Bronzing Creme Tanning

Bronzing Creme Tanning

What's a good MAC eyeshadow for brown eyes?

I've got a beige complexion somewhat like jessica alba (not super tan but light brown) with brown eyes. I've been deciding between these eye-shadows that would look good on me, I could use for everyday use. Not too light nor too dark.

GREEN:
Humid vs greensmoke?

LIGHTS:
Retrospek vs. Amber lights? (I've got "woodwinked" and I don't want anything too similar to it - i heard retrospek is more orange bronze and amber light is light yellow? Not too sure w. the descriptions)

PURPLES:
Creme de violet vs. Parfait Amour vs sattelite dreams? (too light?)

Wish I can get all but I'm on a budget...gotta pick one each out of these categories and decide from there. You know how MAC is...you go in "checking things out" and by the end of the visit, you end up buying more than what you planned haha
THANKS! Appreciate the feedback ladies!

Bear in mind, you should choose your eyeshadow colours based not just on your eye colour, but also your skintone! You sound like you are warm-toned, so I will make my recommendations based on that.

Greens I'd go with Humid, it's neutral enough for anyone.

For light colours... Retrospeck is a nice colour but it's a LUSTRE finish. IWhich means it's extremely sheer and has little bits of glitter in it. It's nice to use over other colours but as a standalone colour... No. Amber Lights is nice but hard to pull off on its own. I think Romp or Bronze would be a nice complimentary colour to the others I am proposing, and they work wonderfully with brown eyes and warm omplexions.

For purples, I'd pick Parfait Amour if you were cool-toned (as it is a blue-based purple and nicer than Creme de Violet). Since you're warm toned (olive skinned) go with Star Violet, it also looks lovely with brown eyes. Satellite Dreams isn't very pigmented so skip that.

Hope that helps!

Cosmetics Through the Ages

Tens of billions of dollars are spent each year by women around the world on makeup and other cosmetic products Ads promoting hair care products and makeup fill the airwaves and many of today’s bestselling magazines are beauty related.

While today’s cosmetics industry is amongst the most dominant markets, the use of makeup has actually been with us for thousands of years.

The earliest recorded use of makeup involved the Egyptians of the 4th Century before Christ. Scented oils, sheep fat based cremes and eye paint were applied by upper class women to beautify their facial features.

In the following millenniums, women in the Far East, especially the Japanese and Chinese, stained their faces with a powder derived from rice to make their complexions a pasty white, while both men and women of the aristocratic classes in Europe applied white lead and chalk powders to achieve the same ghostly effect. The pale face was desirable, as it differentiated the wealthy from the ‘common’ workers who had sun-bronzed complexions. Another method of obtaining the desired look involved a powder comprised largely of hydroxide, carbonate, and lead oxide, the latter often leading to lead poisoning. During this same period, Greek women applied ocher clay and red iron to their lips – perhaps the first historical lipstick application.

Little changed during the dark centuries of the Middle Ages. Perfumes with alcohol bases were introduced to Europe by Crusaders returning from the Middle East in the 1200’s. In the 1400’s upper class women in England, again seeking a whiter complexion, took to applying egg whites to their faces. But the real emergence of makeup in European society took place commencing in the following two centuries, especially in France and Italy, with the former in particular being responsible for the development of manufacturing facilities for both makeup and perfumes. These were created from aromatic natural ingredients like fruits, tree bark, flowers and roots employing a very laborious blending process that necessitated the use of excessive quantities of these natural ingredients in order to produce very small amounts of products.

The use of cosmetics spread throughout Europe during the next two hundred years, with their use becoming more and more prevalent amongst all but the poorest women. And in the 1800’s, the French began developing more advanced scientific processes for the creation of new cosmetic products, with zinc oxide bases now replacing more dangerous substances such as copper and lead. And the first beauty salons made their appearance towards the end of the 19th century.

It should be noted that that at some times and places, such as in Victorian England of the 19th century, the use of makeup and other cosmetics was frowned upon and seen as proper only for stage actors and the like, being far too ‘vulgar’ for upper class society.

But the birth of the cosmetics industry as we know it today did not take place until the early 1930’s. In large part, Hollywood was responsible. Popular actresses such as Mary Pickford and Jean Harlow appeared on screen before millions of admiring women across America and Europe, introducing a modern tanned look to the masses. And Hollywood makeup artist Max Factor began using pancake make-up and other products to produce desirable looks for the cameras.

Following the end of the Second World War and with the emerging economic boom, came the growth of today’s cosmetics industry, accelerated by the new technology of television. Ads for cosmetic products, especially lipsticks and mascaras, abounded and concurrently came the blossoming of the beauty magazine industry. Since the 1970’s an abundance of new cosmetic products to meet the concerns of a health conscious public have been created, such as natural cremes and conditioners and, more recently, mineral makeup.

There are nowadays countless cosmetic products available to women throughout the world. Billboards, television, magazines, newspapers and the Internet are replete with marketing messages and promotions for every possible type of cosmetic need one can think of. For the consumer, this means both more choice, and lower prices because of the enormous competition for the customer’s dollar. The cosmetics industry has definitely come a long way from the days of sheep fat cremes of the ancient world.
