'Hydroxide toner, mercury lipstick, lead foundation-oh my!'

In the Tudor period, "beauty is pain" was more than just an expression. Many famous Tudor lives were claimed by poisonous beauty regimes- Kitty Fisher, Maria Gunning, and even Queen Elizabeth the 1st were victims of the fabled 'Venetian Ceruse', a finishing powder made from white lead. Boasting total purity in the face of competitors' inferior products, which were thought to be bulked up with chalk, it seems "less poisonous" wasn't on trend at the time.
