Two characteristics of Margaret Lockwood's cosmetic make–up spoiled The Wicked Lady. Both were typical and wide–spread during the 1940s. The first was her exaggeratedly arched eyebrows. The second was her peculiarly painted upper lip. In the 1940s and early 1950s, actresses had their upper lips painted so that the curve spread out across the lip, instead of the more natural Cupid's bow that was popular in earlier films.Lestrade (talk) 12:48, 18 September 2009 (UTC)Lestrade[reply]
