blackbeltkitten2:vinceaddams:I’m glad I have such a round face and narrow-ish shoulders, it makes me very well suited to the early 18th century.:OCurious, where did you get your makeup? I’ve been looking around, and I am unsure what to get, and I have yet to find some recipes to make my own (Sans lead and cadmium)I got it from LBCC Historical on etsy. I shall leave links to all the things I am wearing:18th century white face paintLiquid rouge (from a 1772 recipe)Red lip pomatumIt just takes the tiniest speck of each of these things, so they’re a good investment and will last a very long time. I’ve used my white face paint maybe ten times and it barely looks like any is missing.In these photos I’ve also darkened my eyebrows a bit with burnt cloves, which they did in the 18th century. She sells burnt cloves in her shop too but it’s easy to just get cloves from the grocery store and singe the ends with a lighter.As for my hair, I’ve combed pomatum through it and then powder. (link to a youtube video on that) And given it another dusting of powder after I styled it. LBCC sells hair stuff too, but these things are needed in much larger quantities, and thankfully much easier to substitute with stuff at home!You can mix up your own hair pomatum with beeswax and lard (and a little nice smelling oil if you want), and powdering your hair with regular corn starch works perfectly well!I intend to do more experimenting with historical hair stuff and write a blog post on it someday. -- source link
