Enhancing the face is an essential part of fashion across time and around the world. This course offers a broad survey of the history of makeup, from ancient Egypt and the Indus valley to the 21st century, and across the globe. Included are discussions of makeup material culture—what pigments and materials did people use to colour and accentuate their faces? What parts of the face were highlighted and why? 

How did styles of makeup change over time? The varieties of containers of glass, ceramics and paper to hold makeup will be examined. We will also explore the history of the mirror—that other essential tool for painting one’s face.

Various cultures held conflicting opinions on the propriety of makeup, based on age, class, gender and religion and these moral concerns will be studied. Many makeup traditions began with the facial enhancements required for performance on stage and the course will look at the influence of stage and film on 20th-century makeup in North America and Europe.

The course will address the question: Is 21st-century makeup global or local or both?
