💄In honour of how much I've been enjoying @gucci's new Gucci Beauty account on Instagram, which charts fashion & beauty via art history, here is a thread I've compiled on some historical beauty trends I find interesting, with art historical examples of what they looked like. 💄 I should note that this thread is in no way associated with or sponsored by @gucci -- but, Alessandro Michele, if you're reading this... I am more than happy & ready to become a sellout, so please don't hesitate to get in touch. 💸💸💸

If you think Vincent Van Gogh painted the Mona Lisa it’s cool. You can be on this page or in a museum or at the library reading about art or whatever else. Everyone has a place in art learning and you don’t have to be a connoisseur to start. Start with what you have and yourself and go on from there.
