I'm sure just about everyone has now finished up watching the latest instalment of everyone's favourite period drama.
Best known for its steamy sex scenes, constant twists and turns and absolutely stunning costume department - it's clear Bridgerton has made Netflix history as being one of the most hyped series on the platform.
However, it seems that the make-up department really has their work cut out for them when trying to get the cast Regency-era ready.

Now, one of the TV show's fan favourites has a pretty gnarly piece of ink which needed covering up every time she showed her back as, let's be honest, we didn't see many ladies cutting about with tattoos back in the early 1800s.
Claudia Jessie, who plays Eloise Bridgerton, has a stunning floral-patterned tattoo going across the centre of her back up towards the top of her right-hand shoulder and fans of the 'ton have been left stunned after seeing how the costume department covered it up for the show.
Pictures of Claudia's back piece cover-up have since amazed Bridgerton viewers with one social media exclaiming: "Wowzer!"
"Omg I thought it was sunburn at first that's so good," praised a second while a third gushed: "That's a beautiful tattoo!"
A fourth questioned: "I wonder why they put such a high-contrast concealer on first. I would've thought it would be closer to her skin tone."
Another explained: "It needs to be full coverage so has to be quite thick to cover and camouflage the colour of the tattoo then they'll apply the skin tone on top."
The extremely talented make-up artist, Sophie Burton, took to Instagram to share snaps of the process and explain a little more about the magic behind the make-up.
She captioned the post: "Tattoo!? What tattoo! - Us Artists have to cover tattoos much more than you expect, Not just here for the pretty make-up!
"Every costume of Claudia's that showed her back (which is more than you realise haha) I had to add tattoo cover and prosthetic on!
"The tattoo cover I used and love the most is @maekupforfilmandtv base 1, then a mix of 00,1 and 2 to get the right tone, then blended the edges and gave depth back to the skin using the hard brush flick technique and Skin Illustrator OG pallette, then applied a custom made prosthetic (made by @charlottevictoriaallen) to give the cover skin texture! Magic! No tattoo!"
Talk about the power of make-up!
