This is a quote from Wikipeadia:-





';Women's Bodies as Pure





The body of the woman was seen as pure and clean except when she was experiencing menstruation. A woman was not encouraged to wear any kind of cosmetics or any other adornments, or wear clothing that showed her skin, or showed even stockings or any other undergarment. Some believe this was because a woman's body was considered to be the property of her husband. As a result, women were not to advertise their bodies to other men. However, men also were discouraged to wear any kind of cosmetics or wear clothing that showed their skin or undergarments, so this was a part of the Victorian morals which affected both males and females. There were other similar restrictions like discouragement of using the word ';leg'; in presence of opposite gender, or obligatory usage of bathing machines. These restrictions also affected both genders equally.';





Therefore, it appears that the only women that were allowed to use make-up, were prostitutes or those on the stage.





I hope this helps.
