Elizabethan Era Makeup

Queen Elizabeth IA woman with a high forehead was considered beautiful during the Elizabethan era, and upperclass Elizabethan women plucked or shaved their frontal hairs to achieve this look.  These women also covered their skin with lead based makeup which caused many deformities from chronic eye problems to disfiguring scarring which in turn required a greater application of the lead based makeup.

The wealthy used belladonna eyedrops to dilate their pupils which gave them that doe-like appearance but the risk was great. In the court of Louis XVI, noblewomen drew blue veins onto their necks and shoulders to emphasize their exalted status.

Ladies in this century were more discreet and despite a gradual acceptance of makeup it was still not considered nice to admit to its use.  These women liked to preserve the myth of being naturally beautiful much like some of today’s Hollywood’s film stars who will not admit to cosmetic surgery.

As we look through history we can see the comparisons with the status of women in all classes.  The quest for beauty continues at whatever costs.

I haven’t noted it for that 1st couple of times, now I’m using it every morning to verify on any updates. I’m on a truly slow dial-up connection in Kentucky and it’s pretty baffling to sit there and wait for such a extended time ’til the page loads… but hey, I just discovered your rss page and added it for the Google Reader and voil? – I’m often up-to-date! Well pal, maintain up the good function and make that rss button a little bigger to ensure that other people can get pleasure from that as perfectly :-P

    Cosmetic surgery together with non-surgical treatments are very popular nowadays. Everybody seems to enjoy the “secret of eternal youth” but they miss an important point. Very often people tend to look just at the price and nothing else. It’s very important to find out more about the practitioner first, about his/her background and skills not at the deal that is presented otherwise people could end up with a very miserable result.
