Fair play, we did also find out that those powders might have been slowly poisoning people to death.

This reminds me of the time that the office was having all the asbestos panelling removed. Because of course it had asbestos panelling, dumped that it was.

One of the guys turned up with a t-shirt that said "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger", so perhaps those people just lacked the necessary force of will

If it was whitening lead, yeah. But you can have rouge from red ochre, literally dirt, aka egyptian earth.

It can be the same pigment as with modern makeup just without the oils as a glue. Perhaps it wouldn't even cause pimples.

Finely milled mineral powders are really, really bad for your lungs. A lot of makeup, for a very long time now, has been in this format.
