HELLO MY BBs! I'm so sorry for the late night upload, I hope you guys enjoy this strange deep dive into the history of lipsticks! Who got a notif for this video? Love, Saf
Safiya Nygaard I love u
Safiya Nygaard I did 👋🏻 you always post at my prime TH-cam surfing time
Safiya Nygaard love you queen of darkness lol😉❤️
SAF! Please do a college tips video or a collab with a subscriber! I look up to your channel IMMENSELY and start college next month. 🤗
Safiya Nygaard HEY SAF I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT YOUR VIDEOS ARE SO FUNNY AND HIGH QUALITY! LYYY ❤️❤️❤️
I *love* how Saf's lip color changes with what she is talking about
Why are old makeup compacts so much cooler than now ?
Kelsey Centeno that's totally unrelated but styles and fashion in general has changed drastically, and people became more interested in sleeker-slimmer designs
Wow I just said something like that. You read my mind.
True!! It's about convenience now though since your average working woman wants to wear makeup... it just makes sense to have makeup that's slimmer and can fit in a purse or wherever
A⃟n⃟n⃟z⃟a⃟l⃟i⃟s⃟a⃟ same, there was little ding in the background when she did change it lmao
As a history teacher I really appreciate how you are teaching history and making it accessible and interesting for such a huge audience who may think otherwise that history is boring!
aw im glad u like it! thanks for watching!
I agree with you (I was a history major in college). love Safiya spreading cool historical info in a fun way!
marisdc Yes! Definitely a fresh approach to a history video.
History of period products!! That would be so interesting!!
Natalie Williams And even what women do today in areas where they don't have access to pads, tampons etc
oooh that is a great one!!!
Ironically pads were initially bandages used during the world war to bandage the wounds.

I would love some more “History of” videos in 2019, please! These are awesome!
I second this!
I would too and oo 200th like
@Adelynn Zane 2020 oh god
Or 2021
2022
This needs to be a series!!!!!! The history of.... and do different makeup/ fashion trends, for example.... blush/powders...bras/and clothing
It basically is. She's done the history of chokers before.
david pliego Lisa Eldridge has done a series on history of makeup. She has a lot of vintage items!
She should do hair x
david pliego
👇
david pliego the history of eye brows 😆
Mum: turn off your phone and come help me
Me: but mum i'm watching a documentary
nikoleta tsakiri Thanks for the excuse 😂😂
Bocolate lol you're welcome
My mom kept yelling at me.
MintChoco918 mine too but when i said about the documentary she stopped😂😂
Low key thanking you cause ima need that excuse in a minute
Did you just trick me into learning?
it's a trap!
Fake!!!!!!!!!!
Safiya Nygaard stop it!
Angel Snow I already reported the comment
Haru -Chan did she just say Glossy Taco
Elizabeth I.: Thinks lipstick has health properties.
Also Elizabeth I.: Puts lead in her face.
Christian Pasche 😂😂
That’s what I thought 😂
HA😂😂😂
People weren't very educated, smart, nor advanced enough to figure out that mercury and lead were bad...they used mercury and heroin as medicine for babies or children back then in different eras. Yeah...a lot of fucked up things back then...
I think the supposed inch of lipstick QE1 wore wasn't an inch thick layer but an inch thick line around her lip area. Since lead poisoning destroys one's face it might have been a way to try to replace the lips that fell off.
It was so cool to see those vintage lipstick tubes, loved this! 😍😍😍
Hollie Forrest OMG Hollie I love ur vids!!!!!!!!!
Creepy amount of likes. lol
MEAN GIRLS DRESSCODE FOR A WEEK PLEASEEE. (THIS WAS SOME OTHER GENIUSES IDEA NOT MINE)
miranda jackson yes!!
miranda jackson OMG YES
yesss omgg
EVERYBODY LIKE
YESSSSS MAKE IT HAPPEN :)
YES HONEY GET THAT AUDIBLE SPONSOR
hoe Why do people keep saying that? Yes she got a sponsor but comments like these will prevent her from getting a sponsor from this company. I hope people realize that the company sees these comments and most companies don't want people commenting this. Go see heyparis video about getting sponsor.
Jknewsfann ™ Because Audible has been sponsoring only the best TH-camrs since TH-cam first started. Getting sponsored by amazon, one of the richest companies in the world, is a big feat and achievement and SHOULD be praised and celebrated. It basically means saf has made it to the top of TH-cam in such a short amount of time. Getting sponsored by amazon ENCOURAGES other companies to sponsor saf...
Jknewsfann ™ some people might not know its sponsored? 😂😂 she literally thanks audible for sponsoring the video within the first minute... Also, I doubt audible is scrolling trough her comments, they have better things to do.
Jknewsfann ™ Girl you're stupid. When a company sponsors a video they HAVE to disclose that it was sponsored, otherwise its illegal. Read a book.
Although she disclosed that it was sponsored companies don't want to see comments like these. I've had personally experience were I almost lost a sponsorship because people were commenting things like these. I have a large following on Instagram and people kept commenting "get your coin" or "get that sponsorship" comments like those could prevent saf from getting future sponsorships.
ive rewatched these history of videos so many times, as a history nerd, its so interesting to watch especially since Saf is the narator!! do more of these pretty please, perhaps with the history of jeans, or skincare, or piercings?
Oooh piercings yes I'd so be interested in that
Piercings would be cool
Yes!!!!
Tattoos and hairstyles would be interesting too
Hair or skincare
My favorite part about this video is that each time Safiya introduces a new time period of lipstick, her lipstick color changes! Great touch!💋💄
Maddie Ann yeah i notice that too and i think it is kinda funny and cool!
She does the same for a video about the history of chokers!
If Saf was still in school and had to write an essay about lipstick she'd totally get an A+
Can you do this with eyeliner eyeshadow and other makeup
Yup.....the history of kohl (and how it is still used in the Middle East, especially Saudi Arabia today....”
The Egyptians used to because it prevented many eye afflictions from the silica in sand.
And contour!
YAAASS plz
Eye liner please
Lola Bolarianista Lisa Eldridge made a cool video about ancient eyeliner.
Fun fact in the forties lipstick was considered patriotic because hitler hated lipstick
Specifically bright red lipstick, because he thought it was too much of a statement for women.
Actually it was considered patriotic because the Americans engineered a colour call victory red to boost moral but that could also be true
But, my grandmother, who was in her 20s during the war, wore lipstick but scolded me if I ever dared to put it on in public, like powdering my nose and touching my lipstick up after a meal. 😂😂
**furiously slathers on lipstick**
I will be wearing lipstick more often now
At first I thought this was gonna be boring but then I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. I love educational/history videos like this!
Have you seen her history of chokers? It's pretty good.
Autumn The Wreck yes
What did you learn for summer?
-ah, you know, history of chokers, lipstick and the complexion of pastel transformation and those stuff
Endzi Stankovic this is so accurate 😂
Saph: The 30s and 40s brought the great depression and world war II. But that didnt stop lipstick sales.
Woman at the time: I'm sad but I still gotta look fabulous😗
*Saf
**sad twerking**
I wish Safiya was my history teacher
Alexandra Morris ikr
"this is not elizabeth this is jenna marbles"😂
Kylie L. Did you notice the amount of likes you have? I died tho😂😂
Id do the forehead smack if someone thought that was Elizabeth.
This is how you do a sponsored video!
10 cents a tube? Now it's 10 dollars for a sample
Who are you giving $10 for a sample?
@@amylynnhunt55 ik it's like £7 for a 24 hour lipstick and for a sample it's like £1
It's only 8 dollars with colourpop.
guys it was a joke saying lipstick is expensive 😂
@@swaggyfrogeditzz5759 no one got my joke lmaoo
I swear Saf is always on trending!!!!
Lindsey cole It honestly doesn't surprise me,her videos are awesome! 😄
they are! Well thought out!
Lindsey cole ikr!
I lowkey wish that she could be my history teacher
Qxeen Mxna yea
Qxeen Mxna ya
I do but high key
Please?
Qxeen Mxna sammeee
The only time history is fun is when Safiya teaches it
Agree!
Uuuuh what about Bill Nye the Science Guy??
Goshi Kuka HON👏🏽ES👏🏽TLY
Ritz Crackerz The... Science guy...
try the Hardcore History podcast.
I love it when dope TH-camrs do amazing research. Well done Saf, well done!!!
I love how well-researched Safiya's videos are 👌
maddie true
maddiecat ikr
I loooooove these history videos!!!!!!!
LadyPeters yup
LadyPeters. Me to
Me too
😀
I actually have a push-up lipstick, and it still has the lipstick in it! It's wearable. But I wouldn't exactly suggest that lol. It looks like a lot like the second tube from the left at 11:08. It was my great grandmothers. Her mother, was a flapper. It's a beautiful dark peachy shade. I got it from my great grandfather, who keeps most things from his wife. I am named after my grandma Marion. And the lipstick still has its case. I love my family. It's all so interesting. I am related to some historical, influential people. It's just so amazing to see pieces of history like that.
That's really cool I've always loved the history of makeup especially after WWII because women always made up their face to get a husband because they might have lost their husband in the war. Off the topic of makeup but during WWII the man and woman usually got married within a week of getting engaged because you didn't know if he was going to get shipped off soon
Marion T wow that's amazing
Marion T
That's awesome!
Anja Garlic same
Marion T like who?
PLEASE make more "history of" videos! Maybe history of shoes, eyeshadow, or highlighter next???
"and the french aristocrats who wore them got their heads chopped off. Now that is one way to end a trend" DEAD LMAO
Shadow Cadette yeah they died rip
Shadow Cadette literally dead.. like actually dead
I laughed so much at that part. Yup the trend died when the trend setters' head got chopped off
just like the aristocrats
I heard that 1900's silent film stars wore black lipstick because it showed up darker on camera. (and of course you couldn't tell the color) Anyways, great video! 💖💖
Shmoop Shmoop it wasn't only silent films or makeup! Apparently in all black and white films the costumes were ridiculously colored so they would have good contrast in black and white.
erinissecretlysatan what? My whole childhood is ruined... 😯
safiya got sponsored!!!! i feel like a proud mom lmao
I'll be your fren, fren
I will also be your fren, fren. |-/
I want to be your fren
Aye 100th like!
I can't help but notice your profile picture fren
Saf: I did a “little” research
Also Saf: *shows whole damn research and 99% of our knowledge of topic*
Me:u did the whole god damn research about the whole god damn history of lipstick,tch
she would be a good teacher. she explains stuff so well.
This is why I love Saf, she actually puts time and effort into her makeup videos rather than just give her opinion on a new lipstick she gives us the history of all lipsticks.
*"Cristine bust through the door* "DID SOMEONE SAY, GLOSSY TAAAAACOOOOOOO"
[insert clever username here] oh thanks! I forgot 😅
Bahahahahahaha I was totally expecting and insert from her with a smirky face to pop up!
Angela Valy Holoooo x3
H💿L💿SEXUALS UNITE!!!
when she said glossy top coat I instantly thought of Cristine
So there was a Broadway musical called War Paint about Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein. it was cool to see that the actual ads of the time were used in the show and how historically accurate the story was
Your intelligence is so welcome Saf 😍😍😍😍 I'm loving the history lessons. But my boyfriend might be tired of me pausing the video every couple seconds and hitting him with random knowledge
Ok but the old makeup kits and the lipstick with the mirror are honestly so cool to me
Coming soon
Boldly: History of the lipstick
Ok modern lipstick needs a mirror!!!!!
I know! That's genius!
Tbh I don't wear make up so I thought more people had lipstick holders with small mirrors in them because my grandmother had one lol.
All the Guerlain lipsticks Rouge G have mirrors- choose the lipstick colour and top with mirror separately. I have like 12. lol
@@LSSYLondon They meant a mirror attached to the liptstick like 1920s one shown in the video.
@@beehillyard7886 My grandmother has one like that too!
Plz do history of period products
Elyse Elyse That is a genuinely interesting topic.
Yea please
Elyse Elyse yesss !!!
Ummmm ok then
I'm watching Call The Midwife ATM, and one episode dealt with a sex Ed class and they showed the disposable pads from the time (1963), and they weren't the sticky ones we use today, they had a belt to keep them up
History lessons you could hold us next😄:
•eyeliner
•eyeshadow
•brows and lashes
•shoes
•nail polish
•bathing suites/bikinis
•hair
•bodygoals trough history
tell me down in the comments wich one you like the most and if you got new idews tooo!!! Saf we neeed more videos like this!!!!😄😄😄
This needs to become a series
This is seriously a fantastic idea! :) all though I'm 8 months late to the party. I'm still holding out that this could become a thing on the channel! :). Would definitely personally be very interested in the body image one through history!
We need all of these videos!
ALL OF THEM
randome Ré YESSSSSSS
You put so much effort in your videos, I love it. It is so nice to see that there are some people on TH-cam who make good, thoughtful content. I am so glad you have your own channel.
:)
"It looks kinda Cheeto-y"
Annatto is in fact used to make Cheddar cheese yellow/orange!
It is clear that safiya puts a lot of time and research into all of her videos, and I love that
can you pls turn this into a series, like "The History Of ...." some type of makeup
History of different trends over the years
Ana V. Yesssss best idea I've seen all week🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
"Where are all these lipsticks coming from??"
*Acquires more lipstick just for this video*
I wish Safiya could be my history teacher. ^~^
Well, she can tell you about makeup and clothing, but I'm not sure what she has to say about the Battle of Waterloo or the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire.
"Where do all of these lipsticks come from? And why do I keep buying them?" - I ask myself these questions everyday
Safiya can you please replace my humanities teacher? You're sooo much more entertaining!
claire same humanities is dumb
You know you watch a lot of Cristine's videos when you thought Safiya was about to say "Glossy taco" instead of "top coat"
yeah, i actually thought for a second that she did say glossy taco. guess i watch a lot of Cristine
lol i did that to
Yep
I love the 80's. I think it's very fun and colorful and you could express yourself however. Plus some pretty good tv according to my mom.
Kenzie McGee ghjhhjh
Wow! I feel like I just sat in a history class but I actually had fun and it was actually something I was interesting in.
*Your lipstick collection is fuller than my eyebrows :)*
Wynter lol best comment I've read all day
Wynter I think my yarn collection outdoes her lipstick collection😂😂 if my eyebrows were as full as my yarn collection, I'd look like a clown😂
Wynter me
same
I love your profile picture!
I really like the 'history of' videos. This reminded me of when my grandmother would always reapply her favourite dark red (no mirror necessary) and I thought it was the most grown up classy and feminine thing to do. Please keep making more of these videos :)
That reminds me that your grandma''s and my mother's generations were so into lipstick that they could apply it on perfectly without even looking in the mirror !
"this is not Elizabeth this is Jenna marbles" oh yeah thanks I almost confused them
Basically the same person in two different time periods
I think your history videos are my absolute favorite. They are so well done and informational. I'd love to see one on hair trends or wedding dresses.
Criselle Cruz That would be awesome to watch. 😘
I love how saf literally goes out of her way to look this stuff up for us and presents it in a way that I acc want to listen. Much appreciated Saf 😊❤️
I learned more in this than in school
Same
Rachel Rupchand same!
Okay I gonna wear red lipgloss today 😂😍greetings from Germany and have a nice day everyone 🧚🏼♀️
Truly living for how you change your lipstick to make the trend of the decade
Do history of blush next.
Is it?? A double sponsor??? Woahhh.... woah woah woah. it's starting to even maybe look like a triple sponsor???
Saf is killing it. I feel like I have been waiting for this content from her all my life.
Safiya should voice documentaries her voice is perfect for them
I love these 'history of' videos you make. I found the choker video incredible, as is this one. Would love it if you made videos like this more often.
Have you tried Besame cosmetics? They have period accurate lipsticks back to the 1910's and up to the 1960's or 70's. Other makeup too but I love their lipsticks! :)
I love their name" Besame", which means "Kiss me" in Spanish. Romantic and inviting...
I'm pretty sure the Victory Red replica lipstick she used was Besame, they make it.
Bésame is a great word! How fun, I will look into that.
Since you made a 2007 fashion video, can you maybe make a 1997 fashion video? That was my favorite.
Zoë Thompson she wouldn't have been that old
Jade Green Yes she would if she was born in 1997 she would be 20 now but she wouldn't really remember anything but if she was at least 7 she would only be 27 now so I think it is possible
Katie Li my brother was born in 1997 and he's 19. Not really relevant...um I'll go now
Zoë Thompson Thats the year my sister was born
Jade Green She Would Only Be 20 If She Was Born In 1997
9:39 lmao I'm dying the look on the woman on the lefts face, just the sheer determination in her eyes
Yes XD
I just retained more information in the duration of this video than I did in a whole semester of calculus. Saf is actually breaking the internet with educational content and eloquence, and I am LIVING for it. Freaking slay my whole existence, this is literally my favorite channel on youtube. Please keep blessing the internet. much love
i love that she shows us examples of lipsticks..she is smart
"So what have you learn this summer?"
-The history of chockers holografic and lipstick 😄
"oh...."
전 정국 lol and spelling too.
bro ,,, nonono it is chokers, not chockers. you choke on pizza, you dont chock(e) on pizza. thats a completely different word.
전 정국 ARMY
lilac c maybe it was a mistake?
Will you guys calm down? Since he/she wrote holografic Im almost sure that her/his first language is Spanish, so calm tf down
I'm in Cosmetology school and for our makeup chapter I showed my instructor this video and he played it for the whole class. So Safiya is helping educate future professionals in the beauty industry!
Omg the effort u put in this video👌🏽👏🏽❤️
1:19 AM and I'm awake... WHY? but yay for saf ❤️
Same it's 1:19 too
Liz Pearson me too
Liz Pearson samee
Liz Pearson ~ same, same
Liz Pearson 12:21
I am here for Saf, time doesn't matter when it comes to Saf
i am here for u guadalupe!!
Safiya Nygaard love you. U are sooo funny 😂 and kinda match my personality
i keep coming back to this video! it made me realise that lipstick is my favourite makeup product~
Probably my most re-watched vid!!
What about "History of eyebrows?" I think it would be intresting. 😂
Alexa Cho, Saf would make it more intresting though.
Especially if Saf did examples of it on herself 😂
Lexy Rose I think that liza koshy should make that video I doubt she would do it though
Al Mri, That's not Lizas style though, Liza is more comedy skits.
Yaaas that would be so good
This is the kind of history class I would take. If saf was my history teacher, I would pay attention more 😂
YESS GET THAT SPONSOR BB!
When she said "glossy top coat" I thought I was watching Cristine for a sec
TheGaming Cake what's a topcoat I only know tacos
Cloudy lol same
@@emmagenet9670 well.... Hello there my Fellow Ravenclaw, Safiya and Cristine fan. We are so much alike
hehe me too
Cloudy surely, the fact she said ‘top coat’ and not taco’ is an indication that she is most decidedly not Cristine
You should make this a series and do "History of eyeliner/eyeshadow" next
and blush!
Prisso don't suggest ! Buzzfeed will steal the idea
Prisso Yasss!!! And maybe about the history of fashion too?
Cool
Eden Blue its too vague , it should have its own series like history of jeans,history of dresses , history of shoes but then it would divide into history of heels or history of sandals and dresses would divide too and etc.
Now, THAT'S the kind of content I like to see on TH-cam! I love Safiya's videos as she is actually thinking about her contents and does something creative. Who the hell needs all these challenges and all that other bullshit? Saf for the win! haha
Safiya, I love these educational videos! I have an interest in beauty history (and history in general), and I really enjoy watching these.
Thank you Safiya! This video was a big help to my school project about ancient roman make up and fashion. You are wonderful.
SAF! its my 13th BIRTHDAY today, and I've been watching you for pretty much the whole time you've had your channel, and it would mean the world if you saw this! I love you !
julia phillippi happy birthday babe!!
ALSO this video was SO FREAKING GOOD
julia phillippi HAPPY BIRTHDAY!🤗🎂🎂🍰🍰🎉🎉🎉🎉
Happy birthday! 😊😊❤️
Happy birthday!!!!!!!!
let's face it: if saf was my teacher, i think i'd have a 4.0 GPA by now.
Mariah Michelle I know right!?!?!
Mariah Michelle me too
Really enjoying your background music changes to go with the time period you're discussing. 😉👍🏻
The lipstick with mirror is dope we need to bring that back!
I like how when Safiya does sponsors it isn't the entire video. I have nothing against people getting sponsors because youtube IS a job and they do need the money, but sometimes people babble about their sponsor the entire video/ at a bad time.
dexa101
Well depending on the type of sponsor, they literally give a script for the YTer to read off of & they HAVE TO if they want that sponsor--hence the babbling aka long explanation of what the product is.
Game apps for ex tend to be lengthier.
Anything sponsored is read off or posted as the script given.
Even IG sponsored posts aren't their own words or modification of the script given. It's just copied & pasted.
I know, but I mean most of them make that 90% of the video (like having a story that isn't worth making a video about, and the entire thing just being an ad), and they usually do it at bad timing.
I really love the history of... videos, you should definitely try to do more, they are awesome!
im glad u like em olive!!
Safiya Nygaard if you're in NYC anytime soon and want to learn more about the makeup industry, you should check out War Paint on Broadway! It's the story of the rivalry between Helena Rubinstein and Elizabeth Arden.
agreed your history of videos are informative and interesting and breath of fresh air from other youtubers' stuff
Mom: you really should get off of TH-cam and do something educational
Me: But I am doing something educational
I'm In Too Many Fandoms!!!! That's my mom too! XD
Wow, you are a great documentarian. (I think that's the word). This was so interesting. I remember my grandmother showing me a tube of red lipstick and telling me this was victory red. I didn't know what she meant. But thanks to you I do know. It brought back a beautiful memory. (Granny let me use it when I went to my first school dance.) Cheers and thank you for all your hard work.
I feel like I was listening to a school report but better 😂
I died laughing at your profile pic!
didn't realize i was getting a history lesson until like half way through😂
sophia king ikr
This was such an interesting video!!! I may not be into cosmetics as much as other people but, this video was absolutely enticing. I'm a huge history buff so it was quite interesting to learn about the evolution of lipstick and the makeup industry. I hope you make more videos like this, it's by far my favorite one on your whole channel
I love this video so much. The subtle makeup changes between time periods. I would love more history videos!
Right?!
