Women In The Ancient Egypt Era

In 4000 BC, women in the ancient Egyptian era would use a mix of copper and lead as makeup. Ancient Chinese people would paint nails to distinguish between social classes. The lower class people were not allowed to wear nail color while the upper class people would wear gold and silver (“A History of Cosmetics from Ancient times”). Given the chance to become entrepreneurs, beauty arose as one of the jobs given to women in the end of the nineteenth century. Sarah Walker and Martha Harper were both important examples of self-made beauticians. Walker introduced her own hair products such as shampoos and hair irons. Harper created the first reclining shampoo chair for beauty salons when she opened her first salon in 1888 (Chiarelli).
