I thought you were going to do a Victorian inspired no-makeup makeup look with modern products and techniques, but I LOVE that you went for historical accuracy instead, and even went to the lab to make your own “Victorian moisturiser”. This is amazing content.
She made a series last year on how make-up developed, changed, formed during different ERAs throughout history. It was an insert from it. You can still watch the series. Very eye-opening. The Victorian style prides itself on excess when it comes to architecture, but so to see was rather stingy when it came to make-up, prettifying women.. ♡♡♡ xx..
@@hellenoire Sure. The serie is called, *Make up: A Glamorous History Series: 1 Episode: 1,2,3.* It looks into the different trends that dominated societies, women, looks, make-up. It is an influence from the beauty's point of view. ... and I would add another giant element that influenced society equally from within and affected women, family structure - in case you like documentaries, I am a doc. junkie. It's a piece that is made about an old guy, who created (the idea of) Public Relation, Propaganda. He goes by the name, EDWARD BERNEYS. Each generation was directed, ever so gently pushed/ pulled towards a narrative and it's jaw-dropping to see how they managed - found a way - to influence this (their preferred views) in each ERA by newspaper headlines, articles, forms, shapes, sounds and even colours. Triggering your Subconscious mind. Something that goes unnoticed and noone is really aware of. Very interesting. It's called, *THE CENTURY OF THE SELF* .. xx..
@@08Stella Thank you so so much for your in depth and thorough response! I really appreciate it. I will definitely check out the series, it should be on the BBC website somewhere. I also found the full The Century of the Self documentary on TH-cam, I see there’s also some Freud in there too. Seems exciting. Thank you again for your help and recommendations! 🖤
“They trimmed their eyelashes because they believed they would come back thicker, which was a…shame.” Lol 😂 Lisa is always so understated in her commentary.❤
That was a rumor when I was in high school so I did it!! I trimmed my eyelashes in the vain hope they would grow back thicker. Of corse it didn’t happen. Instead it took months for them to regrow at all.
Lol!🤣 I shaved off my widow’s peak in high school because I had never particularly liked it. Instead of making me look prettier I just looked odd.🤪. And then I had to wait months and months for this strange little clump of hair to grow out of my forehead. It was a…shame.😉
My grandmothers were teens in the 1910’s in Catholic girl’s school (forbidden to wear makeup) - I remember both of them telling me all the girls would save up red and pink jelly beans from their Easter baskets to use as blush and lip stain - they’d hide them in their pockets to use when going to socials, dances, or seeing their beaus 😊
My father and his identical twin brother used to love smarties (chocolate with colourful sugar shells) because they could use those to do their makeup. They never grew out of that…..
Is this the summoning spell for Bernadette Banner? Really I love that Lisa really goes into the history section of makeup, and then flawlessly puts it on with historical accuracy.
@@LisaEldridge have you heard of youtubers like nostalgia critic, angry video game nerd, cinema snob, film brain, obscurus lupa, linkara, phelous, nostalgia chick, todd in the shadows, and rap critic
What I love about these videos is that they make ‘history’ so much more relatable, and not just a list of dates, events and names. Like a peek to everyday life of people of that time. Fascinating. Thank you!
As someone who worked with crepe paper for 7 years as a paper flower artist (also originally a Victorian craft), that part where Lisa is struggling to get the dye off of her hands - I FELT that in my bones. Those dyes are strong and they really get into the grooves of your skin 🥲
It’s funny to me that a period with such a maximalist decorative energy-swoops and flourishes and flounces-chose cosmetics, itself a decorative element, as its point of restraint lol. Whenever I hear a variation of “No Makeup Makeup” my brain autocorrects it to “Tuberculosis Chic,” although I always feel guilty-but it goes to show the competing priorities of demureness and a storybook prettiness they still valued, which was weirdly expressed by a disease they widely feared.
The recipe for how to make powder blush was in between the recipe for a pie crust and recipe for Dynamite. Yep, that sums up the Victorian era! Wonderful Lisa. Simply wonderful! 🤣❤️
Thank you very much for your time and your videos. This one is really fascinating. I have a story to share. I live in middle of one the biggest islands in the Mediterranean sea, in between the mountains, in Sardinia. My grandmother used to tell me that there was no makeup at all when she was young (she was born in 1910). She met my grandfather when she was very very young. She told me that girls, to get some color on their cheeks and lips, used to pitch their faces to get some flush. They were allowed to go for a walk in the evening only if one of their brothers or cousins was present. That is when she was able to meet my grandfather. And sometimes let's say, for special occasions, they used to sting their fingers with a needle and use the blood to colour their lips and cheeks. But my grandmother had an eye for business and, after years of farming she was able to open a store in the village, the first one. One of the things she was most proud of was that she was then been able to buy a lipstick (of course someone bought it for her from Rome, in our island it was otherwise nowhere to be found). It was a refillable stick, with a silver case and a little mirror on the side. To open it, you had to press a little torquise stone. She gifted it to me when I was a teenager. I cherish it because it is somehow the simbol of her femininity and also the simbol of her raise in the ranks of society in her village. And it reminds me of her and all the stories she used to tell me. Thanks if you made it to the end of my comment.
You are a true artist and story teller. So genuine, so authentic, and just so clever. I admire how you give everything 110% and its clear you dont do anything without a vision. Excellent work Lisa!!
Dear Lisa, getting an update from YT with you AND historical content had me gone awkwardly excited!! I did not watch the entire video yet but I know there will be A LOT of informations in it and that it will feel like *heaven*. Thank you so much! ❤
If I were a trainee MUA and you were my lecturer, nothing would feel like work! So interesting - you took us on a history lesson that was very fascinating. Our desire to adorn is so instinctive and it was fascinating to see how victorian women found a way to enhance their features and play with societal boundaries. Would love to see another historical make up lesson. Thank you so much for the time you took to do this for us. Very enjoyable and much appreciated 😊
I love this so much Lisa. Especially highlighting the lengths these stealthy clever women had to go to trick and undermine the patriarchal BS and puritanical hypocrisy and suppressive nature of the impossible always shifting standards of men in general. Women are smart and can overcome anything I believe. It’s not just about makeup, it’s about freedom to express and be what you want to be no matter how small the defiance may seem. I love the interpretation of the look as well. You are exquisite as usual in your curiosity and giving nature of knowledge you acquire in your field. 💕💕💕
It is true that women in Victorian society had very limited freedoms both socially and legally. However, Queen Victoria enforced oppression against women, which policing makeup because she found it “vulgar.” She may have been a woman in power, but she did very little in advancing women’s rights; women can and still bring down other women, unfortunately 😢.
You people need to comprehend that men weren't some protected class that reigned over some slave demographic of women. History is infinitely more nuanced than that.
UNBELIEVABLE. It looks stunning and is so subtle too. The castor oil trick is chef kiss and also the liquid rouge. Stressing times for girls as always but how creative they were.
Lisa, I couldn't help but notice how absolutely gorgeous and radiant your skin looks before you even started the tutorial! Would love to see your recent skincare routine as it seems to be working wonderfully to keep your skin looking so healthy and beautiful! ❤
I just graduated with a first from a History masters degree at Keele University so I was super excited when I saw you’d visited for your documentary! And I’ve always had such an interest in the history of makeup and beauty. And I absolutely I love this look and concept Lisa! ❤️ x
You did this in such a sincere way, like you were actually one of those women. Even telling us where you're going and the lighting to take into consideration. 🥰👌🏽 So perfectly executed. This is probably the only kind of history class id love to attend. mooooore pleeeease! 😁🙏
You can tell she loves history. I adore this. She’s got some serious charm and finesse.. and you can tell she’s reveling in her passion, history and makeup!
The lip fiasco stressed me out until I realized we don't have to worry about stupid morality laws anymore. Thank goodness for that!! I loved the recipes and the history, would love to see more like this!
What annoys me is the thought of that self absorbed, grumpy frump queen Victoria and her peers, held Europe's women as moral hostages ! Makeup for freedom !!! 💄💄💄💄💄💋💋💋💋💋
Fantastic! Can we have a non-proper Victorian look? Seems to me we also need the Victorian version of a "lady of the night"! I know I'd be just as fascinated to learn what they used. Looking forward to your next episode of this
Hi Lisa, I’ve been following your work for years and now proudly wearing your makeup products. All time fav lipstick: Velvet Myth! 🥰 I’m an Iranian descent and the footage videos coming out of Iran these days just breaks my heart. This video inspired me on how resilient women were and are in history against compulsory rules defined by the patriarchal sources of power in their era. They still showed autonomy on their bodies and decided on how they would like to represent in their day to day lives. So much bravery ✨
I didn’t realize your outfit was a costume from the thumbnail and even knowing it’s a costume I am still obsessed with how amazing it is, I legit would love to know where the jewelry and outfit are from,
The amount of preparation and research/general knowledge you put into this is inspiring, and I’m reconsidering the amount of makeup i wear and how dependent i am on it! Love this, thank you for your hard work ❤
I love that the historical side of youtube also has Lisa as the historical makeup artist! It's like she's the cherry on top in this community I have yet to find other historical makeup/skincare youtubers but if you guys know some, I would love to know
I would LOVE to see the lavender-type varnish laquer look, là madame X! I have always wondered how/what it was and how it was applied, especially at the time where makeup was a no-no. I've also heard that Princess Alexandra (later the Edwardians' Queen) was known to wear quite thick makeup in her later years, which was still during the last years of the victorian era. Please please please do a video on this 🙏🏻
We didn’t even have to say “trick or treat “ ❣️❣️You went ahead and treated us🥰💋 And the clips from your series are an extra special treat. Thank you SO much from the States❤
You an amazing artist, and you truly inspire me each time. I am happy I found this channel, during my medical leave. This really has brought my spirit up.
Love that your tutorials are so informative, both cosmetically and historically! So impressed w/ actual recipes and history of Victorian era! You are so appreciated across so many levels.
I love how you put yourself back in time with the theatre lights coming up and people seeing the lip color😅 This was SUCH a fun historical walk through with this makeup look. Turned out really beautiful too🙌❤
Fascinating stuff! So interesting, well thought out and professionally presented. My Grandmother (a young woman in the Edwardian period) said she and her sister would use a very fine artists brush and soot mixed with a tad of glycerin for her eyelashes & eyebrows and later as she aged she would use soot or boot blacking to hide any grey in her hair!!! Dread to think what her pillowcases looked like she gave me a tortoiseshell handled chamois nail buffer which was incredibly effective
I absolutely adore this idea, this video, and how you kept it super authentic down to even using the same application techniques and paraphernalia. What a brilliant idea and executed flawlessly. Thank you for this! I watched the entire video and never once lost interest.
I love your explanation of what wearing make up ment to that period. Only harlots and women of the night wore make up. No women wanted to look like they had anything on. Also, during this period there was wave of religious artistry that had become extremely popular. This in turn created a huge trend to achieve that look. Beautiful wide eyes, fair unblemished skin and absolutely no make up. Just like how we are influenced by what we seen in art, and our media we try to replicate that look, so did the they. It's incredible to see how much makeup has been so influential for society. Even tho we don't realize it, the way we look has really affected how our society has developed. Love your content Lisa 💗 I love how it provokes thoughts and discussion!!
These historical makeup/beauty videos really lift my spirit. I have had such a "current-day-fatigue" for quite a while now. I m tired of the duck lips, cheek fillers, fake butts & boobs as well as the overall drag inspired makeup. I d rather dwell in historic and classic makeup. So fun to watch
At 60 now, I feel the 'no makeup' makeup look, preceded by good skin care, is best. Morality has nothing to do with it.😉 This was a fun video. Your appreciation for authenticity is admirable. Pleasure to watch. Thanks, Lisa! ✨
I love this. I applied a little Chanel cc cream mixed with Jane Airedale smooth affair to my face, just can’t quite go the no coverage, then applied my By Terry hyaluronic powder with a dry beauty blender and buffed it all in. Super no makeup look. Did eyes with mascara and dark tight lined with powder shadow. So easy and clean and polished. ❤❤
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for doing your historical pieces, they are informative and amazing. I'm glad you had a story for your red fingers and hand...you don't want to be on the wrong side of the moral compass. 😉
I've always been fascinated by the Victorian era, so this was absolute catnip for me! Thank you so much for such a detailed and authentic presentation!! And I must say, you make a very beautiful Victorian lady...
What a treat Lisa! You look amazing as a Victorian babe - you sure you aren’t a time traveller? 😍 a no makeup look is so iconic, think I’ll try this for the office tomorrow (albeit with modern makeup 😂) my granny had very Victorian values and obvious makeup was frowned upon around her but in hushed tones to nearest and dearest she would suggest applying a little rouge on special occasions.. I can just imagine Victorian sisters swapping products and recipes in secret 😍 how sweet!
Oh my goodness! This video has been so inspiring and enriching and incredibly interesting… I am still speechless, Lisa. Thank you SO much for this - can’t wait for the next one. I’m a huge fan of natural no makeup makeup. Thank you Thank you Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽
I adore Victorian beauty and vanity, this video was beautiful. Please do more of these, as I also get a sparkle in my eye when I see and learn about these things and learn more about the time and history.
Ooh that’s fancy!! So cool to go back in time & see how makeup was used, treated & viewed. Lisa I love your historical videos, I actually find them quite educational! Please don’t stop making them!❤
I admire your bravery putting all those weird things on your skin. My skin would freak out with all those ingredients. I would have skipped the blush and continuously pinched my cheeks.
I like to try the actual formula to see how it really would have looked in reality … but yes I have tried some awful things from n my skin over the years 😬😬😬😬😂
This is so fascinating, especially the homemade makeup recipes! Also, I always thought Lisa reminded me of Nigella Lawson in both manners and speech (and of course the hair!), but at 17:21 the whole scene made it feel even more reminiscent 🙈❤
These are my favorite kind of videos of yours, Lisa...I love how an historic topic ties into the whole culture of the day. Just fascinating. It always saddens me how we women have had to endure such oppression and still do. Much love!
This is fantastic! I love that you talk about historical ingredients. So many people freak out when they learn how much red pigment is from cochineal. BUGS!!? lol
This is so neat! I always learn so much from your videos and was not expecting an informative history lesson! Your love of ALL things makeup and how it ties in to history is fascinating. Thank you, Lisa!
Good evening Lisa love this type of video it reminds me of my late grandmother she was born in 1869 /1965 she never wore makeup the only thing she used was glistening & rose water she had beautiful skin as did my mother she would have got mad if she saw me with makeup on as she used to say you’ll ruin you skin so funny when I think of it Enjoyed the video see you soon 🌺🌸🌹🌷
I love these historical videos! They're such a treat! As the daughter of a woman who has never worn makeup and whose female ancestors (except for my grandmother) didn't either, I am always surprised to learn what kind of techniques existed even in the time periods when makeup was a taboo. People always found a way to look good :-)
Queen Victoria also used elder flower water to wash her face. Some ladies used burnt cork for darkening lashes and brows and don't forget to brighten your eyes with Belladonna drops! :)
Love this video so much - also all the makeup history episodes! Please do more, Lisa, these are great to watch and your commentary and contextualisation so insightful and funny
Fascinating and informative. I think this and that amazing conversion of a white blond into Elizabeth Taylor are my absolute favourites, for demonstrating the utter opposites of how makeup can be used.
You inspire me and get me excited about makeup all over again! Thank you for this fascinating historical makeup lesson. Lisa you’re truly one of a kind 🥹💋💕
I actually like the healthy glow of your cheeks, so pretty 😍 This was THE BEST history lesson I've ever had - Of course we want more Lisa, why on earth would you need to ask 😉💗💗💗
That was amazing! Very interesting. I also was expecting a look using contemporary products, but was fascinated by the recipes and their performance. I gasped when you put charcoal on your lashes!!! Your finished look was very fresh-faced and I quite enjoyed the social history lesson as well. A collab I never thought I'd ask for, but maybe your next one could be with Mrs. Crocombe of the English Heritage channel??? xx
Actually this reminds me my school days. In Korea, you were not allowed to apply make up in school in 90s. School girls would apply sunscreens ,baby powder and cherry Chapstick!
I’m not being a kissass or anything but you’re fascinating Lisa! I’ve never seen a makeup artist doing a video like this. Not even remotely close. It’s very informative. I had no idea Victorian women were doing things like that👍🏼😮💕xx also can’t wait for my holiday collection pieces to arrive 🎉
Yeah Lisa! History & Make-up is a great combo! I just finished renovating my Powder Room. I’d love to see a series from you studying the history of architecture, furniture, mirrors, pottery/glassware & jewelry designed to support the practice of storing & applying make-up!

Love that your tutorials are so informative, both cosmetically and historically! So impressed w/ actual recipes and history of Victorian era! You are so appreciated across so many levels.
So lovely of you to say, I'm so pleased you enjoy them xxx
I love how you put yourself back in time with the theatre lights coming up and people seeing the lip color😅 This was SUCH a fun historical walk through with this makeup look. Turned out really beautiful too🙌❤
Fascinating stuff! So interesting, well thought out and professionally presented. My Grandmother (a young woman in the Edwardian period) said she and her sister would use a very fine artists brush and soot mixed with a tad of glycerin for her eyelashes & eyebrows and later as she aged she would use soot or boot blacking to hide any grey in her hair!!! Dread to think what her pillowcases looked like she gave me a tortoiseshell handled chamois nail buffer which was incredibly effective
I was so into this I actually found myself getting worried when the crepe paper gave off too much colour! Enjoyed this immensely x
I absolutely adore this idea, this video, and how you kept it super authentic down to even using the same application techniques and paraphernalia. What a brilliant idea and executed flawlessly. Thank you for this! I watched the entire video and never once lost interest.
I would LOVE to see more of these! The research and devotion that went into this is wonderful! Thank you!
This was absolutely fascinating ! Thanks a lot Lisa !
I love your explanation of what wearing make up ment to that period. Only harlots and women of the night wore make up. No women wanted to look like they had anything on. Also, during this period there was wave of religious artistry that had become extremely popular. This in turn created a huge trend to achieve that look. Beautiful wide eyes, fair unblemished skin and absolutely no make up. Just like how we are influenced by what we seen in art, and our media we try to replicate that look, so did the they. It's incredible to see how much makeup has been so influential for society. Even tho we don't realize it, the way we look has really affected how our society has developed. Love your content Lisa 💗 I love how it provokes thoughts and discussion!!
Your historical make up videos are SUPER interesting and you yourself glow with enthusiam! So, YES, make more for us! ♥️♥️♥️
These historical makeup/beauty videos really lift my spirit. I have had such a "current-day-fatigue" for quite a while now. I m tired of the duck lips, cheek fillers, fake butts & boobs as well as the overall drag inspired makeup. I d rather dwell in historic and classic makeup. So fun to watch
At 60 now, I feel the 'no makeup' makeup look, preceded by good skin care, is best.
Morality has nothing to do with it.😉
This was a fun video. Your appreciation for authenticity is admirable.
Pleasure to watch.
Thanks, Lisa! ✨
I love this. I applied a little Chanel cc cream mixed with Jane Airedale smooth affair to my face, just can’t quite go the no coverage, then applied my By Terry hyaluronic powder with a dry beauty blender and buffed it all in. Super no makeup look. Did eyes with mascara and dark tight lined with powder shadow. So easy and clean and polished. ❤❤
Absolutely loved this! Please cover other eras Lisa, this was fascinating! ❤
Adds a new dimension to the phrase "caught red-handed"
This was the most fascinating, informative makeup tutorial I've ever watched!
These are my favorite videos!!! Please do more historical makeup vids!
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you for doing your historical pieces, they are informative and amazing. I'm glad you had a story for your red fingers and hand...you don't want to be on the wrong side of the moral compass. 😉
I've always been fascinated by the Victorian era, so this was absolute catnip for me! Thank you so much for such a detailed and authentic presentation!! And I must say, you make a very beautiful Victorian lady...
Only Lisa can make this kind of super informative makeup videos. Love this. So inspiring.
"I don't think I'm gonna get away with this. I think I'm gonna be pulled in for an examination." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i loved this, I would love to see you do a series like this on makeup throughout history!
What a treat Lisa! You look amazing as a Victorian babe - you sure you aren’t a time traveller? 😍 a no makeup look is so iconic, think I’ll try this for the office tomorrow (albeit with modern makeup 😂) my granny had very Victorian values and obvious makeup was frowned upon around her but in hushed tones to nearest and dearest she would suggest applying a little rouge on special occasions.. I can just imagine Victorian sisters swapping products and recipes in secret 😍 how sweet!
Oh my goodness! This video has been so inspiring and enriching and incredibly interesting… I am still speechless, Lisa. Thank you SO much for this - can’t wait for the next one. I’m a huge fan of natural no makeup makeup. Thank you Thank you Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you , I’m really happy you enjoyed it 😘😘😘😘😘
I adore Victorian beauty and vanity, this video was beautiful. Please do more of these, as I also get a sparkle in my eye when I see and learn about these things and learn more about the time and history.
Your historical make-up series are the best! ❤️
I found this tutorial to be so resourceful. I like how you kept with the Victorian fashion of dress & hair as well. I thoroughly enjoyed this.
Not the video I was expecting, but had the best time time watching it! 😊❤️❤️
Ooh that’s fancy!! So cool to go back in time & see how makeup was used, treated & viewed. Lisa I love your historical videos, I actually find them quite educational! Please don’t stop making them!❤
I could tell you were having so much fun and I could feel the joy and play in all of this. What a fun one!
I admire your bravery putting all those weird things on your skin. My skin would freak out with all those ingredients. I would have skipped the blush and continuously pinched my cheeks.
I like to try the actual formula to see how it really would have looked in reality … but yes I have tried some awful things from n my skin over the years 😬😬😬😬😂
Fascinating! I absolutely loved your documentary series when it was on, it’s wonderful to see you revisit it here 🤩
This is so fascinating, especially the homemade makeup recipes! Also, I always thought Lisa reminded me of Nigella Lawson in both manners and speech (and of course the hair!), but at 17:21 the whole scene made it feel even more reminiscent 🙈❤
Love these historical videos! Please do more! ❤❤❤
These are my favorite kind of videos of yours, Lisa...I love how an historic topic ties into the whole culture of the day. Just fascinating. It always saddens me how we women have had to endure such oppression and still do. Much love!
Absolutely adore this video. Thank you so much for the authentic, historical cosmetic creation and application.
A triumph!
Thanks 😊 xx
Love this one! I really loved your series and I'm always up for any historical makeup content 💕
This is fantastic! I love that you talk about historical ingredients. So many people freak out when they learn how much red pigment is from cochineal. BUGS!!? lol
How did you know a victorian lady us my Halloween costume this year? 😮 You wonderful psychic
Please make and post that other video! I’m obsessed with the Victorian period, and this was so good!
Thank you! Xx
This is so neat! I always learn so much from your videos and was not expecting an informative history lesson! Your love of ALL things makeup and how it ties in to history is fascinating. Thank you, Lisa!
Good evening Lisa love this type of video it reminds me of my late grandmother she was born in 1869 /1965 she never wore makeup the only thing she used was glistening & rose water she had beautiful skin as did my mother she would have got mad if she saw me with makeup on as she used to say you’ll ruin you skin so funny when I think of it
Enjoyed the video see you soon 🌺🌸🌹🌷
I love these historical videos! They're such a treat!
As the daughter of a woman who has never worn makeup and whose female ancestors (except for my grandmother) didn't either, I am always surprised to learn what kind of techniques existed even in the time periods when makeup was a taboo. People always found a way to look good :-)
Queen Victoria also used elder flower water to wash her face. Some ladies used burnt cork for darkening lashes and brows and don't forget to brighten your eyes with Belladonna drops! :)
Love this video so much - also all the makeup history episodes! Please do more, Lisa, these are great to watch and your commentary and contextualisation so insightful and funny
Fascinating and informative. I think this and that amazing conversion of a white blond into Elizabeth Taylor are my absolute favourites, for demonstrating the utter opposites of how makeup can be used.
You inspire me and get me excited about makeup all over again! Thank you for this fascinating historical makeup lesson. Lisa you’re truly one of a kind 🥹💋💕
I actually like the healthy glow of your cheeks, so pretty 😍
This was THE BEST history lesson I've ever had - Of course we want more Lisa, why on earth would you need to ask 😉💗💗💗
That was amazing! Very interesting. I also was expecting a look using contemporary products, but was fascinated by the recipes and their performance. I gasped when you put charcoal on your lashes!!! Your finished look was very fresh-faced and I quite enjoyed the social history lesson as well. A collab I never thought I'd ask for, but maybe your next one could be with Mrs. Crocombe of the English Heritage channel??? xx
Actually this reminds me my school days. In Korea, you were not allowed to apply make up in school in 90s. School girls would apply sunscreens ,baby powder and cherry Chapstick!
Love this, my favourite kind of history lesson! 'Violent Rouge' would be a great blush name! 😉♥️
The crepe paper lips would be a dead giveaway, but you look pretty and the effects of Victorian makeup so natural. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Of course we are interested Lisa! I love hearing about the history behind products and your perspective is always insightful.
I’m not being a kissass or anything but you’re fascinating Lisa! I’ve never seen a makeup artist doing a video like this. Not even remotely close. It’s very informative. I had no idea Victorian women were doing things like that👍🏼😮💕xx also can’t wait for my holiday collection pieces to arrive 🎉
Yeah Lisa! History & Make-up is a great combo! I just finished renovating my Powder Room. I’d love to see a series from you studying the history of architecture, furniture, mirrors, pottery/glassware & jewelry designed to support the practice of storing & applying make-up!
Lisa, it’s been a masterclass not only about makeup but also about history! I loved it, thanks a lot! 😘😘
