High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Foundation is a flesh-toned cosmetic applied to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, and, sometimes, to change the natural skintone. Foundation applied to the body is generally referred to as body paint. The use of cosmetics to enhance the complexion has been known since antiquity. From “face painting”, mentioned in the Old Testament to ceruse, a lethal mixture of mercury and lead popular in the 16th century, modern foundation can trace its roots to Carl Baudin of the Leipzeiger Stalt theatre in Germany. In desiring to conceal the joint between his wig and forehead, he developed a flesh-colored paste made of zinc, ochres and lard. This formulation was so popular with other actors that Baudin began producing it commercially, and, as such, gave birth to the first theatrical makeup (“greasepaint”).
