Discover How Makeup Trends Changed and Evolved Through History

— March 14, 2013 — Fashion
The 'History of Makeup' infographic follows the historical evolution of makeup trends and practices over time, starting from the first recorded use of makeup with the Ancient Egyptians.

While the methods of application and the ingredients have changed drastically through the years, the one thing that remains consistent is that women always seem to want to change their natural colorings. Strange hair dyes, eye pencils, powders and blushes have been applied, some of which turned out to be incredibly toxic and harmful to the skin. Those old techniques may seem strange today, but the current use of Botox injections and eyelash curlers could be considered appalling.

Nevertheless, the history of makeup trends is highly intriguing.
Trend Themes
1. Evolution-of-makeup-trends - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop sustainable and non-toxic makeup products that align with evolving consumer preferences for natural and eco-friendly beauty.
2. Changing-methods-of-application - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative makeup application tools and techniques that enhance convenience, precision, and efficiency for consumers.
3. Shift-towards-enhancement-procedures - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore safer and less invasive alternatives to traditional enhancement procedures like Botox injections, offering natural-looking results without harmful side effects.
Industry Implications
1. Beauty-and-cosmetics - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Innovate and transform the beauty industry by prioritizing sustainability, safety, and eco-consciousness in the development of makeup products and practices.
2. Consumer-products - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop consumer-friendly makeup application tools and accessories that cater to changing trends and consumer demands for convenience and efficiency.
3. Aesthetic-medicine - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Lead the aesthetic medicine industry by researching and developing safer and more effective non-invasive enhancement procedures for beauty-conscious consumers.
