History and Origin of Finishing Powder . In the Middle Ages, powder was used to hide natural features on the face, women powdered their faces with flour and used harsh natural bleaches, such as lye, to get rid of freckles.

The white-powdered face also appears in works from the Elizabethan age. It was this time that white powder actually became more common and working class women began to apply flour as white powder to the face.

When a value is given, money is the reward.  Money in its most basic sense is a medium for measuring value rendered. When you have money, you have a sense of defence; the same way wisdom can also serve as a defence in certain situations. Anyone with true wisdom has money.
