Refinery29 It would be cool to see Mi-Anne do life challenges like the get better sleep challenge, the 7 day meditation challenge, using only one makeup product for a week challenge etc💜
I love that you don't just make "here's me trying a makeup look" type of video, bug you actually put in SO much information and research. It makes things even more amazing
If anyone is interested in makeup history, you should probably read Lisa Eldridge's book Face Paint. She looks at beauty icons, make up trends & make up companies through the ages.
I really love this video, well done! I think what a lot of people forget is that Mi isn’t presenting herself as a makeup or beauty professional. She openly admits she is only learning. Her series was started to document her learning about all different things. Something that almost all women have to face growing up. We are presented with so many people who have makeup artists and professional stylists, our view becomes skewed. Also, she almost always consults a professional in the field. She isn’t full of herself saying she is amazing at the things she tries. Her fashion video was a disaster but it was interesting to watch and I identified with the humanity of it.
I know people will be clowning on 1920's eyebrows, but those were the standard back then lol. If people from back then saw the makeup we like to do today, they would be like "tf"
i adore anna may wong! when i dove into vintage, like ten years ago, she was one of my favorites old hollywood icons and i used to collect photos of her in my computer but i didn't knew she acted in a drama with vixx's ravi 3:40 i'm shook
Wow! Refinery29 always making quality content! History research, pictures, professional's opinions. Perfection! Go Mi-Anne! Incredible job with the make up.
Anna Mae Wong-- so beautiful. My favorite old hollywood actress. She could say more with a flick of her eyes than most actresses could with a whole mouthful of words.
Oh I love when you do these videos that include history and makeup! These are entertaining and informative. I never heard of Anna May before this but I'm always excited to learn of women breaking boundaries and paving ways for us!
Hey, this is awesome! It was great to learn about Anna May Wong and the fortunes of WoC in Hollywood in the 20s. It was also great to see your recreation of her look and the tidbits of 20s makeup techniques!!
Wow Anna May Wong was such a cool lady, I didn't know that much about her because I'm not American but her story is badass. Also you did a great job with the make up, considering how unfamiliar it must've been to you lol
I appreciate the work that has gone into the making of this good video instead of just a simple video of attempting some make up. Nice to know more abt Anne May Wong and her contribution towards Hollywood. And also the montage of pictures and the interviews are amazingly done. Keep it up 👍
I always love your videos ♥️♥️ you looked great and it was good to know the historical significance an Asian American (woman of color) had in Hollywood.
I realise you're the beauty person for refinery 29 but I was nevertheless SHOCKED at how well you attempted this look. I can't believe you did such an impressive first attempt !!
Yes, Anna May! I have a hoodie with her image on the back. I may not be Chinese, but she was a strong woman from Oakland, like me! She can inspire anyone, especially women of color! ♥️
Thank you for this episode. I'm not from USA and I've never been into old movie except for Casablanca so I didn't know about her. Great work as always 💛
mi anne.. you were amazing.. i loved it.. i also love the flapper era.. their style and makeup was beautiful.. i especially love all the hats and feathers they used to wear along with the beaded shag dresses.. 💗
This is very inspiring! But why do you call it a video about "A 1940's Hollywood Star" if it is set in the 1920s, meaning that Anna May Wong was even more ahead of her time?
Who are the jerks that dislike this?? Even if “makeup” isn’t your jam can’t people just appreciate a well done, well researched, well executed production on an original subject matter? With the online beauty community being so focused on $$ and perpetuating these unattainable standards though repetitive content focused on selling or consuming high end/ luxury items. I would think these videos would be a much needed reprieve.
I've always been alt but started mixing alt with 1920s makeup for 3 years now and I absolutely ADORE thin ass line drawn on brows then thick ones on me 100%. I get so much shit for them but idgaf, I could care less bc I absolutely adore the 1920s inspired makeup smmm😩🖤
Just a seggestion you guys should do a vid on what is on your favorite snacks including munchies, candys etc. This would be very educational just my personal suggestion ty 💖💗💋
Hello Refinery29..Mi-Anne.. Thank you for this history/ educational post..the make up tutorial Mi-Anne thank you 20"s inspired make up/ hair i love it 😍😍 Sincerely Tj
It's the besame cake mascara! the brand makes products similar to the ones made in the 20s and Gabriela (the founder) told me many women at the time would use their cake mascara as liner :)
They talk about race and the film industry. But asians where considered white until about the 70's -80's. That is why they where on film, black , biracial , quadroon people where not allowed to be on film with a white person during that time. I think you should have mentioned that. I grew up in the south, in an all black school taught by black history teachers. I learned hispancs/asians/ middle easterners and jews after the war where considered white.

I Want Eat. Oh fuck I did too

HOLY SHIT IT'S RAVI HAHAHAH
I thought you were saying “Anime Wong” the whole time! 😂
Watching Mi do the eyeliner was incredibly satisfying!
Mi you have won me over with this video. I think this informative, historical viewpoint style of video is your natural strong suit. Excellent job!!!
+tinabingham YAY! So glad you're into it, too!
I just want to say, thank you. I am a big fan of Anna May Wong. Watched many of her movies. Thank you for this
Probably my FAVORITE Beauty with Mi!!! ❤️
Jenn Giordano aww thank you I’m so glad you liked it !

Thank you for a great informative content. Having seen your videos lately, I’m positive anything you put out will be amazing 😉 Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩
+sarahanditakarina WOW! Thanks for being here!

"Anime Wong" is my new Drag name
another woman of color in the Hollywood machine that we heard nothing of until now thank you so much
I always love your videos ♥️♥️ you looked great and it was good to know the historical significance an Asian American (woman of color) had in Hollywood.
+nessablue We couldn't agree more! Thanks for checking it out!
Facts☺☺💫
What an amazing video. You're really a great makeup artist and host.
I LOVE that you have an actual expert who knows his stuff on the topic! LOVE it!!!
I realise you're the beauty person for refinery 29 but I was nevertheless SHOCKED at how well you attempted this look. I can't believe you did such an impressive first attempt !!
I'd love to see a biopic about Anna May. It'd be such an interesting story to bring to the big screen.
Yes, Anna May! I have a hoodie with her image on the back. I may not be Chinese, but she was a strong woman from Oakland, like me! She can inspire anyone, especially women of color! ♥️
Actually, I think Oakland just claims her because she’s tough and her dad lived here. Wherever she’s from, 👏🏾
Wow! You did such a GREAT job portraying Miss Anna May!
This was amazing! I really enjoyed all the historical references and Anna May's journey. Nice to watch this episode of Beauty with Mi💐☕💗
Great job! Really interesting story. BTW, Lucy Liu is producing and directing an anthology episode of an upcoming docudrama series about Anna May.
So happy r29 did a video on Anna May Wong!
+m.danielle :)
I love the color of your hair mi so pretty! Also great video too!
Awesome and intriguing video of an iconic beauty.
She was Stunning!
I love just about anything Old Hollywood style, so by default - I automatically liked this video 5 seconds in lol 🖤🎩🎀
STACY JANG xo thanks so much for watching and liking :) :)

Omg you look amazing! The was such a good and informative video
mi anne.. you were amazing.. i loved it.. i also love the flapper era.. their style and makeup was beautiful.. i especially love all the hats and feathers they used to wear along with the beaded shag dresses.. 💗
Wow this was a great one! I love these history type vids!
I REALLY love this channel ❤️
Great episode, love the research and explanations, and history lesson.
I LOVE LOVE ur blue wired hair! Ur unique
Where did you get that eyeliner & mascara? They seem like great low-waste options :)
Never mind lol, I'm pretty sure she used Besame's black cake mascara for both in case anyone else was wondering!
Still recovering from the last beauty with mi
oof that was a harsh one
9:05 Those were the roles that they would typecast her for, but she did it
I love it! We need more of this!
ok but that man sounds like the voice of the fitness pacer test
Ok, but that eye makeup looks so cool, I'd wear it regularly
+haniap. SAME!
Loved this! Such an inspiring, powerful woman!
Omg did anyone else think she was saying Anime Wong?
Edit after reading first 5 comments:
Oh yeah everyone else did!
omg your summer dress looks amazing
Dita Von Teese wrote about Anna May Wong in her book,”Your Beauty Mark.”
+autumnclarke OOH, good to know!
Wow!! U did a great job!!
I cringed so hard when she swiped the glue stick in the opposite direction of hair growth 😩
That's to get the product on all sides of the hairs of the eyebrow.
This is very inspiring! But why do you call it a video about "A 1940's Hollywood Star" if it is set in the 1920s, meaning that Anna May Wong was even more ahead of her time?
you're right! it was a typo haha it's all fixed now! Thanks so much for watching, Miriam! She was truly an amazing woman!
Thanks for fixing it! Have been watching all your videos and find these historical ones most fascinating!

Okay but that eyebrows tho🤦😂😂
Was looking for this comment 😂😂
😁😁😁
@@earthandfire4840 😂😂😂
Best refinery & mi video to date
+jessciawalton WOW! Thank you!
Great work!!!
This is sooo niceeeeeee
Please tell me what eye liner you are using
She's using Bésame Black Cake Mascara
Thank you
Very smart video guys !! 🙌🏼
This > facial videos any day 👏🏼
The eyebrows scream more 20s/30s than 40s to me
yes definitely. In the 40's they were thicker.
eep! thanks for pointing out! fixed the typo :) Thanks for watching!
Mi-Anne Chan
Mi-Anne Chan It was such a good video! I loved learning about her
This is so cool!
Just a seggestion you guys should do a vid on what is on your favorite snacks including munchies, candys etc. This would be very educational just my personal suggestion ty 💖💗💋
the cover said 1940s not 1920s
this is crazy. i like it!
Great job !!
I think Asian women are so pretty♡
What do you mean you think
They were, are and always be pretty
@@johnnyboy9239 yes they are
One of the first..the best.
I enjoy very much her story
Better Luck Tomorrow is another great Asian film
Shouldn’t you use the glue in the direction of the eyebrows to avoid fluffing them out?
I didnt know the creator of Besame is latina, I feel proud
That was AWESOME!!! ❤
Rather watch this than drama channels reviewing the James Charles saga.
Loved this! please please have a drag queen put you in drag makeup!
Yey early luv her
One thing we get sad in... our beauty stars once were permitted to look like women and men...
We now search for children in a way.
Hello Refinery29..Mi-Anne..
Thank you for this history/ educational post..the make up tutorial Mi-Anne thank you 20"s inspired make up/ hair i love it 😍😍
Sincerely Tj
WHO DECIDED TO START THE VIDEO OUTSIDE WITH THE WHITE NOISE?
More Videos Like This One Pls! ☺️
Who else thought she said anime Wong
John Doe lmao 😂 😆
What eyeliner is Mi using?
It's the besame cake mascara! the brand makes products similar to the ones made in the 20s and Gabriela (the founder) told me many women at the time would use their cake mascara as liner :)
@@Mianne_chan Thank you ❤❤
Amazing
Love love LOVE
What kind of eyeliner is that?!?!?!?
Here's an actual Anna May Wong film. th-cam.com/video/fF2F2mXsRog/w-d-xo.html
