## Description

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.

Review: Lisa Eldridge Wisdow - For someone who loves a bit of history, Lisa Eldridges wisdom and collectibles are a treat. This book is for all who want to understand a little about the origins of makeup and enjoy a good read.
Review: An amazing introduction to the history of makeup! - This book is so good! It covers some of the major trends in makeup (red lipstick, black eyeliner, foundation, etc.) since time immemorial, and the pictures in the book are beautiful. It doesn't go into detail about each era, as it would probably take several books to do that. It's a great overview and very nicely written. A must-have for anyone who is into makeup. Lisa Eldridge is amazing!
