Well, you could have resorted to a beard wig attached with mechanical whiskers or, if you were feeling optimistic, then you might have reached for Crinutriar.
Although Crinutriar promised that 'thousands...who were once utterly destitute of beards and whiskers [could] now have those attributes of manhood', the truth was these types of products smelt foul, and were even potentially poisonous ☠️
To find out more about the Victorian gentleman’s grooming routine, head to our YouTube for our full-length tutorial with makeup artist Dominic Skinner, and watch him transform into the spitting image of his great great uncle, Thomas Hardy.
And if you’re London-based, come see some of these products in their real-life glory at The Cult of Beauty. Our latest exhibition running until 28th April 2024.
