- Face Paint The Story Of Makeup By Lisa Eldridge
- Makeup~ as we know it~ has only been commercially available in the last 100 years~ but applying decoration to the face and body may be one of the oldest global social practices. In Face Paint~ Lisa Eldridge reveals the entire history of the art form~ from Egyptian and Classical times up through the Victorian age and golden era of Hollywood~ and also surveys the cutting-edge makeup science of today and tomorrow. Face Paint explores the practical and idiosyncratic reasons behind makeup’s use~ the actual materials employed over generations~ and the glamorous icons that people emulate~ it is also a social history of women and the ways in which we can understand their lives through the prism and impact of makeup.
