19TH CENTURY AMERICAN COSMETICS
In America during the 19th century, the use of cosmetics declined. The elderly used them to conceal the marks of age. More soap was used than creams. A combination of land rose water, and coconut milk made a popular hand lotion. Men decided that cosmetics were effeminate and eliminated all cosmetics except hair-dressing. During the Civil War, northern profiteers started the expensive habit of powdering their hair with gold and silver dust. In 1866, it was discovered that zinc oxide could provide an excellent base for face powder. It was safe, held its color, and was low-priced. Between 1880 and 1900, only the least bit of cosmetics was fashionable. The mark of a true lady was her natural, untouched appearance.

On the contrary, cosmetics were worn, which gave the skin a natural healthy glow as well as slight blushing of cheeks and lips. So rouges that gave just a hint of blush were worn.

This was the first time in history that the term "Cosmetics" actually separated into a separate category -from cosmetics being medicinal. This was a considerable change in the makeup/ cosmetics industry. The reason behind it was a result of the continued inoculations and education of smallpox.
