Each age has had its own standards: a gleaming white brow during the Renaissance, the black eyebrows considered charming in the early eighteenth century, and the thin lips thought desirable by Victorians. Beauty has ensured good marriages, enabled social mobility and offered fame and notoriety, and has led women – and some men – to remarkable lengths in cultivating it, from the dangerous quantities of lead applied by Elizabeth I, to the women of the 1940s and '50s, who employed face powder, lipstick and mascara to look their best during the privations of war and austerity, creating a chic appearance to which many still aspire. Review: An excellent book! - An excellent book on the history of cosmetics. It is very well written, informative and entertaining. It is a short book, I would have loved to read more, but so engaging I read it all in one sitting. There are also so many great pictures, paintings and cosmetic ads of old. Review: Enjoyed it but I was left wanting to know more! - I was a bit underwhelmed when I saw the size of the book. Very thin and doesn’t have a lot of pages. I still enjoyed reading it... I only wished there was more information. At times the content seemed rushed and some quotes, pictures and stories lacked deeper context. In other words I WANTED MORE, which means it was very entertaining and fun. Definitely worth it if you love make-up, beauty and history. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,432,021 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) #536 in Commercial Fashion #1,000 in Beauty, Grooming, & Style #1,358 in Design (Kindle Store) | ## Images ![Beauty and Cosmetics 1550 to 1950 (Shire Library Book 633) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/915abBxpgXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book! *by M***Y on January 31, 2019* An excellent book on the history of cosmetics.
