    Now I know I am really & Truly OLD. I am 64 yrs old, and this video was a wonderful trip through the past. I remember most of the make up on your table. My Grandmother's lovely things, then watching my beautiful mother that was a model for Breck ( one of the original Breck Girls) spending intense time observing her put up her waist-long hair in pin curls and applying her make-up to get ready for my father to come home. Then I got her things and some I still use today. The '70s were all about natural, but I do remember the birdhouse lipstick. It was not a real hit. We as teenagers thought it was too" little girl." The memories of the 60s "white" lipstick and Twiggy eyeliner and lashes fade to the clear tinted lip gloss of the 70s. Now, I see the trend fall back to the 50s wingtip eyeliner and false lashes. It is a definite improvement as far as I can see. Much more feminine. Now I am watching my Granddaughter use the 60s Hippie look and I can't help but giggle and feel old as I look at my old-fashioned makeup vanity and my ancestor's mirrors and perfume bottles and miss them all. Time has taken my youth but it cannot take my memories. Thank you for the post.

    You can see that people had one item or two and really took good care of it, and used it for years. There wasn't this insane consumerism and people hoarding makeup items, only to later make declutter videos 🤭. The cases were beautiful and rich, and there's nothing of the like nowadays. Lovely to see it, please make a Netflix series about it.❤️

      Just because only a few examples survive doesn't mean that only a few examples existed. In fact, ironically, it is the commonplace items that are the least likely to survive because they are common.
      In the modern era, a very small percentage of consumers are extremists. Content creators are the modern beauty editors and certainly not representative of the general population. And packaging is an important, thoughtful and expensive element of many brands.
      Before mass production of consumer goods and especially before plastics, most things had to be handmade and labor is what's most expensive. That's why slavery is so attractive to the bottom line. Anything labeled "Made in China" was certainly produced by people earning an unlivable wage.
      Human nature hasn't changed much through history. If women in the 20s and 30s had the opportunity and desire to hoard make up, they absolutely would have!!

    • @krisuler7734
      @krisuler7734 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@kaseyc1350 I would have to disagree with your sentiment. I think what the OP was discussing was very much on point. You focused a bit too much on just the actions discussed instead of analyzing and thinking about the essence of such actions. Nowadays, it is certainly not only influencers who hoard…common people who have zero correlation to the beauty industry also hoard and buy ridiculous amounts of everything and it is extremely wasteful. Back in day while production of SOME items was more expensive than today, people simply did not hoard because the mindset was different back then. People had more appreciation for things and valued what they purchased. Even in the 70s when items started being made in plastics instead of metals, women still weren’t hoarding these cheaper items, which is indicative of the overall mindset of society at large. Influencers aren’t all “beauty editors”…a lot of them are simply trendwh0res who saw that collection videos were getting tons of views and so they began hoarding too. It is despicable. If These influencers were beauty editors then they would actually make videos with the makeup that is sent 5o them, for example, but more often than not, they don’t. They just receive, buy, hoard, and don’t make anything worthwhile with it until they make their “collection ” clips after which they end up throwing half of the products away. It is gross and this act was not present before our modern day nor was this way of thinking. It is commentary on society, not just the act of buying makeup. People took care of things back then because fast fashion wasn’t in demand…because people preferred to VALUE what they bought. Now, people just want to have,have,have…without placing any value on the items, which keeps creating a higher and higher demand for fast fashion and crazy consumerism. If people began to value things and appreciate what they buy then …the market would respond. If society stopped buying fast fashion crap then there would be no demand for it and it would no longe4 be produced. There are places in the world, other first world nations, where hoarding is not common nor a trend (SKorea, Japan, Russia, etc etc) and people place value on the items they purchase and the homes are very minimalist and those that hoard are looked down upon (i.e. in Japan there are people who have crazy big collections of anime goods, as a specific example…but that is not the overall mindset…minimalism is huge there, which in turn teaches you to truly appreciate each and every item you end up purchasing ☺️). I really don’t think that if items were easier to produce decades ago that hoarding would’ve occurred then too…and the proof is in the 70s like I mentioned earlier in my comment. Those are my two c3nts ☺️✌🏻✌🏻.

      ​@@krisuler7734 have you heard of the concept of whales in gaming and idol industry? They are the minority of customers that spend a disproportionately huge amount of money on the games/band products. Most makeup buyers don't buy insane hoards of makeup, they buy a reasonable amount of makeup and sometimes keep them for too long compared to recommendations (especially mascaras) because they just want things that work and are convenient to them.

    Lisa, my mother used triple milled flour as her powder for her non makeup dark brown skin to take down the shine. She used lipstick as her blush. The most interesting is she used the burnt carbon from burning a match on a porcelain plate. Then she would mix the carbon with a little water and used it as eyeliner and smokey eyeshadow. She use vasoline on her long naturally curly lash to help them to stand out.That was her look for going on stage in a ball gown like Dorothy Danridge and sing. My mother always had great skin and only needs powdering. She never wore foundation.

    How striking that they actually had such things as "wartime package". What a vivid picture that paints, especially when contrasted with what we consider to be special or limited editions today. The contrast between what was considered standard edition (beautiful, intricate) and wartime edition (simple, almost rudimentary) is incredible, especially knowing that today the opposite is true.

And a mostly complete collection of American and British Vogue and Harpaar's Bazaar from 1989 through 1995 (except for all of the stills ripped out and pasted to my bedroom wall, which now live in frames (or folders) with theater pictures of 1930s and 1940s actresses.

    You may already know this, but in Spain we often refer to mascara as 'rimel', as it was the first mascara brand commercially available here.

    Second thought: There's so much history on geopolitical affairs and sociocultural norms that can be uncovered through the study of vintage cosmetics but so little has been written about this in academia in comparison to masculine topics like war. Imagine how much we can discover if we gave the feminine spheres of living as much funding and institutional support.

    Gonna give my face a massage while watching, Lisa would be proud 😉 Also grabbed my laptop after months to see everything bigger.
    Could leave 1000 comments. The way you speak about the previous owners makes my eyes watery. I have the same thoughts with books. Isn't it great how things can make us feel so connected and emotional?! Lisa you are so lovely as always

    My mum was born in 1914, she worked on the make up counter in Woolworths as her first job at 16 and became an Avon lady in the 1950s. She only ever used block mascara, Bourjois rouge and lipstick and I still have her glass powder container with powder still in it x
