Dear Listeners,  
Step into the world of Victorian beauty—where pale skin, corsets, and dangerously toxic powders ruled the scene. In this episode of Stepwell Radio, Kuhi takes you on a wild ride through history’s most bizarre beauty standards. From arsenic-laced cosmetics to rib-crushing corsets and even the eerie romanticization of tuberculosis, we explore the painful (and often deadly) lengths people went to in pursuit of beauty.  
And it wasn’t just the ladies—men, queens, and even pharaohs took part in these hazardous trends. Imagine painting your veins blue to look paler or wearing lead makeup that slowly poisons you. Yikes.  
So, has anything really changed? With today’s obsession over cosmetic procedures and extreme beauty trends, are we any different? Tune in to hear Kuhi's take on it all—Victorian beauty meets modern madness!
