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. Nice book with some key history of makeup and the beauty industry, but not a lot of new information (for someone who has already learned a bit of fashion & beauty history). A really fun, curated look at the history of makeup and the cosmetics. You can really see Eldridge’s love of makeup throughout the text and all the anecdotes she shares (and I’m sure there are many, many more she couldn’t fit in).

Face Painting Tutorial: Step by Step for Beginners Ultimate Face Painting Tutorial: Step by Step for Beginners

Many believe that makeup is frivolous or a means to make our appearances look better, or to attract men, etc. We may use makeup for those very reasons, but for many of us it's because we like putting it on for ourselves. This book emphasizes and encourages that. There is plenty of scandal and intrigue- particularly among the cosmetic pioneers like Helena Rubenstein, Estee Lauder, and Charles Revson. The cutthroat competition and pettiness was certainly offputting, but not surprising when you consider the strong personalities involved- and consumer dollars at stake. I felt nostalgic looking at compacts I had seen on my Grandma and Mom's vanities- particularly the Coty Airbrushed Face Powder in the yellow and brown floral container. I still remember the feel of the included powder puff and exactly how it smelled. If you explore the use of makeup through ancient times, it soon becomes clear that the freedom and rights accorded to women during a given period are very closely linked to the freedom with which they painted their faces." -p. 20 The book contained many full-color photographs, including pictures of different products and historical ads. She also included many pictures of trend-setting women throughout history paired with short biographies. I'd recommend this book to people interested in trends in wearing makeup throughout history and how its use became so common in the last 120 years.In addition, Lisa has collaborated with many of the world's top fashion houses on their advertising campaigns and fashion shows including Chloe, Alberta Ferretti, Prada, Donna Karan, Moschino and PPQ. Eldridge also provides photos and short bios of the different muses during the ages: Clara Bow and others for the silent films, also Greta Garbo, Marlene Deitrich, Madonna and some others.

MODIGLIANI, ANTIQUE Oil Painting, Amedeo Modigliani Oil Painting For sale Amedeo Modigliani Italian painter In ancient Egypt, women and men wore makeup freely, and women enjoyed relative parity in terms of legal and economic rights. 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.

The Usborne Book of Face Painting (Usborne How to Guides)

This pregnancy art is ideal for a baby shower gift. I will come to your home or venue in Eastleigh, Southampton, Winchester and surrounding Hampshire areas. Very informative book learned a lot of things I didn't know before. The problem with this book is that it's very west-centric. Makeup in ancient Egypt is described and we get a bit of info about makeup practices in Asia, east-Asia to be more specific but we don't get a complete overall picture of makeup and beauty perceptions in the overall world. London-based makeup artiste, Lisa Eldridge has added another shade to her palette of achievements with her first book, ‘Face Paint: The Story of Makeup’. Instead we see a charming discussion of colour utilisation through the ages, the trends, the socio-political ramifications, the anecdotes. Who would have thought that the use of makeup through ages seemed to coincide with women's rights, and freedom, even if only certain tiers in certain ages? Apparently courtesans and prostitutes not only wore obvious makeup through the ages, but also got accorded more rights than the genteel women. Mo' makeup, did equate to mo' fun! Glitter face paint is especially popular at festivals. Stand out from the crowd with an array of colours and sparkle.Interestingly, courtesans, professional mistresses and prostitutes being afforded more freedom and power than other women (in addition to wearing more makeup) is a pattern that has repeated throughout history,” writes Lisa. 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. I read this book because I am interested in the rivalry between H. Rubinstein and E. Arden. I am curious about the development of cosmetics as a giant industry which is least effected by global economic crisis. I watched Eldridge's interview with a historian about make-up and really liked it. Her newly released book, Face Paint, was the only one available to me so I went for it. I’ve always been interested in history and makeup, so it was only a matter of time for me to start becoming interested in the history of makeup. I was excited when I came across this book, which covers the history of makeup and is written by a well-known makeup artist. Of course, there is only so much history can tell us about makeup depending on the era since it’s based on what was recorded and by who. I do like that Eldridge did talk about this as well as pointed out who was documenting cosmetic use in throughout various eras. It’s an important thing to take into consideration regarding history in general.
