Sally Pointer's The Artifice of Beauty has some recipes for making various kinds of cosmetics. Some of the things the Romans used are not considered safe for use today, but in many cases, she lists viable (and safe) alternatives to lead oxide based things, for example. My wife makes some of them, and they are very effective at temporarily coloring skin.
