Beauty and Cosmetics, 1550-1950

"Small and compact, this wonderfully illustrated book describes the standards of beauty popular in each era, from 1550 when alabaster brows were highly prized, to the black eyebrows that were favored by 18th century women. As with all Shire books, Sarah Jane Downing's trip through time provides us with brilliant insights... I give the delightful "Beauty and Cosmetics 1550-1950" four out of five Regency tea cups." - Vic Sanborn, "Jane Austen's World"
