Cream foundation
Cosmetics include the materials used to improve the appearance and care of the skin and the foundation cream is the main cover that extends to the skin of the face to conceal its flaws and improve the appearance.
History of the foundation cream
The use of cosmetics and primer creams started in 200 BC. Ancient Greek women applied lead powder and chalk to lighten the skin. The rich Romans preferred lead paste to whiten their skin. Men also wore makeup to soften their skin tone. Use white lead powder and chalk and use all creams. To whiten the skin, creams consisted of animal fat, starch and tin oxide.
In the Middle Ages in Europe, it was considered fashionable for women to have pale skin and the pale face was indicative of the upper social class as opposed to the tanned woman. It was considered of the lower class and in the Elizabethan era women also applied egg whites on their faces to create shiny skin and used white bullets Led to the deaths of many men and women due to lead powder.
In the 18th century, Louis V Nest made it fashionable for men to wear lead powder on their faces and the playwrights put on their faces a dense white base.
To the fact that we have reached the present day and has been several manufacturers of cosmetics, topped by foundation creams and the most famous brands now Max Factor, Maybelline and Borgwas and many more.
