Does anyone know where I might find information on various cosmetics that are used throughout Faerún? No idea where to look for information, beyond Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue, which had a little Make up kit item.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

Oooh, being a lover of cosmetics in real life, I'd love to learn more about how cosmetics are used in the Realms, what they are made out of, and so on.
I've even seen nail polish mentioned in some Realms novels--makes me wonder what it's made out of to allow it to stay on the nail (I doubt Realms polishes would use modern chemicals). |

The section on "Tentowers" in Ed's The City of Ravens Bluff -- specifically the paragraph describing the 'Of Style and Grace' shop [pg. 128] -- has a few brief tidbits on how some cosmetics are used in the city.

All right, thanks for letting me know. :) |
