2,000 year old makeup looks a lot like the 20 year old makeup under the bathroom sink!
It is still so amazing to me that those cultures were so advanced.

I’ve had girlfriends who left makeup around for almost (but not quite) that long. I’m like, how many shades of whatever this is do you even need?

I wonder what kind of ingredients were in those?
Some makeup has been made with very toxic ingredients. Toxic belladonna was used around the eyes to dilate the pupils.

Did they have Drag-Queen gladiator nights back then?

IIRC, in the 18th Century, French courtiers wore makeup that contained arsenic. Part of the reason (again, if I understand right) was to make the skin more luminous under candle light.

It also can redden the complexion.

The farts were drowned out by their incessant harping to their drivers about stopping to ask for directions.

“I’m like, how many shades of whatever this is do you even need?”
I learned very early on that when a woman stops at the makeup section to find something to do for awhile. They have to look at and sample every shade carried. Then they wander to the perfume. They can blow an entire day just on the makeups and perfumes.
