Foundation comes from what?

Foundation is the skin coloured Cream that is used to make women or sometimes men look better or hide Blemishes.Foundation originally came from the ancient Greeks the more wealthy ones who wanted to look more superior then the rest of the people it was used by women and men at this time as the Greek women liked a paler look. They used white chalk and white lead powder. Later in the years Romans started to get into the more cream Foundation which was made up of animal fat, starch and tin oxide.The Tin gave it a bit of colour and the animal fat gave it the creamy effect. As we go through time Foundation changed and so did peoples ideas of what they wanted although for a very long time women still wanted pale skin for different reasons like in the middle ages women thought that if you were dark you were seen as an outdoor worker. During the Elizabethan time women wore a mixture of Lead and Vinegar which many men and women died from as it literally melted the face after a while.
