Submission Beauty introduces Dusted Glitters: eco-friendly, plant-based glitter with a fine, soft texture. Available in gold, silver, and bronze, it blends seamlessly into the skin for a delicate, radiant shimmer. Now available online and at Silver Lake boutique.
Makeup has been a part of human history for thousands of years, with the earliest records dating back to ancient Egypt. Around 4,000 BCE, both men and women in Egypt used kohl to darken their eyes, while red ochre was applied to lips and cheeks. As the centuries progressed, makeup spread across various cultures, symbolizing beauty, status, and even protection.
The first person to manufacture makeup on a commercial scale was Eugène Rimmel. In the 19th century, he founded his cosmetics company, Rimmel, in London, England. Rimmel is credited with inventing modern mascara, a product that has since become a staple in makeup routines worldwide. His innovations laid the foundation for the global beauty industry we know today.
Fast forward to the present day, and the makeup industry is a massive economic powerhouse, bringing in over $380 billion annually worldwide. It continues to grow with the rise of influencers, beauty bloggers, and a surge of interest in personalized beauty experiences.
