Cosmetics, they thrived on the idea of natural beauty so if they used makeup, it was to look as real as possible. Unlike Mahya Mineral Makeup, they weren’t using 100% crushed minerals; instead they would use either chemical pact products or food colorings found in the typical kitchen.
One major difference in the skin that is obvious from the 19th century to now is the fact they were so pale and we have so much more sun tan on our faces. With paleness, women were considered fragile and too good to work. Women with a tan obviously were frowned upon as it seems they had been working in the fields. They would even go over board as to painting their neckline with blue fine lines to enhance the effect of how light and translucent their skin was, making veins visible. Wow, now that’s crazy!
A few ways to enhance their beauty with what little they had back in the day were: darkening their eyelashes with burnt matchsticks, used poppy petals to stain the lips, and stick on rouge for their cheeks.
It wasn’t only until 1909 that makeup no longer was hidden and an under the counter process. Selfridges opened in London’s Oxford Street and openly sold cosmetics. All could see the small variety offered and with out shame, shop for their so long wanted items. Although, makeup was available the colors used were still not intense and they kept the look very natural. In 1910 Sergei Diaghilev’s Russian ballet influenced women’s wardrobe and makeup greatly. The ballet inspired outfits were very vibrant and beautiful, thus influencing the makeup to be more glamorous and over the top. This era lasted shortly until women began to wear makeup again in the 1920’s. This also was the time when proven nourishing creams and lotions were invented besides the ones women had already made for them selves at home.
Of course, makeup was never worn how we use and depend on it now a days but it was still very much used with stars that set the trend for a lifetime such as Veronica Lake (which picture is shown below). Always love what has naturally been given to you at birth however, know there is nothing wrong with naturally enhancing your beautiful features with Mahya Mineral Makeup.
