CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
In ancient times, Egyptians use berries, lead ore and copper in producing
cosmetic products. The history of make-up truly changes over time. There were
times when makeup becomes dangerous, but people are lucky enough to live
today and not in the past. The very first women wear make-up were the ancient
Egyptians dating back to at least 7000 years ago. During the Victorian Era,
makeup cosmetics were embraced and developed better by the Europeans. The
development they made includes eye shadow that can be dated back to 12000
years ago from ancient Egypt. Eye shadow and lipstick were the oldest types of
makeup products.
Make-up has been used for a very long period of period, which spans from
7,000 years ago up until now. Cosmetic body art envolved into face make-up.
Since rituals need cosmetic body art, early human culture thinks something out of
it and decided to apply it on their faces and that is when face make-up started.
Artifacts from Egypt and Greece have been found by archaeologists, which dates
back around ancient times. That evidence means make-up has been around for
a long period. There is a book that proves the existence of make-up a very long
time ago. The old testament - 2 Kings 9:30 where Jezebel painted her eyelids -
approximately 840 BC and another one is from the book of Esther that mentioned
other beauty treatments. Ancient Rome used make-up too, although it was
1
disapproved of by Roman works of literature. Women from that era were said to
be the inventors of make-up.
It said that women in Egypt have their version of eyeshadow wherein it is
made up of a crushed concoction of copper lead and a vivid green mineral called
malachite. The country of China became the most notable eras for make-up. It is
said that they applied the “foundation” for them to distinguish themselves as
working class. They also mastered the art of lipstick. It is said that Greek women
have the idea of “all-natural” make-up looks for women. But it leads to the use of
poisonous ingredients to cover up discoloration. It is also said that women, can
wear any kind of make-up because make-up history has given us an idea or
influenced us. It stated that during 1158 C.E. women used a substance called
“ceruse” wherein it is made up of vinegar and poison that may lead to skin
damage and sometimes it may lead to death.
Using make-up often will have a higher risk of skin disease by using
make-up every day. At a young age of using make-up, women have the highest
risk of having acne. Make-up will give you a risk of eye infection or more
problems on the face. Using make-up can affect the development of the
hormones or can damage it. The chemical in the make-up will affect the skin of
the user because of that they will have skin infection because of the chemical in
it.
Some girls are scared to show their bare image because of what other
people tell them in social media, that’s why they always use make-up. Women
2
use make-up to hide their true selves. There’s a lot of things to do while applying
make-up and if they are not satisfied with their look, they will not stop yet and that
is wasting a lot of time. They wear make-up because they always think about
what people say and to hide their true colors. Some girls can express themselves
more and remove fear while having a face to face talk with other people when
wearing make-up. Simply because wearing make-up can give them self-
confidence.
The reason why women wear make-up is to lessen their anxiousness to
not get judged by their natural appearance in society. While women who want
attention and appear better in the eyes of society wear make-up because they
feel comfortable when wearing make-up and they also feel more seductive. At a
very young, girls are taught that wearing make-up can lead them to success in
everything in life. It includes dating, job interviews and getting pretty friends. Two
universal characteristics make women attractive that can be accentuated. It is the
color tone around the eyes to look glowing and on the lips to look healthier. And
another factor is the face shape and fairness. To achieve a good impression,
people shouldn’t cover their faces with makeup but simply enhance their natural
beauty.
They use make-up for them to express themselves and also to boost their
self-esteem. Based on the studies wearing make-up doesn’t define your self
beauty but others said that natural beauty is the best kind of beauty. But
3
according to others, they describe “make-up” as an art. They wear make-up to
feel more comfortable in their skin.
Through the use of make-up, it helps women to think well and enhance
their decision making. It is said that wearing make-up can help them to boost
their self-confidence as well as self beauty, as a result it can give you a
presentable look. By the use of make-up, it builds up self-confidence towards the
people you interact with. Also by wearing make-up, it enhances your self-
confidence that you could get an acknowledgment while you interact with one
another.
This descriptive study is conducted to understand the culture of make-up
and to know if wearing make-up is effective in boosting the self-confidence of an
individual. Another reason is to learn more and explore this topic. Also to know
why women wear make-up as a form of expression on their own opinion and
perspective in beauty. One more thing is to figure out if the usage of make-up is
truly affecting one’s self-esteem and to know the views of other people towards
those who wear make-up daily because of certain reasons like going to work, to
school or just hanging out with some friends.
