Powder her face is the first lyric title of the English composer Thomas Adès (1971). It narrates the life of the Duchess of Argyll in a flashback that embraces her amorous audacities and the luxury of a life that culminated the day she had to leave the hotel room in which she resided due to lack of payment. Her scandals not only included illustrious figures, but also the circumstances were extraordinary.
