Counterargument:

Although the makeup artistry industry had its biggest evolution in the 20th century, the artistic beauty trends it came out with affected the way people observe art.

(I mean that this makeup trends celebrities created made people think that this is the art and if you’re not following such trends you’re not beautiful. (it changed beauty perspectives to people) ).

 

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the artistic style of photography development during the 20th century affected the usage of the color theory and artistry in the makeup industry. When celebrities went out on cinemas and movies with such makeup, they created beauty trends, and this essay will discuss the value of art to people and society and how art can affect them.

Also, a brief history of cosmetics at that period of time will be discussed to show that following artistic makeup trends wasn’t always safe.
