Lights Out Library: Sleep Documentaries
History of Cosmetics, From Antiquity Down to Our Days
Tonight’s episode is a remastered version of one of the first stories ever released on the podcast. The original version covered cosmetics and perfumes; in this new version we expanded the history of cosmetics and left the history of perfumes for a future story. The new material covers the influence of Hollywood and flapper culture, women who helped build the modern beauty industry, dangerous cosmetics and the rise of regulation, makeup during World War II, and the changing beauty culture of the 1950s and 1960s. We also explore the history of cosmetics, as we did in the original story, from ancient pigments and Egyptian kohl to Japanese beauty traditions, and more.
