A lady in the mirror. The use of face powder was banned during the French Revolution
At every age of her her fashion of her.
From this point of view, the French Revolution is remembered as a period in which trousers, short hair and also certain prohibitions, spread which to us may seem at least a little bizarre.
Among these, just to mention one, that of no longer use the powder , which until then had had an almost maniacal use both to perfect the face and to whiten wigs (https://www.pilloledistoria.it/2203/storia-moderna/versilles-1700-la-moda-dei-capelli -whites).
The motivation for the decision was, of course, of a political nature:the powder was an "antisocial" product , as flour was used to make it which in this way was “ stolen from the people ".
