How to be Pretty - 1940's Guide for High School Girls [Color]

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 4 ต.ค. 2024
- Ponds beauty consultant Mary Stuyvesant dishes out some home spun advice to a group of high school girls on how to look prettier by simply following some basic rules.
This short video is a color and audio restored broadcast quality edit of an old Ponds promotional film. and edited in context.
Looking pretty, according to Miss Stuyvesant, is not just about dress code, clothes, hairstyle or makeup. Though these are important to any girl. You can see Mary's other detailed tutorials here on our channel via the links on the video. They deal in detail on the subjects of makeup like rouge, lipsticks, eye shadows and the correct hairstyles for face shape.
The first part of this lecture, featured here, is about the basics. A good diet, a healthy sleep, and plenty of exercise.
"Makeup, hair and clothes", says Mary, " are just the trimmings, like the icing on the cake. But if the cake itself isn't good, you'll soon lose interest in the icing".

At first I laughed at the fact that people used to lose sleep over “writing letters and listening to swing music” but then I realized I’m losing sleep over texting and watching TH-cam videos..
Yea
God bless
Lmfao!! That is sooooo the truth
You and me both man ♥️
I’m the 999 like I’m triggered 😭😔
The fact that a video from the 40's makes me want to practice self-care more than my PE/health teachers is kinda sad.
I do self care almost every day. Oh wait...
As for the other comment. In our school PE teachers did health class in 8th grade back when I was in (which admittedly was a while ago, but no, I'm no boomer). Funny thing about health class is it didn't teach us to be healthy. We mostly covered how bad drugs were and some really basic reproductive stuff.
Oh in my new school, we don’t have “PE”. We have ‘Physical Fitness’! 😁
@@_xomaddyox_ there's another kind of fitness??
@@spacebar9733 Yes. It’s supposed to be more fancier.
@@_xomaddyox_ lol nvm
At first I thought I was gonna get a Old woman telling me I’m ugly but I actually got a grandma telling me to take care of myself
The grandma has a wonderful figure.
Same 😳
A Great-Grandma more like it.
I didn't know being pretty is something you can learn, what a wonderful idea.
a grandma? how old u is ?
i love how she talks about getting sleep and not "sitting up in bed writing letters and listening to swing records".. kids back then did the same things we did! staying up texting our friends and listening to our headphones, lol.
except writing a letter is the fucking most boring thing you can do as a kid
@@CAndela24ifyif you have no phone and it's the only communication for some people it's great! I did it with a friend of mine, because we couldn't talk long on telephone. This was only 20 years ago, i was like 8. It's pretty cool if you just want to tell someone about your day or your favourite movie you just watched. It's the same as now basicly, but slower.
@@CAndela24ify Not true, depends on the kid! I love writing letters or just writing in general stories before bed :)
@@CAndela24ify not true. Im a 2000 kid but i wrote a lot of letter when i was around 6 for my brother who lives overseas. Had a blast writing letters especially decorating it with cute stickers.
@@Vyansya sounds more like a scrapbook than a letter at this point
"when you gotta sleep but your swing record is fire."
spychecker this is such an underrated comment
That record was swinging huh?
Lmao best comment on the internet
Im rolling XD
lmao
I love how at the end she explains that being pretty is not the important part, it’s taking care of yourself
Well that depends, i think she more off said that to look pretty you need to take care of yourself.
@@stickystick1048 this is so sweet and wholesome what more lies could our history books have told us
@@XxPanda6 what?
@@XxPanda6 She literally said "good health and intelligent physical care are the foundations of all beauty"
@@XxPanda6 and at the end she said "you will be prettier you will be more popular" if you will take care of yourself.
I've never seen a comment section with so many people having so many preconceptions being so pleasantly surprised. Don't assume something is "outdated" because society has "progressed." There is such a thing as timeless wisdom and advice, after all!
Unfortunately we’ve lost a lot of that wisdom because our society has only ‘progressed’ like cancer progresses.
@@bluecannibaleyes Wow. Im gonna use this.
Yes!
We didn't have that misconception out of thin air. What we thought was widely accepted. But to hear this specifically wasn't the case was indeed surprising.
Yeah, but usually it doesn't go viral
"Sometimes I want to shake you girls when you worry too much about being pretty, or not being pretty as though prettiness were a woman's only attraction." This is something that still applies today! Great advice Miss Stuyvesant!
Sure, but then she immediately changes the girls appearance to be “prettier” instead of asserting it’s more worthwhile to happy and healthy.
It does an awful job of hiding how much everything in this time WAS about making women pretty and ready for marriage. It’s ghastly just how much people are watching this and not picking up on that.
@@e.tominsteadand how she literally explained at the beginning how it is the most important thing. very contradictory. but i do understand the premise
Agree❤
Who is she that’s talking
@@e.tominstead I wouldn't necessarily agree. It was to show what happens when you do all the things mentioned. Being active and eating healthy makes you slimmer and looking more radiant, wearing the right clothes for your body type and shape can elevate your style and sometimes visually even posture. Often self care and beauty get too mixed up. Someone taking care of themselves and looking well doesn't always mean that they're vain and beauty focused. Simple self care naturally makes you look better.
"Just like icing on a cake. If the icing is good, well thats fine. But if the cake it's self isn't good, you soon loose interest in the icing"
That was genius.
No it wasn't. I'll just eat the icing.
@@TawnyC_ that's the thing. You will not eat the cake, and it will go to waste. Icing is nice but it will not make you full.
@@thwb4661 Who needs to get full? I just like icing.
@@TawnyC_ Ah yes but this is metaphorical icing! It's the same as a man (or woman!) thinking you are pretty because you've trowelled on the make-up, squeezed into your control knickers and got tanked up to be the life and soul of the party. He will be thinking 'yummy'! Unfortunately the first time he sees you bleary eyed and spotty, with bed hair and your stomach hanging over your pjs he will decide a dry old fruitcake is not for him and go find a nice fresh Victoria sponge 😉.
@@cyflym11 These couple of comments here between you three are pretty darn funny😊👏💕
The irony of her saying *beauty sleep* is an old expression 😭
Means the term has been there longer than we think
@ShaisPas Eh not really
ppl still don’t say that? in england we say that
@@os4kis.301 I’m in The United States, we say it here as well. It’s just a saying, no biggie about it being old. Lol.
I don't see the irony in it lol. It was an old expression then, so obviously it's an old expression now.
Why is she more encouraging than my actual parents???
From the grave too-

I am so sorry ❤
girl u ain't hadda do her like that😭
How interesting that the same treatments for “how to be pretty” are the same remedies for depression . Taking daily showers , getting enough sleep , eating nutritious foods , exercising/being playful outdoors where you get sunshine , getting your tasks done vigorously / being productive . Basically doing things to improve yourself as a whole make you prettier without even trying . Love this video . Girls today should watch it
Depressed people are not pretty 😎
Kids nowadays are far too gone for this.
i thought curing depression is more complicated than that
Okay but the idea they’re providing is that you should do these things to improve your looks. Everything, especially then, for a young lady is centered around her looks so she’ll someday be marriable. These things should be promoted because they can make you happier and stronger.
The food portion is also incredibly outdated.
@@e.tominsteadvery good observation.
Notice that exercise isn’t in the gym. It’s doing something fun outside. Actually a really good tip.
Fresh air filling your lungs, vitamin d absorption, a chance to smell a flower or smile at a neighbor...
Hello how are you
@@melissak8892 You stay out of that sun and go change your sex if you feel in the mood. This video is garbage!
@@pistachiosandpopcorn7146 What?
That and gym culture wouldn’t be a thing for another 30-35 years.
I love how they talk about eating enough but not starving yourself.
The truth is, health is beauty. "Starving" yourself has never been a good thing. Quick fixes rarely hold anyway. It is simply a balance of just the right sustainable amount but not too much :)
This Lady is telling me to eat more then any beauty tip video, and by how healthy she herself looks I don't doubt it!
And how it's actually based in nutrition and not just fat shaming and diet culture.
@@awesomegirls10 This was in a time without 60 percent overweight. Adipositas is not healthy. Diet culture wasn't needed in a time when people walk a lot more and eat less calories
Plus guys, you have to remember, a lot of these foods WERE really healthier anyway because they didn't have as many preservatives or GMOs in them, while now, pretty much everything does. Our food markets are a bit more commercialized, so even chicken isn't as healthy because they sometimes inject it with saline. Depends where you get it from I guess if we're talking about freshness and quality, but what I'm trying to say is, if you went to the store and got these same meals, it won't be *as* healthy. Ik that's not what y'all are discussing, but it seems worth mentioning that it still may not be "healthy" in today's world.
I really gotta stop listening to that swing music before bedtime.
Skylark lol they had their version of a smart phone
But without swing records at bedtime, how else are you going to get loads of pep?
Asha Swing music is a jam tbh
I listen to swing music when I work really late...I am lucky if I get 5 hrs of sleep a night haha
If you play those records backward, you'll may be able to hear some hip swinging, rock-and-roll devil's music.
Me and my sister watched this video expecting it to be rude or outdated but that’s not at all the case. It’s helpful and true advice that I plan to follow and I think everyone should.
Now you see the daily brain washing that goes through the heads of people.
that is fatphobic! You should strive to be unhealthy and overweight today
@@TibiaOTarena lol
Why would you expect it to be rude or "outdated"
IT is old, so how is it somehow not outdated?
This advice is for White women only, not everyone, fuck off.
Most feminists would find it offensive because (1) it assumes that women have to be pretty, (2) it assumes that women should know how to prepare food, (3) it only shows white people.
This is the type of wholesome we need in our schools now. As a recent graduate, I am extremely disappointed in my class and overall generation. It’s refreshing to watch videos like this.
I agree its nice to health and beauty not in standards but in everyday life.
Ok, eww.
don't worry, I'm pretty sure that our generation 1: agrees with this vid and want to apply those advice to themselves, and 2: are pretty disappointed in you too
A decline in morals and values over the decades has turned our society into the mess it is today.

Love how she emphasize good health as the foundation of beauty. Health is your greatest wealth
Linda The Necromancer of Light agreed 💓
People who have Chronic Illnesses and Disability can Also Look Good.
@@carriered4715 Yes, but I think she's talking about having a healthy lifestyle in general and not about people with chronic health issues or disabilities. Also, most of the advice in the video still applies to people with health issues. Everyone needs to eat healthy and get enough sleep, for instance.
Carrie Red I have Chronic insomnia for 20 years, chronic nerve pain for almost 10 and neuralgia for a year. I am what you would call a Spoonie. I learned that health is your greatest wealth. But I also learned that when you are young with chronic illness, people don’t even think your sick and it’s frustrating. I get a lot of... I thought sick people look bad. So I understand what you are saying. Not saying you can’t look your best with chronic illness but it helps to have your health
Yeah but no one actually cares
She’s spot on about not being tied up to physical beauty. Confidence and posture do great to perk up a young lady. Sound advice.
I can imagine a modern audience saying "...and what do you think about sideshave haircut with tatoos"?
In Japan you cannot go to thermal waters if you have tattoos.
@@josepablolunasanchez1283 I've donated blood at centers that bar their doors to anyone with fresh tats or piercings to prevent infection, but there's no danger I know of regarding body mods older than a year.

my maternal grandmother was born in 1926. during my pubescent years she taught me the importance of taking good care of yourself and how it affected your appearance, and the things mentioned in this video were the very things she would say to me at 13. to this day i still carry those words with me. miss her everyday!
Julia Anne Horn Aww that's lovely. My gran was too born in 1926. They were a special generation and one that we more than likely won't ever see again.

I love that writing letters and listening to swing music was their equivalent to texting and scrolling through TikTok 😆 the technology changed but it’s heartwarming to see the similarities in humankind, even if it’s our unhealthy habits 🥰
Writing letters is nothing like texting. 🙄 The time gap between replies means people didn't spend all their time doing it.
And listening to swing music is the same as listening to any music, nothing like watching brainwashed nutters on tik tok all day.
And you might be surprised to learn people still listen to music in 2023, including swing music.
So what was their equivalent of Facebook, twitter, Instagram and video gaming or online porn? See, everything IS DIFFERENT.
@@obscurum6well its been almost a century at this point so no shit we live in a different world. the characteristics of humanity though whether good or bad still exist even through the changed technologies and that is what the point of their comment was trying to relay. women still beat themselves up trying to fit into the beauty standard.

if the icing is good and cake is bad... you will eventually tire of eating the icing. this is really excellent and simple advice.
But women are not cakes nor icing :DD

@@Raisa-gb4fh but good looking can get tired after a while, goes for women and mem
I really like how this is more about being beautiful by treating yourself right because self-care is so important. A happy mind and body is what makes someone beautiful in my opinion. Not cosmetics, fashionable clothes, etc., but how you feel. Of course, if makeup and fashionable clothes can make you feel good great, but it's very important to feel good even without those embellishments. This applies to everyone regardless on personal beliefs, gender, whether you dress more masculine or feminine, etc..
No, this beauty standard applies to White women only, not everything is universal like you desperately wish.
Real. You could go out looking all cute but if you feel like shit once you take your makeup off, or even if you feel like shit while you're all dressed up, what's it all for?
I like how this is more about self-care and mental health than following beauty standards
Yas!! So cool
And the importance of exercise. This at a time when girls were generally told to stay home and stay inside.
Yeah, I missed this kind of info in school by about 15 years. I needed it.

@SAITAMA totally get that but the time period focused on beauty and they used that to promote self health in the time period

No
@@Raven-sx4ql For the current time, you're right.
But for their times this is highly acceptable. These are the times where girls/women have got no choice, which they'd be in streets if they weren't attractive to men.

Hihihi yisss
My first thought was this.
Ted talks are more educational. This is all about beauty and health
"sometimes i could shake you girls when you worry so much about being pretty or not being pretty as if it's a girls-only attraction" this also works in 2021
No, it wasn't an affirmation. She said the girl could be pretty if she did all these things that made her more attractive to men. The lady had already said she wasn't attractive because of her "round face" and "the way she wore her hair." We don't exist to live up to someone else's standards of beauty.
@@christineegan465 no she didn't... First of all she never once said "attractive to men". She never made it about men, she made it about the girl's own self esteem. I feel that it's more of a modern thing to equate beauty to how many men want to fk a girl.
It's the girl who said she had a round face, wears her hair wrong and doesn't look pretty. And the woman rebuked her for that, emphasizing that beauty isn't simply a pretty face. And actually, she way very much AGAINST the beauty standards when saying that what really matters is self care (healthy food, exercise, sleep, washing routine).
The girls who attented were there because they wanted to feel prettier and better about themselves. The woman used that energy and guided it into a healthy path. She didn't tell her lies, didn't give an unobtainable goal, didn't play down her insecurities but rather showed her her own beauty.
Its true that we do not have to live up to other's expectations. Its also true that if a girl seeks guidance she should get a good one. And, to be honest, we girls DO care a lot about how others perceive us.

i love how she talked about makeup and hair being like icing on a cake and saying how it’s nice and all, but if the cake isn’t good you loose interest! i feel as if that’s really true like it’s great if you do your makeup and hair nicely but if you are rude or disrespectful it doesn’t matter anymore if you did your hair and makeup because no one would want to be your friend.
If you're rude, no matter how physically attractive and fit you are, almost nobody will like you. So, make - up and such are truly just the icing on the cake.
I like you and I like that you like cats
That's not what she said. She's saying that if you eat unhealthy foods, don't get enough sleep and exercise, it won't matter how well your makeup and clothes look. Being healthy and clean should be the priority. I don't recall anything about rudeness.
delor b that is true that she never mentioned that stuff but i interpret it that way along with what you said. 🙂
@@delorbb2298 I agree w Cat Lover. She's talking about inner beauty. I don't care what a person looks like, if they are kind, warm, loving, have a great sense of humor, a great personality. It's character that matters far more than looks.
Pretty or handsome models are ugly when they are vapid and empty inside. Plain people are beautiful when they are beautiful inside.
And Trump is ugly b/c he is cruel and has no conscience, look how he's sending innocent Kurds to their death today, I've never seen such an atrocity in my life in America.
He was right when he said that he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and he wouldn't lose a voter. That was exactly how Hitler or any demagogue acts. Anyone who believes in him is deluded and is part of a blind cult.
This is still so relevant to this day. Sitting here and watching the beauty consultant was therapeutic. This is exactly what I need to hear.

I like the idea that you can do daily tasks like cleaning, dusting, walking up stairs but with proper form instead of slouching. I do a lot of housework and don't get the chance to leave the house so this genuinely seems helpful.
"If you feel good, you'll look good" essentially. I like it, honestly it's a good message. If you eat healthy, excercise, get plenty of sleep, and clean yourself properly it will improve your overall confidence, and confidence is one of the most attractive features any person can have.
It’s right. No one likes a dour miserable person.
Well i am girl, and i feel very very good, and i don't look good jajaja so, no.

*When you've learnt more about beauty and health in a video from the 1940s compared to your whole life*
I think this video is so sad. We DO worry too much about how we look. We have all been told (like in this video, approximately 70 years ago) that being beautiful is something that we should strive for. We think that being pretty makes us confident and feel good, and especially that it will make people like us more. In reality we get anxious about our looks and our confidence is shattered to peaces. We start to think that we are not pretty enough, like she says in the video: you can always be prettier. That is so sad. If we just abandoned the idea that being beautiful is important in any way, we would be so much happier. We would see that there is so much more to us and our personalities than the way we look.
@@noone3188 tell me when was the last time you fell in love with someone's personality at first sight. Lol! Just sayin'
@@TheMocao well you tell me can you really love someone based on their looks? Is it really a healthy relationship if it is based on falling in love at first sight? Your personality is much more important.
@@noone3188 Personality is indeed important, but I've never met a person yet that didn't LOOK at the person first - unless they were physically blind. Usually it's our attraction to a person that allows us to get to know that person's personality. That's all I'm saying. If looks are not important to you then that's great - but if they are important to someone else then that's fine too. It's called individuality.
@@noone3188
Perfectionism is an issue all on its own, it applies to everything. Why try to be highly academically achieving? You can always do better. You'll never get 100% will you? So don't bother at all eh? Applying your logic sounds preposterous.
Many people bother with looks because we're social animals. And it truly does give great confidence. To know that you aren't a stinky, rag wearing pathetic little thing, is good. Of course I'm not saying that the obsession with plastering on makeup, or fast fashion, or most things caused by social media are any good. But generally to be well kempt, proffessional when need be, beautiful or handsome when need be, and so on, is incredibly important to healthy self image and social standing, relationships with others be try romantic, work, friendly etc.
As for physical appearance for intimate relationships. Without sexual attraction it doesn't quite work does it? Sexual attraction is really about the body and its presentation. The other side of intimate attraction, to a person, also requires physical appearance to be well kept not because society culture mumbo jumbo. But because we naturally seek out those that have it together. If one looks shabby, unkempt etc, they obviously don't have it together. Physical appearances aren't just some useless social construct, they can tell you about a person. What I'm saying is the physical is an extension of the psychological. You're evidently utterly in love with the idea of personality, well the way someone looks tells you a lot about them
I love how well she explained it. You cant just go straight into products like makeup or hair styling, you should also take care of yourself. Giving yourself love is so important. I really like how much she values self care
My grandmother was raised with these beauty tips and she recently passed at 91. Still naturally lovely and vital until her last days.
Rest in peace Michele’s grandma ❤️
Sending love and prayers to you. Natural beauty is the best 💛💛
My gran was 21 in 1940. She was so lively and kind. A natural beauty. God rest her soul. I miss her so much.
My beloved mother, who has passed away, would never go for the idea of mascara! I tried to apply it to her eyes more than once, and she wouldn't have it, not a bit. She even diluted her foundation with water! In the end, my mother was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen - soft, natural, and simply "beauty" personified. ❤💗❤

What a beautiful, loving tribute to your dear Mother💙
Weirdly enough the advice here isn't bad or out of date, it is extremely topical even today, she encourage everyone to exercise, take care of yourself have proper daily baths, have proper sleep, spend time outdoor and eat healthy, rather than worrying about your face or hair, or about the fact that you are pretty enough or not
And what weird? Simple advices. What do you expect? People don't change as much.
@@temin2776 it is health advice from the 1940s mate, a time when people believed that drinking and smoking was perfectly healthy, even when you are pregnant, a time when lobotomy were performed to heal mental illness, in general 1940s isn't the best historic benchmark to get health advice from, but advice from this video is something we need to taught even today, especially in an Instagram driven world run by Asthestics rather taking care of your health.
@@abhinavtyagi2817 a lot of the things like smoking is good was actually advertisement, lobbying, and institutional corruption rather than scientists actually believing those things. That same corruption still exists today and people will look back just like you are, shocked that we used opioids and ate certain foods.
Its the innocent, well mannered and wholesome way the advice is given that makes this special. A lot of people today dont have those abilities anymore, or simply dont care how they talk to others.

We forgive you.
notice how she isn't being toxic lol,, nowadays it's wearing makeup to cover up your imperfections and destroy your body by not eating and exercising but this video shows that natural beauty is just as amazing.
Well not really nowadays is ten times better than the 40’s sorta
@@btsprettypleasekidnapme1291 Yeah, pushing women to be skinny with hyper devopped musculature. Back then being healthy just meant looking well fed and toned
Yes but in the last transformation the girl looked prettier because of her grooming from the outside, notice the clothes change, hairstyle, posture etc.
Not to mention photoshopping out any flaws
Nope not at all it was more toxic back then but go off ig
"as though prettiness were a woman's only attraction" ✨✨✨
I doubt that is worth a lot.
The whole video is her trying to get girls to conform to the beauty standards of the time in order for them to be “pretty” so i dont think that one statement is worth much
@@psychoPilgrim36 maybe it's because we viewed it differently. For me, I think this statement meant that a girl has many more beautiful qualities than just being pretty and that it's ok even if she doesn't consider herself pretty because she still has other qualities that can be considered beautiful and attractive.
Maybe I didn't analyze the whole video that well or maybe it's because I only scratched through the surface. But anyway, this was actually a positive view on my side. Maybe it's not for you but that's alright. Everyone can't always agree on everything.
@@angel31356 that sentence alone is good but the videos existence kinda contradicts it. If women are more than just their looks then why is this video and the videos attached to it all about trying to be what society said was “pretty”. If they really believed that women were more than their looks then why didnt they just let women look how they want to look instead of telling them?
@@psychoPilgrim36 it's still pretty much the beauty standard now
This actually is timeless sound advice.

I’ve been struggling with depression since June of this year and I’ve completely neglected myself. I’ve gained 50lbs, I stopped grooming well, I stopped wearing my pretty clothes, and I stopped wearing makeup completely which were things that helped me feel confident and beautiful. This video was a reminder that self-love is very important and it motivated me to start taking better care of myself.
I'm rooting for you!! Try yoga with Adrienne free on you tube ❤️ it changed my life
Same Girl. I gained 40 pounds since covid and my clothes don't fit anymore including my bras. It's so depressing, I have to prioritize really caring for myself.
I had the opposite problem of losing weight during Covid, and that's no good either. I had no working refrigerator for 3 mos.(thanks, American Home Shield), and had to have all my upper teeth removed, entirely due to a case of horrible malpractice on the part of a sociopathic dentist. My clothes don't fit, either, and I look awful. I moved to a really stupid state, and everyone assumes I'm on meth, and the whole place is weird, racially segregated and much chillier in the way of friendliness among neighbors.
I miss so much my old home, and there were vending machines in my building and a familiar pizza place. I hadn't realized how much I had depended on these. I don't like even going to stores around here, but going back isn't an option now.
I WISH I had gained my weight back and was still chubby so much more than becoming malnourished (and emaciated at one point, which was only sad and scary). For one thing, some of my clothes would still fit. I started getting strange symptoms because my health had been badly compromised. This is just as bad, just in a different way.
Can we trade?
@@erinthesystem9608 I'm so sorry you're going through all this, that sounds awful. It's my opinion that I'd rather be overweight than underweight so I'm very sorry for what's happening to you and I hope that you can find a way to restore your health. 💗

I actually really like this video. She understands that everyone wants to look good, and gives actual advice. Nowadays, if you tell someone you have appearance issues, they'll tell you "appearance isn't everything" or something along those lines. While that is true, saying isn't going to stop me from being insecure. I love how she had both those aspects here. I wish we could take the good things from the past, we really need them sometimes.
We can take good things from the past if we remember them, practice them, and teach them!
You explained what I thought really well!
They'll call you "anything phobic" for sure
my thoughts as well! this was a lovely video and i really liked how the woman explained everything ☺.
i think it depends on the person. but body neutrality does work if you do it properly. and based on this comment you were not doing it properly. do not criticise things you know nothing about.
We need more people like her today to free us from the curse of having to be in certain molds of beauty.
