Makeup has been used for over 6,000 years but has changed significantly over time, especially in Indian movies.

Makeup in 1950s films featured much heavier use of cosmetics like thick kajal lining the eyes, long dangling earrings, and decorations in hair and on the nose, but these styles have mostly disappeared from modern movies.
