In this episode of Dressed for the Grave, we trace the history of lead-based cosmetics, from ancient Egypt to Elizabethan courts and the powdered excess of the 18th century. We explore how a material once used for protection became a symbol of perfection, and how that pursuit slowly poisoned the people who wore it.

Correction: In a very on-brand moment, during our corrections, we mention Prince Andrew. The prince we really meant to refer to was Prince Philip, husband to Queen Elizabeth II.
