The sun&#8217;s rays peek through the curtain, illuminating the space with a bright and joyful light. Pulling yourself from bed, the next step is the bathroom, it&#8217;s the musty first eye contact with yourself. Every day, gestures follow almost mechanically. And then, a thought arises.

And what kind of makeup will go with it? Is it a day for big eyes or a moment for the cheeks? Have you ever found yourself in front of the mirror, putting makeup on, carefully applying each product, from foundation to blush, then bronzer, and suddenly wondering where this contouring you are creating comes from?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-07c860675bcff54f63ef9ea5917b877f wp-block-paragraph\">We may not think about the history of <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/top-wedding-makeup-trends-for-brides-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">makeup<\/a> as we go through the motions of applying it every day, but it does indeed have a rich and interesting past. Its history dates as far back as prehistoric times, where it was used for ritual purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-21e1809167a285e5d2d2e0d544cefbcd wp-block-paragraph\">Did you know that in ancient <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/from-pyramids-to-paradise-why-you-need-to-visit-egypt-this-summer\/\">Egypt<\/a>, makeup was not just a matter of aesthetics? It served both practical and symbolic functions. Cleopatra herself famously used kohl to line her eyes to offer protection and to ward off evil spirits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3b2086f6f28ab50859a97330cb05c4fc wp-block-paragraph\">As centuries went by, these ritualistic and protective processes gradually gave way to more codified expressions of beauty, especially within the upper classes.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Perfect-Set-to-Love-Ones-Image-in-the-Mirror-1.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"528\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Perfect-Set-to-Love-Ones-Image-in-the-Mirror-1.jpg?resize=480%2C528&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the history of contouring in make up\" class=\"wp-image-175152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Perfect-Set-to-Love-Ones-Image-in-the-Mirror-1.jpg?w=480&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/The-Perfect-Set-to-Love-Ones-Image-in-the-Mirror-1.jpg?resize=273%2C300&amp;ssl=1 273w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-339e428ded2408bcd238ea6d1db97073 wp-block-paragraph\">At the court of France, especially during the reign of Louis XIV, appearance was closely linked to authority. The etiquette of the time required both men and women to have as pale a complexion as possible, enhanced by rouge blush, which symbolised aristocracy and allure. It was only in the 17th century that makeup took on a new role, becoming a tool of social distinction and power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0c284cfec54ff06e146148822aa58b6a wp-block-paragraph\">At that time, pale skin was a subtle (or not so subtle ) way of projecting outwardly that you were rich, as you didn&#8217;t have a suntan from working in the fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-62600e74fa0cae90e6c90da2836e46fc wp-block-paragraph\">Then, the makeup came out of the palaces to make its entrance on stage and on the screen. The advent of black-and-white <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/read-our-piece-monochrome-cinema-back-in-fashion-filmed-in-black-and-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cinema<\/a> transformed it yet again, making makeup a technical necessity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"638\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?resize=580%2C638&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Woman in black-and-white movie\" class=\"wp-image-174944\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?resize=931%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 931w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?resize=273%2C300&amp;ssl=1 273w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?resize=768%2C845&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/History_of_makeup.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-26de4fc8815ab13911c053af977692a3 wp-block-paragraph\">Contouring emerged as a technique that altered the perception of the face by employing contrasts of different shades placed strategically. In this context, the colour choice was surprising: red, orange, and brown appeared black on camera, while blue, pink, yellow, and purple appeared white. Contouring, basically, sculpting in cheekbones and thinning noses, became an essential technique, transitioning from backstage artistry to everyday makeup routines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4158c69e971f8db600fc63da7d87aab7 wp-block-paragraph\">And this idea of contouring and shaping was brought right back into fashion a few years back, but it is definitely here to stay. <a href=\"https:\/\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/the-benefit-of-bouncing-love-to-flutter-your-eyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Benefit<\/a>\u2019s new Hoola Wave bronzer, a creamier take on the original iconic Hoola powder, allows for more versatile application while offering the same sun-kissed finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-c7980acd5cdc5497252c8ed6f8181085 wp-block-paragraph\">This bronzer is available in five shades: Light, Original, Medium, Medium Deep, and Deep.
