If by that you mean Paramount, butterfly, beauty.....lighting, where the main light is directly above the subject's nose, and a symmetrical shadow is below the nose, then the reason that it was used is that it glamorizes good-looking ladies. Search George Hurrell, Clarence Sinclair Bull....

Maybe someone else can remember his website's name, but there used to be someone named Mark Wangerin ( I think?! ) who was an 8x10 photographer who specialized in portraits with a Verito and Hollywood lighting.

Last I was in touch with him ( 10+ years ago? ) he wasn't doing photography anymore but something else. He used large lights from a distance do do his work...
Good luck with your project !
