This look is meant to emulate authentic "daytime" Victorian/Edwardian makeup as closely as possible. I consulted many recipes for vintage homemade cosmetics used surreptitiously by real women of the "Gibson Girl" era in everyday life, circa 1890-1910. The colors are intentionally very subtle (a "no-makeup makeup look", as visible "face paint" was considered very "vulgar" at the time), but they're still just visible enough to look nice in VRChat and VTubing software, even at a distance.

‎

"These textures are meant to give the impression of a face thoroughly moisturized with cold cream, then blotted; eyelids faintly tinted with a decoction of walnut leaves; eyelashes and brows darkened with the char of burnt cloves; and lips, cheeks, ears, and chin lightly rouged with carmine (cochineal). The entire face is then softly set with rice or zinc oxide powder, so as to remove excess shine."

‎ ‎

This makeup look is timeless, so it's also suitable for/can be used as a general light, soft, refined, elegant, velvety, matte "no-makeup" makeup look!
