Women from that era looked very similar, with parted hair, a red dot on their foreheads, toe rings and braided hair. Their Betel Nut tinted lips and Beetroot tinted cheeks made them look as if they were wearing makeup, since that’s all the enhancement their beautiful skin required. Their bright, kohl-rimmed eyes were a result of black Bhasma from the burnt edge of Almonds or soot from pure Ghee filled, earthen Diyas. At Forest Essentials, these rituals have come alive in the Natural Makeup Collection with the Gulaab Khaas Kajals, crafted with a special traditional Rose Petal formulation and the Madhu Rasa Tinted Lip Serums with fresh fruits, flowers and hand-pressed virgin oils.
Beautifully put!!
In ancient India, makeup and cosmetics were integral to both daily life and religious rituals. Indian women used a range of natural products to enhance their appearance, including kajal (a form of eyeliner made from soot and ghee) to accentuate the eyes, and bindi (a decorative mark on the forehead) to signify various cultural and religious meanings. They also used henna to create intricate designs on the hands and feet, often for special occasions and ceremonies. Turmeric and sandalwood pastes were applied to brighten the skin and improve the complexion. Cosmetics were deeply embedded in cultural practices, symbolizing beauty, social status, and spiritual beliefs.
