that video of the girl who actually went to a scientist to see what actual lead makeup looks like and at the end she said "oh I totally would have worn lead makeup back then" lmfao

I remember reading that for a short time it'd look like skin but as the lead damages their skin it starts to look like the first image as they cake it on to try get the same effect.

You guys don’t understand… If lead makeup looked bad, then they would of used makeup without lead. The lead makeup just looked a lot better. People were even paying a whole lot more for it to have lead, because how well it covered scars, and it looked beautiful in lighting.

This is what lead makeup looked like on. This is makeup historian Erin parsons wearing lead makeup her and a makeup chemist made from an old formula. It is on the left side of her skin it was very sheer and made the skin subtly appear lighter

It was definitely both, most likely started out pretty subtle but as their skin was damaged more and more over time due to lead poisoning they would use more and more makeup to hide the “imperfections”

Paintings are false narrators. They often made people more beautiful because they’d be praised for skill.

both actually. yes they used it because it looked like the second, but with how it damaged the skin over time it would look more like the first

So that’s an artists rendition of it? Yeah I’m sure they weren’t gonna draw the royals looking crusty…. That doesn’t mean it was ACTUALLY pretty…

the first one is the most accurate. Of course they painted them prettier and with "filters" 😔

Coping Cabin Co. :
Women likely needed less makeup in their youth, but as they aged, developed wrinkles, or experienced skin damage, they may have layered on more to maintain the fashionable porcelain complexion. Ironically, the lead-based makeup could cause further skin damage, creating a vicious cycle of using more makeup to conceal the effects of the makeup itself.

Hey so back then their paintings had the best photo shop in the world called “I’m paying you” so we can’t 100% trust every painting for things like skin or makeup texture 🥰
