BEAUTY AND COSMETICS IN THE TIME OF JANE AUSTEN

Downing turns her attention to the hair and beauty styles of Jane Austen's era as she examines the beauty ideals of the Regency period. She sheds light on the transition from the baroque high hair and formal doll-like faces of the court of King George III to the fresh complexions and glossy, bouncy ringlets of the Regency. Fully illustrated, most in color.
