The history of make-up

Hello everyone!

Did you know that make-up has been around for at least 6,000 years?  Throughout history women, and men, have put their health at risk with many homemade cosmetics.  In some cultures, for example, women used arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to look "beautiful".  Thankfully, we've come a long way!  Check out the infographic below to find out where make-up started, and how it got to where it is today.
