Makeup design for The School for Scandal

The School for Scandal by Richard Brinsley Sheridan







All these sites were unbelievably helpful I want to thank each and every site that did such a fantastic job at explaining everything.



Site #1:



http://www.themakeupgallery.info/period/c18/georgian/index.htm



This reveals the Georgian type of make up that is inspired by the Duchess herself in London, England in the 18th century. I decided that this would be great for the sweet Maria in School for Scandal.




Site #2:

Another site talking about how make up is used and what is in it as well. Some pretty crazy stuff too. Also what they used for the patches, I had no idea they did it with Tafetta.





Site #3:

I had always wondered what was inside that powder. Lots of talc and poison, pretty much what killed a lot of the women back then is lung poisoning from make up.



Site #4:





http://www.minuetcompany.org/furtherinformation/demands.html


Alot of these sites are pretty much the same, make up is one of those deals that is fairly talked about. I always thought it intrigueing when an author does her/his own explaining on the time period. I enjoyed this site.



Site #5:




http://www.marquise.de/en/1700/kosmetik.shtml


Again more make up curiosities, has a way better explination of the powder it even gives out an receipe to make it...Which I am not going to do because I don't think I want my skin decaying anytime soon.




Site #6:




http://www.nwta.com/Spy/Winter/Makeup.html

This has a funny explanation on what women and men did to keep up their hygiene. They would use a cork to put it in their mouth to fill out missing teeth! Agh I could not be able to stand that...





Site #7:




http://www.vintageconnection.net/ModesInMakeup.htm (Starting with 'The Great Cover up')


Little blurb of it, not too much that I could find here but held some interesting topics covered in the 18th century make up.


Site # 8:




http://www.jolique.com/general_interest/evils_of_artifice.htm (Interesting article of when they banned make up)


Of course the priest hood thought make up should be banned because they thought the women were showing signs of the 'devil' possession.(Not true but people back thought up alot of things.)






Site #9:




http://www.docstoc.com/docs/17465006/The-18th-Century/

This one really delves deep into the information of make up use and wigs. It even talks about how women would actually sleep with them for three days. Infestations of rats and lice would come about, what I have learned from a guide in Spain is that they would actually put bacon in there hair so that the lice would feed on that instead of their scalp.



Site #10:

This is a tutorial I made, please forgive me for spelling errors. After looking


over all the sites and such I decided to do two tutorials or this. I hope this is


alright, it may not be a great reference I will do another in the near future.






I did not do a great job on this, I forgot to line in the brows so pretend that I did.
The lips were small, in the 18th century that is what you looked at when talking to a woman.
Everything had been exagerated, when the French court moved in people started to
produce patches of Tafetta and placed it on any skin deformaties to make them look even.
Skin is pale, rouge was very dark and eyes were lined with brown khol.


Sorry if it is not helpful, if you really want to know more about it I will post a tutorial for it soon...My computer frecked up on my youtube video...*fail*.
