Reddit mentions of Fashions in Makeup: From Ancient to Modern Times

Well, I knew about three, but since no one recommended any, here they are!

• Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup by Gabriela Hernandez
  
  
• HISTORY OF COMPACTS AND COSMETICS: From Victorian Times to the Present Day by Madeleine Marsh - the author of this book talked about the history of makeup in two of Lisa Eldridge's videos, and it was incredibly interesting! ( Video1 Video 2 )
  
  
• Fashions in Makeup: From Ancient to Modern Times

  All of these are on my wishlist, but I hoped to add some cool other books that I hadn't heard of. :)

I did a search in my local library system's catalog, and found that they have a couple copies of this book, which is Western focused but claims to have some info about other countries as well. Since it's expensive, I would suggest seeing if your library has any copies, or ask your library's reference desk where to find books on beauty and makeup so you can browse that section. If you're a university student, you'll probably have access to more options with an academic focus. Fashion books might have information as well and seem to be more abundant.

I found these searching 'history of makeup' and look like the could help. There were several others as well which might be better. If amazon.com doesn't have them like amazon.can does you could check bookstores or eBay by searching for their actual titles instead. Looking closer I realize they're not exactly cheap, checking for cheaper ones on eBay might help with that, I find eBay can be a lot cheaper than amazon sometimes
