Outdated hygiene practices that are far from clean

Women Wore Eyebrows Made of Mouse Skin

In the 18th century, thick, expressive eyebrows were all the rage – but eyebrow pencils didn’t exist yet. Instead, many women used small strips of actual mouse skin that they glued to their faces to create the illusion of full, flawless eyebrows.

What was once seen as chic and elegant now seems simply disgusting. Yet, back then, mouse-skin eyebrows were a genuine style statement. Just another example of how far some will go for beauty – even if it seems absurd these days.
