Derived from the phrasal verb 'make up' (to compose, invent, or apply cosmetics), which gained currency in the late 19th century. The noun usage specifically for cosmetics solidified in the early 20th century alongside the growth of the modern film and commercial beauty industries, superseding older terms like 'paint' or 'cosmetics' in casual speech.
