So much of style in any era comes out of some practical need and then associated with other circumstances
develops into fashion or general concepts of beauty. Beauty "spots" or "patches" are just such a thing. Called "mouches" or "flies" by the French since they looked like little insects against the extreme pale made-up faces of the day and " plaisters" or "patches" by the British, small spots were used to beautify, conceal and communicate. Made of small patches of silk, velvet, tafetta or even mouse fur, the spots were initially used to conceal scars, often from the ravages of diseases such as syphilis and smallpox. Later becoming fashionable in and of themselves, their strategic placement on the face communicated a personal symbolism such as a patch placed "above the lip meant coquetry, on a forehead, grandeur, and at the corner of an eye, passion." #beauty #beautypatches #beautyspots #fashion #fashionhistory #makeup #cosmetichistory #patchboxes #art #portraits #moles #concealment
