When did women start wearing make up?

Have you ever wondered when was the starting point of make up and cosmetics? There is evidence that the use of cosmetics dates from ancient Egypt and Greece.

In ancient Egypt, early major developments include the use of castor oil as a protective balm and skin creams  made of beeswax, olive oil, and rosewater described by the Romans. 

Women used to make up in ancient Greece, too. While they were getting ready to go out, they sometimes used to put white powder on their faces to make their skin look lighter.
