Victorian beauty emphasized modesty and propriety, with artificial enhancements used to create an idealized appearance. Cosmetics like pearl powder and rouge whitened and colored skin, while pomade styled hair. The Industrial Revolution fueled new beauty products, and artistic movements influenced aesthetics. Literature and paintings depicted these ideals, which were further reinforced by fashion and accessories like corsets and parasols. Ideal physical attributes included pale skin, a small waist, and abundant hair.
