A quick search in reference of what the make up actually means vs what that locked post was going for:

For centuries, the fashionable skin color in Europe was palest white as it suggested wealth and idleness, rather than having to labour in the fields and get sunburnt. This pale look became even more pronounced in the 17th and 18th centuries as fashionable men and women increasingly resorted to artifice to make their complexion yet whiter.

My green face paint might need a brighter tone from the sound of it cause I have immense wealth and nothing to do now ....
