‘A woman without paint is like food without salt’ Plautus (c254-184BC) - it would appear that makeup (paint) was a ‘must have’ from the very early ages.  Throughout the centuries, women (and men) have adorned and painted their faces in an effort to make themselves look and feel beautiful, enhancing or altering certain features and hiding others.
