It is entirely possible that cosmetics have been a part of human existence for a very long time. If earlier societies used things like berries to stain their lips and cheeks, for example, this would not survive at archaeological sites, as the evidence would have long since decayed. The use of cosmetics was widespread enough by 4000 BCE for archaeological sites to include makeup containers

Women have worn makeup ever since there WERE women. The ancient Egyptians wore it. (In ancient Egypt everyone--men, women and children, of all social and economic classes--wore makeup.) Lysistrata quoted "cosmetics dusting beauty" as one of her weapons in her battle to end the Peloponnesian War. Women in the Bible--admittedly, the kind of women one wouldn't take home to Mother--wore it.
