The history of make up part 2

The Seventeenth century saw the English and French make up become similar,face painting has mainly been used by sophisticated society and in larger cities,people who lived in the country used little or no powder and paint and lead healthier lives.
As the fashionable ladies in England and France courts used more make up they started puttong patches on their faces,the patches were designed in stars,half moons and round shapes they were cut out of black taffeta spanish leather or gummed paper these patches were useful for covering scars,skin afflications gradually became more excessive as women used more patches at a time.

Famous portraits between 1670 1685 show the fashionable look was a wide fleshy face with a double chin,prominent eyes,full red lips, dark eyebrows and dark hair.The eighteenth century,shows that the ladies at court continued to use heavy make up they also powdered their shoulders and accentuated veins on the bosom with blue.

By this time there was some publicity about the dangers of using white lead paint it was also proven that this eventually killed people,women still used it in England and France from where most of the cosmetics came from.

The Nineteenth century
After the french revolution anything associated with the aristocracy went out of fashion,wigs and long hair were out and most men had short hair and began to grow sideburns and moustaches,then by the middle of the century beards had come into fashion.
Women wore make up more discreetly,when Queen Victoria came to the throne there was a complete reaction against using paint on the face,many cosmetics were home made,powder ,creams and lotions were all that they used only stage actors and courtesans applied paints,meanwhile the men grew large handlebar moustaches with curled ends.The women had long hair which was worn up in rolls and curls.
