What kind of cosmetics did women use in the 18th Century in Europe and America?

The Toilet of Flora is a recipe book for cosmetics, soap, etc. that is from the 18th century. I'd recommend reading through it, but you'll find common items like blush, darkening of eyebrows, hair products, perfume, and even recipes for lightening freckles or ridding of pimples. How heavily used some of these items are very much depends on the person.
