Liquid foundation
Women firstly started using foundation in Ancient Egypt in a form of a white powder or paste, but the inventor of modern foundation is Carl Baudin of the ’’Leipziger Stadt’’ theatre in Germany. He wanted to conceal the joint between his wig and forehead, so he created a skin-colored paste made of zinc, ochre, and lard. This paint became so popular with other actors that he started selling it commercially until the Max Factor developed ’’ Flexible Greasepaint’’ in 1914.
