This year’s science fair I will be creating a couple of makeup products. I will be making makeup wipes and lipstick made of crayons. Also I will be comparing how homemade makeup products work to store bought products. In doing so, there will be some research to be done about the history of makeup and how the ingredients for these products will work to do their job. Makeup has been part of human kind for thousands of years. Ancient Egyptians used copper and lead to make some of the world’s first cosmetic. Over the past yeas, women have used matches that were burned to darken their eyes. Also using different types of berries to stain their lips and using young boys urine to fade their freckles. Some even swallowed ox blood to attempt to improve their complexions. Women throughout the time of history have put their own health at risk with homemade cosmetics. For example, using arsenic, lead, mercury, and even leeches to give themselves a pale appearance that was so longed for. By the first century AD, the Romans started to widely use cosmetic like products. For darkening eyelashes and eyelids they used Kohl. For whitening their complexion they used chalk and rogue was used on the cheeks. To clean their teeth they used depilatories and pumice. In a Greco-Roman society women wore white lad and chalk on their faces. The Persian women of this time use henna dyes to stain their faces and skin. They believed that the dyes from henna summoned the majesty of the earth. During the…
a new wax, one created by crystallizing sperm whale oil, became available. This new wax didn’t wasn’t malodorous, and generated a noticeably brighter light than other known waxes.The 19th century provided quite a bunch of important advancements for the candle industry. A modernized candle-making machine was invented by Joseph Morgan in 1834. This machine supplied an availability of unceasing manufacture-ment with the use of a piston to expel solid wax from cylindrical molds. In the 1850’s,…
You will also need a couple peg boards to put the beads on and make your design. An iron, wax paper and masking tape to help finish your design and mend it together. Also, you will need either a pencil or pen for later to puncture the masking tape. If desired for easier placement of the beads on the pegboard, you may want to use tweezers, but the tweezers are not required. The final tool you will need is a heavy book or two to place on top of your design as it cools so it does not warp. The…

Modern technology has introduced greater efficiencies and quality control in candle making. Most candles are still made through the timeless process of placing a cotton wick into wax, which is then molded, dipped, extruded, pressed, rolled, drawn, or filled into a desired shape and size. Many of these timeless methods have been updated by using machines to do many of the repetitive tasks. The dipping method is still commonly used, but it has been adapted to entirely automated installations…

However, after going through the readings throughout this semester my position has changed on my monoculture habituation. It turns out that monocultures pose a lot of threats and with one single variety we…
