Wearing makeup in the Victorian time was highly frowned upon due to religious beliefs and was seen as immoral but was still worn very lightly by some but those with a string use of makeup were most commonly prostitutes or actresses.
In the Victorian ages women with pale faces were seen to be noble women due to the fact that it was a sign that they did not work out in the sun like the poorer class women with tans.
women would use zinc oxide to whiten there faces. some would also go as far a painting blue veins on them self for a translucent look.
although makeup was not a big thing back then skin care was, women would make there own solution from ingredients they had in there kitchen made with roses or lilies, creams were made with was and different scents
