Elsevier’s Dictionary of Cosmetic Science:

The science of cosmetics, the science of beauty care, beauty culture, is the most ancient art of human history. The ancient Egyptians, 4000 A.D., already had perfumeries for elaboration of natural fragrant essences from plants or animal products, and they had shops where they sold cosmetical preparations. The archaeologists found in the tomb of Tutankhamen – king of Egypt 1361-1352 B.C.) pots with creams for the skin, rouge and dyes for the lips. Favorite colours were dark blue for the lips and green for the eye-region. Looking well, appearing healthy and young, has been the desire of mankind since Greek times. The Greek “Kosmetikós” means skilled in the art of decorating, serving to enhance the beauty of the body, or to improve the personal appearance. Cosmetology is the science of body care, the science of beauty, of hygiene, of physical as well as psychological health. Cosmetology thus is the enhancing expression of positive vanity: a caring vanity, caring for our health, our appearance, and our mood.
