Drawings
One trend that was hip in the 18th century as well as today, is having drawings on your cheeks. In the 18th century, women started wearing intense makeup underneath their extravagant wigs. More is more. It was hip to be as lavish as possible.
Women in this time period often had small drawings on their cheeks. These could have several meanings: a star, circle, or square next to your mouth was seen as flirty, whereas a drawing on the right cheek meant that the woman was married. These drawings are making a comeback with e-girls, a subculture in today’s youth that can often be found on the social media platform TikTok.
This trend is pretty harmless, especially in comparison to the trend on the next page…
