As this trend started in the 20th century, it is something that never died and is a great way for women to fully dress up on a night out. You would never see a woman leave without her hair, makeup, stockings, and bold lipstick on. A great reference would be The Great Gatsby and the fashion depicted in the iconic novel and movie.
During the night, it was pure glamour with high heels, pearls, beads, and silk. It was a statement that women dress to impress. They would wear big fur coats, flapper hats, dresses, thigh high stockings, and more. In the '20s, women had shorter hair and less emphasis on the waist. The turn of the new century was also the turn of new beauty standards.
Why was she trying to hide? Is she trusted? Was make-up healthy? However, beauty products had toxic ingredients like lead, nightshade, and mercury. The Victorian era was also when makeup was a controversy, but was also when it became popular. The ideal beauty was a pale face, rosy cheeks and dark eyes. Women wanted to be full-figured but with smaller waists, which they achieved through the use of corsets. These standards are similar to Victorian England as well.
Beauty through the ages skin#
The standard became a curvier, fuller figure with pale skin and light hair. Fertility was a defining trait of beauty for men during this time, as these men wanted health and child-bearing hips.Īfter the middle ages, the beauty standards changed for women. A more full figure was often considered an indicator for signs of fertility. Women during the Renaissance era normally had longer hair, wider hips, and on the heavier side. Some women went to such great lengths to get tiny feet and waists. The smaller you were, the more beautiful you'd be considered, which is why foot binding was brutal, and some women who did it didn't want to. In ancient China, beauty was all about size.
