'LET EVERY WOMAN AT ONCE UNDERSTAND 
THAT PAINT CAN DO NOTHING 
FOR THE MOUTH AND LIPS'
- LOLA MONTEZ

This quote from Lola Montez, for me, helps to represent the common opinion many, including Queen Victoria herself, harboured regarding makeup in the mid to late 18th century. The idea that makeup was seen as a product of the devil and encouraged a lack of morals rather than how it is thought of today - an art and talent used to enhance and highlight features as well as completely transform a person.
