The source of tremendous power and the focus of incredible
devotion, throughout history notions of beauty have been integral
to social life and culture. 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.
