WHO WAS THE INVENTOR OF LIPGLOSS?

RYDERorRIO

IM DOING A PROJECT AT SCHOOL AND NEED TO KNOW THE INVENTOR OF LIPGLOSS! :]

Answer
Lipgloss was invented by Max Factor to make lips shiny for films.
In the 1920s and 1930s, the glory years of Hollywood, Factor became intimately associated with the world of movie make-up. He created the first makeup for the movies in 1914, and coined the term "makeup", based on the verb, "to make up" (one's face).

-- 1914: Created the first makeup made specifically for motion pictures, a thinner greasepaint made in 12 shades. It was in cream form and packaged in jars, as opposed to the thicker stick greasepaints used for theater.

-- 1920: Developed the "Color Harmony" principles of makeup, which held that "certain combinations of a woman's complexion, hair and eye coloring were most effectively complemented by specific makeup shades". Ever have your "colors done"? Thank Max!

-- 1925: Introduces "Max Factor's Supreme Nail Polish", a metal pot of beige-colored powder that's sprinkled on the nails and buffed with a chamois buffer. It gives nails shine and some tint.

-- 1927: Creates "Society Nail Tint", a small porcelain pot containing rose colored cream. Applied to the nail and buffed, it gives a natural rose color. "Society Nail White" also hits the market. It's a tube of chalky white liquid that's applied under nail tips and left to dry. The end result resembles the modern French manicure.

-- 1928: Developed Panchromatic Makeup, made specifically for use in black and white films. It's for this innovation that Max Sr. was awarded an Oscar.

-- 1930: Invented Lip Gloss

-- 1932: Developed a line of "Television Makeup", made specifically to meet the needs of television.

-- 1934: Introduces Liquid Nail Enamel, forerunner of today's nail enamels.

-- 1935: Opened the unique Max Factor Makeup Salon in Los Angeles.

-- 1937: Created PanCake, forerunner of modern cake makeup, originally developed for color films.

-- 1938: Max Factor dies at age 59. His son, Max Factor Jr., takes over the company.

-- 1940: Created Tru Color Lipstick, the first smear-proof lipstick

-- 1948: Developed PanStik makeup

-- 1954: Created Erace, the original concealer, and developed a line of cosmetics specifically for color television's needs. (This line remains the standard for TV makeup).

-- 1971: Invented the first "waterproof" makeup.

"HELP" What should I wear?

Beautifull

I am going to a Ciara & Neo concert tonight, and I don't know what I should wear. I want to look sexy and classy for my husband because we have never been to a concert together before. Any Suggestions on fashion tips?

Answer
These other ladies seem to think you have no confidence. I am sure you know you're the finest thing in the room at all times, but since you asked for advice on what to wear, so here it is.

For a concert, although you might want to look sexy. it's a good idea not to wear stilettos or a miniskirt, because you could fall in the crowd(not classy) and miniskirts are not always safe for public places like that. No one knows it better than coco chanel. Wear a little black dress(hitting right above the knee- NOT strapless) with simple jewelry(white costume pearls- think 1920s), hair either wavy and flowing or in a loose updo, and wear some slightly chunky heels(they're so in right now) in red. Wear red lipstick(depending on your coloring) and red nail polish as well. Nothing more intriguing than an ensemble like that. and for makeup, keep it simple as well. a plain matte color in a color similar or complementary to your skintone with lots of dramatic lashes and simple black liquid liner(not too thick).

if it's cold I recommend a white or red cardigan and nude hose.

This looks is timeless and always classy. Sure to turn heads in the best way.

how did women fashion in the 1920s reflects women rights?

nail polish 1920s image

Kayla Mald

How did it reflect new freedoms many women were enjoying in the twenties?

Answer
The fashions of the 1920's reflect changes which had already begun in the nineteen-teens when women's skirts became a bit shorter and some women began to bob their hair. While the '20's saw these trends carried to extremes never before seen in history, the most dominant theme of women's fashions in the '20's is probably that of overt sexuality.

During this decade, it became acceptable for women to discard their corsets, to wear nail-polish and visible makeup, to show bare arms by day and bare legs anytime. Semi-nudity was flaunted with the conspicuously rolled stockings of the flappers.

Being liberated from corsets and multiple layers of clothing freed women in terms of their freedom of movement, and also freed them from the burdens of buying and maintaining bulky, elaborate clothing. The explicit sexuality of '20's clothing reflected the new social norms of the post First World War era.

what are some good Ideas for 1950s Pin Up Girl Hair?

littlehips

I bought a 1950s style pin up girl costume (army) and i have short chin length type hair and it comes with a hat. Any ideas? Help!!!

Answer
Finger waves were more 1920s, but a much looser version was still around in the fifties. Since you are going as an army chick it would by much more no-nonsense, sensible type of hair.

You could go for a very smoothed bob since you are wearing a hat. You could sweep a bit of hair across you forehead and pin it to make a smooth, cute fringe. (um...bangs?)

Since the hat mostly covers your hair, and you have short hair anyway,
i would think the make uo would be more important, which in the 1950s was glamorous, gorgeous with big red lips, a little blush and blemish free complexion.

heres a website: http://makeup.lovetoknow.com/1950's_Makeup

"Hot Products of the â50s

There were certain 1950âs makeup products that defined the trends of the time. They included:

* Bright Red Lipstick/Nail Polish: Everywhere you went; 1950's women were donning scarlet lips and matching fingernails.
* Pan Cake Foundation: A much-thicker version of todayâs foundation, it covered blemishes and imperfections with a thick coating.
* Liquid Eyeliner: It was a stylish 1950âs makeup trend to wear a thick, bold line across the top eyelid, accompanied by two coats of black mascara.
* Rosy Blush: Two circles on the apples of the cheeks, the blush added back some of the color taken away with the foundation. "

Is it okay to use automotive paint on your nails as an alternative to nail polish?

nail polish 1920s image

James

Answer
Please, if you will, read over these four types of automotive paint. Would you want these toxic paints on your nails? How would you take it off? Homemade paint stripper can be made from either a borax and ammonia mixture or washing soda. These would be extremely toxic for your nails and skin. In a word, please, please - just buy a bottleof nail polish at the drugstore.

"The four basic types of paint available today are: acrylic lacquer, acrylic enamel, acrylic urethane and water-based. Weâll drop âacrylicâ and simply refer to them as lacquers, enamels, urethanes and water-based.

Lacquer-based auto paint was popular between the mid 1920s and 1960s, and is still available today, though it has become illegal in certain areas. Lacquer paint is cheap and goes on easy for the inexperienced painter, plus it provides a nice high gloss. However, it also chips easily being a relatively âsoftâ paint, and it doesnât stand up well to UV and chemicals, making it a short-lived paint job. Lacquer auto paint is available in aerosol spray cans and for use with spray guns, but is not generally recommended.

Enamel paints dry to a hard shell making them tougher than lacquer paints. Professional shops bake on enamel paint in heated bays or "ovens," but enamels are also available in aerosol cans and for use with spray guns. Enamels, while tougher than lacquer, do not lay down as easily as lacquer paint, making them trickier for the Do-It-Yourselfer (DIYer) to apply. This translates to more finishing work. Some enamel colors require a clear topcoat, known as a two-stage system, while others can be used alone, referred to as a single-stage system.

Urethane paints are newer than enamels, are more expensive and more trouble, but they lay down easily like lacquer while having the toughness of enamels. This auto paint requires three products: the color, a reducer to thin the color to the right viscosity for the spray gun, and a catalyst used to accelerate drying time. Once the paint is mixed, it must be used quickly and unused paint must be discarded. Urethane auto paint is highly toxic, and though a facemask is standard for all paint jobs, gloves, coveralls, and a respirator are mandatory for working with urethane auto paint.

Like enamels, urethanes can be used alone or in multi-stage paint systems that utilize a final protective clearcoat. A two-stage urethane paint system is the most recommended system as it provides easy-on paint, minimum finish work, and optimum results: a paint job that, with a little care, can look brand new year after year. Urethane clearcoat is also purchased as three products: clear, reducer and catalyst to be used with a spray gun, though there is form of urethane clearcoat available in an aerosol can.

The newest auto paint technology has brought us non-toxic water-based paints. These paints are the most versatile of all, able to be applied to metal, primer, or to an existing paint job. Water-based auto paint is especially popular for use in adding graphics to a vehicle or motorcycle, but can also be used to paint the entire vehicle. Being non-toxic this choice is perfect for the DIYer to use in the home garage, however it does require a topcoat of clear urethane to protect the paint.

Water-based paint is no doubt the future of the auto paint industry, however the line of colors is still expanding. If looking to add graphics or change your vehicleâs color, water-based auto paint is an option. If looking to re-paint a panel with a need to match factory paint, you might have to wait for the introduction of pre-mixed factory colors, or let a professional shop do the job for you."

Why do women let their fingernails grow?

princess_w

Why do most women have long nails, shape them and paint them? How long has it been a custom in western culture? Does it make their fingers look longer and more elegant? Where does this idea come from?

I'm fascinated by this because, since letting natural nails grow is hard, a lot of women resort to fake nails. I let my own nails grow and get manicures often, I like how they look, but I don't know the origin of this tradition.

Answer
Believe it or not, people have been manicuring their nails for more than 4,000 years. In southern Babylonia, noblemen used solid gold tools to give themselves manicures and pedicures. The use of fingernail polish can be traced back even further. Originating in China in 3,000 BC, nail color indicated one's social status -- according to a Ming dynasty manuscript, royal fingernails were painted black and red. The Egyptians also colored their nails, using red to show the highest social class. It is said that Cleopatra's nails were painted a deep red, whereas Queen Nefertiti went with a flashier ruby shade. In ancient Egypt and Rome, military commanders also painted their nails to match their lips before they went off to battle.

In western culture, long nails are a symbol of femininity, while short nails are a symbol of masculinity. Nail decoration is usually limited to females. In the 1930s, fingernails became scarlet and were grown to extreme length, whilst toenails were contrasted in pink nail enamel. On the cheeks and ear lobes rouge was worn. Eyebrows were plucked to a thinner line in the 1930s than the 1920s. Sometimes they were completely plucked to a thin pencil line substitute, some women even shaved them with disastrous end results as the brows never grew back. There was also a fashion for false eyelashes.

Did Egyptians wear finger nail polish?

nail polish 1920s image

Dqueen

I have seen movies where the actors had on nail polish. And that seems like it would be fake. If so, did men and women both wear it?

Answer
Yes they colored thier nails
No they didn't have nail polish like in the movies


Unlike many other cosmetics that have a history of hundreds or even thousands of years, nail polish (or lacquer, or enamel) is almost completely an invention of twentieth century technology. Nail coverings were not unknown in ancient timesâthe upper classes of ancient Egypt probably used henna to dye both hair and fingernailsâbut essentially, its composition, manufacture and handling reflect developments in modern chemical technology.

www.madehow.com/Volume-1/Nail-Polish.html


There are historic records of nail colouring in ancient societies of China and Egypt, where colour signified social class. In China, it is done by mashing together the petals of impatiens flower and alum. Applying this mixture to nails for a few hours or overnight leaves a color ranging from pink to red.

Originally made of natural pigments, modern nail polish is similar to car paint, and requires a polish remover such as acetone to remove. Modern nail polish was invented by Michelle Ménard in the early 1920s.
