To answer my question I had to research how people did there makeup through the decades my aim though doing this research was to see how far we have come in makeup and if what we do now is similar to what people have done in the past. I conducted my research on line by using websites and picture. I used these methods of research because it is easily accessed and is easy to find the information I needed.

Eye brows are a very important part of you face they frame your face often filled in to make them look fuller. Foundation is the same shade as your face. Contouring is a popular trend that is used to slim the face by using a darker powder in the hollows of the cheeks. Highlighting the cheek bones give you a healthy glow and bring out your cheek bones.
In conclusion, I feel like makeup has changed dramatically in some ways and hasn’t changed at all in others over the past 65 years. The point of putting makeup on has remained the same to look good. Trends can change really fast and will continue to change in 10 years will be doing our makeup different to how we do it now. With technology trend are changing a lot faster than they used
