Your memory is excellent! (Only reason I know is that my favorite magazine growing up, American Heritage, had a whole article on Sargent and his portraits, and of course the notorious Madame X figured prominently . . .

Ugly woman, though. Don't like her nose, although that seems to be a French thing.

I totally agree about her nose. Definitely a haughty French appearance.

So, why was lavender make-up considered to be so "bad"?
