At the times of Romanticism and during the Victorian Era (1837-1901), the use of cosmetics between women started to be popular. A time of luxurious adornments and splendorous glamour was left behind, at the 18th century. At the beginning of the 1840's, women began to darken their eyelashes and eyebrows and to wear more cosmetics. They still were using old home made methods, like ashes, or lamp black mixed with elderberry juice.
