Archaeologists found 164.000 year old makeup in a South African cave. The makeup, consisting of 57 pieces of ground up rock that would have been reddish or pinkish brown, is called one of three hallmarks of modern life found at the site, and is one of the earliest hints of modern living. Previously, scientists believed that humankind of this time period were not advanced enough for this type of behavior, believing that modern living began approximately 40.000 to 70.000 years ago.

All that started some 12 thousand years ago when Ancient Egyptians discovered healing abilities of scented oils. From that point, their cosmetic industry rose higher and higher to the point when it became important part of their religion. Gods were honored by entire population with large use of cosmetics, almost everyone used oils, eyeliners, and similar products to enhance their look.
