. Almost every woman or girl finds her make-up incomplete without dabbing the face powder. In fact if you ever get a chance to peek inside a girl's purse, you are sure to find a compact or compressed powder. Have you ever wondered what does this "magical" face powder do and how did the women find this piece of make-up? Let us explore...
Face powder has been in existence since ages. It all started when the Egyptian women used to dab their faces with a mixture made up of chalk or clay. The purpose here was not for beauty reasons but the main intention was to stay away from evil spirits. Later, this dabbing of chalk and clay mixture started taking a turn towards beauty and women used to colour their faces to cover up their tan. Also, women from the royal families and those with higher status believed in having their faces painted white. The mixture thus used was highly toxic in nature. In spite of the ill-effects of this toxic mixture, women continued using it as a face powder.
Queen Cleopatra who was known for her beauty, used to use a face powder made out of crocodile excrements. Meanwhile, the women who were less wealthy used to make face powder made out of wheat flour. In China and Japan, the geishas used to colour their face white using rice flour. In 15th century, production of rice and white flour started diminishing because of the growing usage as face powder.
Face powders not only help us look good by enhancing our skin tone but also help us smell good and feel fresh. Since the discovery of face powder, women have ensured to carry it wherever they go and it seems like an inseparable piece of make-up.
With each passing decade, the quality and appearance of the face powder has improved and demand has never gone down so far. Today, face powder is not just restricted for women but babies have their own share and choice of powders to help them smell good and look good.
Now, we have an array of face powders each smelling different from the earlier and each having a separate unique selling point. Can you now imagine a make-up kit without a face powder? Think about it....
