HIII guys! Sorry for the late upload this week, I was exhausted from our Halloween party (aand also The Walking Dead PLUS Stranger Things? C'mon). I know this isn't everyone's cup of tea but it's something that I had tons of fun with so I hope you at least have some fun! Also I'm no historian so feel free to let me know about any inaccuracies, I love learning about this time period. OH and yeah I went a little crazy with the editing and references, but it's been a while so I think it all just got bottled up and 'SPLODED. Okay, bye I LOVE YOU ALL!
Loved the video, it was great! And I loved the editing! I'm actually doing a final paper on makeup use for my Graduate Renaissance Drama class, it's a super interesting topic. The blue veins they painted on is how the term "blue bloods" came to be used for aristocracy and the noble class. Makeup was a sign of social mobility and feminity. In drama, there's an added layer of meaning: since all the actors were men (women were banned from being actresses), they denoted female characters by painting their faces completely white with red rouge. That is one of the reasons this style was popularized in the 1500 and 1600's, because lower class women would see these plays and 'know' how the supposed upper class ladies wore makeup, because the male actors took their cues from the noblewomen, who in turn often times looked to Queen Elizabeth I for inspiration, who was known for her 'mask' of white makeup. It's just so interesting! That was before Marie Antoinette's time, of course, but it still fascinates me.
I admire how you style the wig. I’m doing a Marie Antoinette and as frustrated as I get, I decided to buy the MA wig instead. I’m also making a dress. Lord help me, making the bodice is another story. But hopefully I’ll be done by the end of the month. Love your videos. You’re very encouraging. Thank you so much 💕💕💕
They totally used the silk spots to cover up scars. They created a secret language with the sticker placement that acted like fan language or flower language. At some points used to shave off their eyebrows and glue on false eyebrows made out of door mouse pelts when their natural brows were not up to standard. Also court ladies were sometimes known to stuff their cheeks with cork so that their faces looked round and chubby. That along with false teeth would not make for very good conversation.
Wow we share so much common interest, to marie antoinette and vintage style to video games and geek pop culture (never thought to see that combination in another person lol), that is impossible for me not to love this channel and everything that you create in it.
Have you watched Zabrenas historically accurate make-up tutorials, they're my favourite.. oo and Lisa Eldridge vintage make-up series too:D Awesome video btw!
Luna Limi yes on both! I love Lisa Eldridge. Omg, beside the vintage make up tutorials (I'll be forever in awe of the one where she uses original Biba makeup, but hey! I'm a 60s gal!) I like to watch and rewatch the two about history of makeup with Madeleine Marsh 😍
I just finished studying about this era in my costume design class, and there are so many little fun facts about makeup. Yes, they did cover up their scars from smallpox with beauty marks, most likely in a heart or star
I would sooo struggle with all that hair!! You aced it doll! I need a video of some of your favorite movies with different categories! I feel I would dig your library!
Great as always Rachel! Those updos (although they were all wigs) look extremely hard to achieve, I'm pretty sure they had little ladders underneath to make them that tall.
How did you know a bought a white wig last week. Although I'm chickening out/ itching to get the easy route and go as Kiki (as in Kiki's delivery service) instead.
You look lovely and it's obvious how much fun you had, especially with the feather. lol Plus...learning! Yay for fun facts! :D Glad you had fun with your Halloween party! Happy Halloween Rachel!!!
Lovely as always! This video with the historical facts reminded me of the "Dangers of the _ House" series. They go through the Tudor, Edwardian, Victorian, 50s, etc..It's super interesting just how unsafe some of the things people did back in the day.
I loved this video! I love The Duchess and Marie Antionette (read both books and love the movies) and this time period is one of my favorite subjects! One day I will make a French gown, ~oNe DaY~.
The moment I saw an edge of your face on the notification I was like "OH, Marie Antoinette!" - and you didn't dissappoint. Loved this look, it's such a good idea
How the heck did you put on that wig so easily!? Also, the end product looks so nice, and the little tidbits of info are really interesting, great video :D
I love this look! You're so creative ♡ Also, thanks to you I bought my first vintage inspired dress last week and I'm so excited to get an outfit together ♡
Real Housewives of Versailles! Deceased haha :D also love that foundation, that's my shade too. I'm actually super pale especially in the winter. Love this look!
Ohhhhhhhh girl look at you! Amazing! I love, love, love it!!!!!!! Lol your sooooooo fun! Love your videos "REAL HOUSEWIFE" killed me lol lol oh geeze woman 😜😜😜😜😝🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻🙅🏻
I’m glad you credited Georgiana in this. Not enough people recognize her anymore. It’s always about Marie. Sorry I just have a lot of feelings about Georgiana Cavendish
I loved this it was really interesting and fun as always your editing blew me away but your videos always do! I loved all the historical facts and how you showed how you did it as well plus....I got a secret...me loves ya!
I love the Marie Antoinette movie starring Kirsten Dunst, so I screamed on the top of my lungs when I saw the thumbnail. :) You look beautiful again, and if someone dares to say something else, just let them eat cake. :D (Oh god such a forced joke please forgive me xd)
Exactly! :) The whole movie is a big eye candy. :D Everything was amazing and I wish there were more movies like that! :) And damn, those scenes with the cakes and other desserts... :D
Beautiful look! Love the clothes! But I do feel like the hair had a lot of room for improvement... powdering and teasing the hair would have not only provided the texture needed to make styling easier, but also helped the height and shape of the hair, as well as taking away that unnatural "wiggy" shine, not to mention making things a tiny bit more historically accurate. 💁♀️
You looked beautiful and the video made my morning, thank you) If there are art lovers in the comments, there is a speedpaint of Rachel's portrait on my channel, hope you enjoy ^^

Lol...I love all your fun facts:)
The fact that you are clumsy makes you even cuter ..
Rachel we should totally do a Real Housewives of Versailles, PLEASE
ShantiLives Hahahaha YES, it'd be a hit 😂
I love how you added interesting facts about makeup from this era. So much more than a GRWM. THIS is why you are among TH-cam's finest.
Ahh you're too good to me! 😊

helloyellow06 Woah that is really fascinating!! I could read about this stuff forever! Humans are so weird 😂❤️

Loving this look. I adore Marie Antoinette, so glad you used that movie as inspo. This turned out great.
Kathy Berger It's a pastel dream 😭😭❤️❤️

I am so pale i already have blue veins on my face. i would have been a beauty queen in the 18th century.
lol me too! funny how things change
Hahaha love it ❤️❤️❤️
In love I have such an obsession with Marie Antionette ! Beautiful rendition
Me too! Thank you love!!
For a second I thought the music was the Monsters Inc. Theme song 😂😂
HAHA YESS
hahaha that would have been awesomeeeee!
@@rachelmaksy maybe you should add the Monsters Inc theme to a video 😚
Wow we share so much common interest, to marie antoinette and vintage style to video games and geek pop culture (never thought to see that combination in another person lol), that is impossible for me not to love this channel and everything that you create in it.
Blair Wolfe Ahh you're the sweetest thank you so so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank god for modern cosmetics! I don't think it would be entirely wholesome to be historical-accurate, y'know, with the dying and all
Malaika Astre Hahaha not exactly worth it 😂
I like that you added so many fun facts! Keep up the great work Rachel
Thank you my love!!
Have you watched Zabrenas historically accurate make-up tutorials, they're my favourite.. oo and Lisa Eldridge vintage make-up series too:D Awesome video btw!
Luna Limi Yes!!! I love them! I haven't heard of the second one, totally gonna check it out 😊😊
Luna Limi yes on both! I love Lisa Eldridge.
Omg, beside the vintage make up tutorials (I'll be forever in awe of the one where she uses original Biba makeup, but hey! I'm a 60s gal!) I like to watch and rewatch the two about history of makeup with Madeleine Marsh 😍
ockham Me too I've watched that hour long interview at least 20 times:D
I’m French, my name is Marie and I love Marie Antoinette so seeing Rachel being Marie Antoinette is amazing wow
I just finished studying about this era in my costume design class, and there are so many little fun facts about makeup. Yes, they did cover up their scars from smallpox with beauty marks, most likely in a heart or star
maia malanee Good to know!! I love the fact that men got all dolled up too 😎
I would sooo struggle with all that hair!! You aced it doll! I need a video of some of your favorite movies with different categories! I feel I would dig your library!
Holly K Hahaha I definitely did struggle 😂❤️ Ohh that sounds fun!
I friggin love your voice overs. You're always so funny.
Heehee thank you!!
Fun Fact :The placement of a patch was sometimes used to indicate which political party one aligned themselves with.
Oooo!!!
Keep doing more of these, I love them! 💓
_You should totally do Keira Knightley!_
Ariel Thank you!! I think I will, I had so much fun! I'd love to do a Keira look!
YAY CANT WAIT
They were dying for this look as well. Literally.
Great as always Rachel! Those updos (although they were all wigs) look extremely hard to achieve, I'm pretty sure they had little ladders underneath to make them that tall.
Arovarel Some of them were wigs and some weren't which I find astounding 😂 They used cushions and padding to achieve the volume!
Wow... that's impressive
Looks great. The dress is next!! (Love these dressing gowns tho!)
How did you know a bought a white wig last week.
Although I'm chickening out/ itching to get the easy route and go as Kiki (as in Kiki's delivery service) instead.
ockham Hehehe❤️ Omg love Kiki 😭❤️
BTW, where do you get that first dress? It's so perty.
Rae Smith It's a vintage nightgown and robe I got from a vintage shop forever ago and have never worn 😂😂
This was so great you look really good with blond hair too !
Thank you so so much!!
I would love to see an updated effort of this, like trying that giant hair from The Duchess haha
The velvet patches and makeup were also used to cover syphilitic marks! :D
Hahaha oh good! They were clever 😂😂
I too am super interested in this period of history A++ video. The lipstick turned out really lovely
Becca Cottrell Thank you so much!! It was a baffling but super interesting era! Gotta love how dedicated they were to aesthetics 😂
Awwwww, soo pweeeety! Nice feather action btw! 'let them eat cake!' 🍰🍰🍰😘Xx
Heehee 😊😊
You look lovely and it's obvious how much fun you had, especially with the feather. lol Plus...learning! Yay for fun facts! :D Glad you had fun with your Halloween party! Happy Halloween Rachel!!!
Kim Anderson Heehee thank you so much!! Who doesn't love dress up?!
Love fashion from this era!!! 🤤💖
Miranda Dickel Me too 😭 So intricate ❤️❤️
Lovely as always! This video with the historical facts reminded me of the "Dangers of the _ House" series. They go through the Tudor, Edwardian, Victorian, 50s, etc..It's super interesting just how unsafe some of the things people did back in the day.
Ohh!!! That sounds right up my alley hehehe
th-cam.com/video/Sy7iUoWi_-U/w-d-xo.html It's actually called "Hidden Killers" haha
love this era
Me too, so aesthetically pleasing hehe 😊
The blush was most likely to make the white face more natural looking
I loved this video! I love The Duchess and Marie Antionette (read both books and love the movies) and this time period is one of my favorite subjects! One day I will make a French gown, ~oNe DaY~.
Omg right? One of those gowns is on my Cosplay Bucket List lol
The moment I saw an edge of your face on the notification I was like "OH, Marie Antoinette!" - and you didn't dissappoint. Loved this look, it's such a good idea

Hahaha that wig is such a mess! Loved every moment! I guess the answer is curl, curl, curl!
Lesia's Tale Hahaha SO MANY BOBBIE PINS. Definitely would be better with real hair that was curled beforehand 😂😂
I think they styled the wig on a stand and wore it when it was ready... Cause no aristocrat is going to sit through all that curling! hahah
I love the movie with Kirsten dunst

AND, you've inspired me to try and wear more skirts. lol.
I love the Marie Antoinette movie starring Kirsten Dunst, so I screamed on the top of my lungs when I saw the thumbnail. :) You look beautiful again, and if someone dares to say something else, just let them eat cake. :D (Oh god such a forced joke please forgive me xd)
Me too!! Coppola did such a good job making Marie more modern and relatable! Also the SETS AND COSTUMESSS AHH
Exactly! :) The whole movie is a big eye candy. :D Everything was amazing and I wish there were more movies like that! :) And damn, those scenes with the cakes and other desserts... :D
Gorgeous xxxx
The House Of Hats Thank you my beauty!
"Kevin from the office" 😂
Basically twins!
I must say you had a kind of Daenarys Targaryen vibe here before you pinned up your hair!
Hehehe I initially got the wig for my Daenerys cosplay so thank you!! 😊
You should do a video where you live like a 1950's housewife.. please :)
You look like Kirsten Dunst! 😀
Thats So Ari Ahhh thank you!! I wish 😂😂❤️❤️
Beautiful look! Love the clothes! But I do feel like the hair had a lot of room for improvement... powdering and teasing the hair would have not only provided the texture needed to make styling easier, but also helped the height and shape of the hair, as well as taking away that unnatural "wiggy" shine, not to mention making things a tiny bit more historically accurate. 💁♀️
Cute!
Eeeeeppppp that's so cool! ^^
