Outline for my final project

introduction:
in the fashionable time, more and more people start to use cosmetics to help them or keep them have a nice skin. In this writing paper I will introduce some cosmetics information. In my opinion, Korea cosmetics is better for Asian people and Korea cosmetics companies use more natural materials to make cosmetics. That is better to use. So, I will also introduce three Korea cosmetics brand in this essay and introduce some of their famous products.

body:
first of all Let get know about what is cosmetics. Cosmetics are substances used to enhance the appearance or odor of the human body. Cosmetics include skin-care creams, lotions, powders, perfumes, lipsticks, fingernail and toe nail polish, eye and facial makeup, towelettes, permanent waves, colored contact lenses, hair colors, hair sprays and gels, deodorants, hand sanitizer, baby products, bath oils, bubble baths, bath salts, butters and many other types of products. A subset of cosmetics is called "make-up," which refers primarily to colored products intended to alter the user’s appearance. Many manufacturers distinguish between decorative cosmetics and care cosmetics. < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmetics>
Now, most of the people use cosmetics to keep their life better . Everyone has a different demand on what the need. Some of them need a beautiful skin. Some need a fashionable out looking. So the cosmetics become a very big business in the world. In Asian, people more like to use the cosmetics from Korea and Japan. In this two country, Cosmetics are their main business.

Skin Food's logo, as seen on all of their products, is a guardian angel. The logo was designed to convey the message to their customers of the purity and goodness in their products.The logo was actually taken from another company and then altered to avoid any legal actions. In addition, the logo also connote that Skin Food is like a guardian angel sent to protect and carefully guard your skin towards a healthier skin.
