In history, the Greeks used white lead powder, chalk, and creams as foundation to lighten their skin tone. Today, depending on the type, makeup can be water-based, oil-based, alcohol-based, silicone-based or powder based. Loose powder foundation or mineral makeup is mainly comprised of earth-based ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.
