While I am sure books exist about the history of make up, this books sets itself apart by discussing the history of something deemed feminine in the world of masculinity. Discussing historical figures and how cosmetics influenced their lives and ultimately their power is incredibly interesting and illuminating. And while yes, in the preview it is mostly men, the author also shares the history of a gender fluid pharoh and how make up shaped their reign, proving that make up and cosmetics have no gender.
Overall this is a lovely and interesting book that will suit people that love obscure historical facts.
The cover is eye catching.
