Makeup has been used since ancient times, where women and men used natural pigments for ceremonial purposes. During Roman and Greek times, women used chalk and other dyes to make themselves prettier.

The first evidence of makeup appeared in ancient Egypt in about 4,000 BC. Apparently Egyptian makeup served to protect against the weather and to better their looks. They used uguent to moisturize the skin and kohl to highlight their eye features. One can see from surviving paintings and busts that both men and women used makeup with special attention being paid to the eyes.

So important was makeup to the Egyptians that people were buried with their makeup equipment when they died. Excavations have revealed makeup kits stored in leather pouches, shells or jars in the tombs of rich and poor alike. Of course the latter had much simpler paraphernalia.

Ancient Egyptians started to use black eyeliner.. so basically you could say they invented it. Later on, other forms of makeup appeared.
