Today, a great percentage of women apply makeup daily. There is a simple reason for this: they want to look good. The subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) touches of pigment and shade can make a huge difference. They can hide flaws in the skin and enhance the natural appearance of certain facial features.
Call it vanity, if you must, but spending quality time in front of a mirror is a daily ritual millions of women can't do without, whether they're preparing for an average day at work, a big event, or a date with that special someone. It all goes back to the ancient Egyptians, who were the first women to wear makeup.

I learned at the UVA that the first use was probably done to protect the eyes from insects. It's debatable and in this instance I think Neatorama might be wrong. It simply can't be proven due to the lack of anything written during this period.
