It wasn't one specific person that invented makeup. Cultures dating back to the early BC's used makeup either to beautify themselves or for rituals.





The Egyptians were well known for their eyeliner and lip colors. Nobility in some cultures powdered their faces to give the appearance of being pale, which was considered a sign of wealth and prestige.What's the history of makeup?
Make-up has a long history dating back to the time of Ezikiel in the Bible. In the Book of Ezekiel 23: 40 face painting is mentioned. It mentions using red, green and white chalk to paint the face.





40 And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come [1] from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments.





Ezikiel 23:40





The Egyptians used make-up around 10,0000 BC. Cleapatra used dyes from the Henna plant , Charcoal and other natural 'paints' to colour their hair and paint their faces.
When the first caveman got tired of looking at his 'wife' and started looking around his 'wife' probably tried mud to make herself more beautiful. This didn't happen but it probably would have made her look better.
