Kylie Jenner's Company

Those who don't know Kylie Jenner, she is 21 years old, a celebrity, an entrepreneur, a designer, a network star and a model.

Kylie has a makeup company on her name, where you can find a wide range of products such as lipsticks. I love her products because she always innovates them, and you will not be able to find the same color of lipstick because the company has a huge range of colors.

If you love or know one of the products, write in the comments.

Drag Queens's Makeup

I want to talk about the way drag queens using makeup, which I think is very abnormal. However, before I talk about the subject, I will elaborate on the drag queens.

A drag queen is a character mainly embodied by men dressed in female drag clothes who adopt stereotypical behavior of the female gender in performances, whether for entertainment or political purposes and protest, as in gay events. Drag queens often overdo different aspects of their appearance, mostly in clothing and makeup, for comic, dramatic, or satirical purposes.

As I mentioned, drag queens use makeup in exaggeration for comic, dramatic or satirical purposes, making their makeup unique. But, why do they use makeup that way?

Because makeup (both hair and clothing) is very important for drag queens, it makes the character special and outstanding, which isn't identical to anyone. That's why I like their make-up and think it's special.

Why Did Men Use Makeup in The Past and What Caused The Change?

Hi, I'm Natali Barazani and I going to write about why did men use makeup and why it's interesting to me.

When I was little, I always thought that only women use makeup and when I started to grow, I exposed to a lot of movies, texts, and pictures in which men use makeup. I start to take an interesting in the issue because men present the makeup as a female thing and they think that real man looks natural, not like a doll. But, there were those who opposed this statement and decided to express themselves in this way. So, I want to know why they don't keep using makeup if they use it before.

Makeup has always existed. It was used for camouflage, special rituals, the distinction between friend and enemy, even beauty. Over the years it has evolved from mud and natural extracts to powders and black paint brushes. So it makes sense that men use makeup before, and were found proofs: the Chinese, the Persians, the Greeks, and of course the Egyptians. So why they stopped, the answer lies in the French Revolution. At this time the men were putting a white powder on their faces because the white face was a symbol of noble people, and then they added black spots and pink blush that symbolized health, like a baby's cheek.

But when Marie Antoinette and Louis the 16 received Capital punishment, any sign of the royal family was forbidden, so the men stopped using makeup and began to look more "Masculine".

In the 20th century when makeup was back, the only men who wore makeup were opera singers, rock stars and drag queens. But in recent years an upward trend has begun and many makeup companies are taking men as their presenter. And maybe in a few years, men will be able to express themselves freely when it comes to makeup and still be portrayed as men.
