What Women Did for Beauty Throughout History
Beauty standards have always pushed people to extremes. Long before modern cosmetic procedures and viral beauty trends, people were using lead makeup, arsenic complexion wafers, belladonna eye drops, corsets, tapeworm diets, and other dangerous methods in the pursuit of beauty. In this episode of Historically Weird, we’re diving into the dark and bizarre history of beauty standards — from the deadly practices of the Victorian era to the unsettling ways beauty culture still shapes people today. Some of these historical beauty trends sound unbelievable now… but when you compare them to modern beauty obsessions, the line between past and present starts to feel a lot thinner than we’d like to admit. History gets weird. Fast. #historicallyweird #darkhistory #weirdhistory #victorianera #beautystandards #history #beautyhistory
