Announcing this great initiative, executive director and co-founder of the Makeup Museum, Doreen Bloch was quoted in WWD as saying, “The Makeup Museum is a critical institution for the cultural landscape in New York and globally. Makeup has a 10,000-year history, spanning from the ancient Egyptians and the kohl eye liner they used to kabuki and geisha makeup in Japan, all the way to drag makeup and the influence it has today on pop culture.”
Bloch further states that the museum will start with the decade because it is credited as the birth of modern makeup industry with the creation of famous brands like Elizabeth Arden and trends like cat-eye and a bold red lip. A number of beauty executives and makeup artists are coming together to grace the museum. The Makeup Museum will open in 2020 at the Meatpacking District. Tickets reportedly range from $23 (approximately Rs 1,600) to $45 (Rs 3,200 approx).
