What is the significance of cosmetics in Hamlet?

For example, how Hamlet always references Ophelia's beauty and how it is fake and must be credited to make-up, not nature.





Thanks! :)What is the significance of cosmetics in Hamlet?
I think that he means that everything you see is not true, but a deception, in Italian, for example, make up is called with the same name as trick, as in magic tricks, or a swindle. (trucco)


I think it is the same idea that hamlet tries to get across: what you see is NOT what you get.
