The art Of identifying the complexion
by artificial means is very old The
women of gray antiquity knew how to
give their cheeks the rosy hue which
nature had denied them. In Nineveh
the practice of enameling was quite
common. The skin was made smooth
and clean with pumice stone and then
covered with a layer OF white chemical
preparations. A toilet case found in the
ruins of Thebes contained a whole ar
senal of little bottles fun Of perfumeries
and complexion medicines. The women
of Athens painted themselves with
white lead and vermilion. The poet Of
Ovid described various paints which
were used by the Roman matrons, and
complained that the women tried to
initiate with cosmetics the rosy com
plexion which health alone could
give lie also spoke of the de-
ceitful pallor lent to their cheeks
by white lead, and of curious
methods they had of identifying their
eyes. Again he mentions that pale
face was a necessity for every woman
who aspired to be good form. Pliny
speaks of concoction Of -four of peas
and barley, eggs, hartshorn, etc, which
fashionable women in Rome wore on
their faces all night and part of the day
for the purpose OF clearing their skins.
The custom Of painting the face was
brought to Gaul and Germany by the
Romans. A few centuries later one
hundred different salves for the com
plexion was sold in the German market.
