Adding on veins
Although looking pale was all the rage for many people, many wanted to use safer methods to achieve the look. During pre-Revolution France, people came up with a new way to make their skin look as pale as possible. Rather than using white makeup, they would draw on dark veins to make their skin look paler. They would often use purple or blue pencils to draw these veins onto their chests and collars.
If you were really dedicated to your look, then you would use the pale makeup methods of the time and complete the look with some of these veins. The result? People looked ghost-like. We guess they achieved their goal, but at what cost? Their health, mainly.
