Beauty in Ancient Rome

When starting this little project of mine, I expected to find an exorbitant amount of information regarding cosmetics in history rather than the overall beauty expectations. As I have found, so far, I was correct. I have also come to find that many websites have a different idea of how historical beauty was created and emphasized.
In Ancient Rome, I found the Romans enhanced what the Greek created; cosmetics. In fact, most Roman women were not even considered pretty if they did not wear these cosmetics. These cosmetics covered not only the face, but all parts of the body, including their skin, eyes, nails, and even their teeth. Also, like nowadays, many counterfeit versions of expensive items were invented and used by most Roman women.
As for what the makeup did, the Romans had many of the same beliefs as the Greeks did. The Romans saw a pale face as beautiful, and that it represented wealth and high position. The Romans created methods to conceal freckles, blemishes, sun spots, skin flakes, and wrinkles. Eyes were painted in a way to make their eyelashes appear fuller and longer. As for their eyebrows, brows that met in the middle was considered attractive. This look was achieved by coloring in the parts with missing hairs. Of course, white teeth was the golden look. They even achieved making fake teeth with ivory and paste. However, when the Egyptians wore lipstick regularly, there is no evidence of the Romans ever doing the same. As for men, cosmetics were not worn, and if they were it was extremely rare.
I searched through many websites and found no trace of what their ideal body type was. Maybe there wasn't one, or maybe it wasn't as heavily embraced as it is nowadays.
