When did people first start using makeup? No one is 100 percent sure.
The first archeological records of clear makeup use come from Ancient
Egyptian and Sumerian tombs dating as far back as around 3500 BC. They
used soot and other natural ingredients to paint their faces, and even
had specialized tools to apply their makeup.
However, paints and other means of self-decoration date back tens of thousands of years. Archaeological sites in South Africa provide evidence that body paint may have been used over 50,000 years ago, suggesting people painted their bodies before they even wore clothes. Even our closest relatives, the Neanderthals, may have worn makeup and jewelry.
