Your Tudor rellies pix are misidentified. That's Elizabeth in her Rainbow Portrait on the left, & her cousin Lettice Knollys on the right.

I love your blog and reallt ...Hi Eliza, great post! I love your blog and reallt appreciate all this great research. It's a big help for me because I write nonfiction for kids and kids are always fascinated by how people lived in the Middle ages.<BR/><BR/>A few little tidbits to add that I always use to gross out the 7 year olds...<BR/><BR/>Urine was used to give women that extra bit of glow (puppy urine was especially coveted in Louis XIV’s court). Ironically, we still sort of use this ingredient in today’s skin products. Many contain urea to soften skin. Euuuuu makes you think twice about modern cosmetics.<BR/><BR/>Egyptian makeup – Cleopatra was no dummy when she bathed in donkey’s milk. New research shows that Donkey’s milk contains oligosaccharides which increase the number of good bacteria and has anti-aging properties. <BR/><BR/>And the eye makeup that Egyptians used was not just for looks. Copper ore, galena, and carbon (used in Egyptian eye make up) are antiseptics which protect against germs.Bearded Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06182921236123895352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-83060975473438465642008-07-15T20:10:00.000-04:002008-07-15T20:10:00.000-04:00Thank you Elizabeth!

Was the reason they went to more natural ingredients for make-up because they realized the lead-based/arsenic-based compounds were killing them or was it just the fad to go natural?
