My interpretation is that they did make almond milk and used that. Here is the excerpt:<br><br /><br><i>"[Makeup] could be removed with pearl barley water, lentil or lily water, or lotion of milk or sweet or bitter almonds. Everything depended upon the skin type, and the same was true for the creams. Some required oil of sweet almonds, white balm or May butter, others cocoa, spermaceti or cold four-seed oil." </i>Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06052080882886879580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-67075450941712482682015-02-03T11:10:52.733-05:002015-02-03T11:10:52.733-05:00Lotion of sweet almonds: did they use the oil or m...Lotion of sweet almonds: did they use the oil or make almond milk and wash with that?<br />As for the milk lotion, did they just wash with milk?SakiVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307981612840889634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-56937378934865241982015-02-03T11:10:50.556-05:002015-02-03T11:10:50.556-05:00Also, the eu de charmes: is that a perfume?Also, the eu de charmes: is that a perfume?SakiVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307981612840889634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-36880111237319404622015-02-03T11:10:12.627-05:002015-02-03T11:10:12.627-05:00Also, the eu de charmes: is that a perfume?Also, the eu de charmes: is that a perfume?SakiVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307981612840889634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-53517253340439939422015-02-03T11:06:05.750-05:002015-02-03T11:06:05.750-05:00Lotion of sweet almonds: did they use the oil or m...Lotion of sweet almonds: did they use the oil or make almond milk and wash with that?<br />As for the milk lotion, did they just wash with milk?SakiVIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11307981612840889634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5265120836698023886.post-54871496477238785252013-12-01T05:13:34.057-05:002013-12-01T05:13:34.057-05:00Hey, they did not use any eyeliner at that time?

That's disgusting. <br /><br />But, in all serious, they did at least get the blush right. At least, in theory.
