Try an authentic medieval makeup! We've recreated foundation recipe No. 278 in the Trotula manuscripts.
“A cerotum with which the face can be anointed every day…is made thus. Let oil of violets or rose oil with hen’s grease be placed in a clay vessel so that it boils. Let very white wax be dissolved, then let…well-powdered and sifted white lead be mixed in…let camphor, nutmeg, and three or four cloves be added. From this let the woman anoint her face…” - Trotula Minor: De ornatu mulierum, 12th Century Salerno, Italy, translated by M. Green
