She would have so many subscribers if she started a ASMR channel 😘😀😻. If you dont know what ASMR is than look it up or watch some videos, you might end up liking it.
The Victorian part reminded me of something my mother in law told me she used to do. My mother-in-law was born 1926, so her parents were literally ‘Victorian ‘. As a teen, she was never permitted to wear makeup, so when she went out to the dance halls, she would take her prayer book with her. In the ladies room she would wet the RED leather cover of the book and rub the stain from it from her fingers, onto her lips!! 💋. I love the irony... prayer book = lipstick 💄!
I was a teen in the 80s/early 90s. Heavy, crazy makeup (as she wore here). But i was allowed only mascara and lip gloss until I was a sophomore. By then, I was so use to my minimalist look, I didn't part with it. And I still wear very little makeup today. Even when I do vintage fashion, I wear the minimal amount necessary to achieve my look ;)
I'm a guy but I'm fascinated with makeup and the history of makeup in women's fashion. I know men also used makeup throughout history, but sadly it's never been as widely accepted as with women. You gals get to look back on so many trends!
You should feel lucky, in a way. Men aren't under the pressure to look certain way and hide their flaws, get told you need make up because otherwise you're ugly. Make up where it can be and is a form of art and fascinating, it's incredibly oppressive and harmful to women and little girls, just know that. If you want to wear make up, then that's up to you. There's plenty of men in media who do use make up, though just touch ups rather than a lot of colors, but still. You need to change it if you'd like.
LadyDynamitez Yeah I understand it's both a good and bad thing. It's the same way for guys but in the opposite direction: Man without makeup = manly, accepted, attractive. Man _with_ makeup = unmanly, wrong, shameful, etc. Society and gender norms have ruined everyone's self esteem one way or another and I wish I could change it.
Yeah i agree with good lighting. Theres also an artful trained eye so that she does everything else to compliment and even the brow is calculated in way not to clash with her features. And as far as genetics yes a very symmetrical face. Thats my take ☺👍

I have little interest in makeup, so listening to someone talking about it is usually boring to me. But your style, your vocabulary, your accent, You in general are so impressive and vibrant I have just watched this video four times in a row. Thank you for the experience :)
+Christelle Kapri Agreed! I would 100% trust the effectiveness of products with her name on them, and also that they would be good and healthy for my skin.
I’m Brazilian and learn the little I know of English language by my self. I want to thank you to be so sweet and speak in a acceptable speed, enough for me understand almost 100% of the content in this video. Congratulations 😍 i love it (and I have to tell how much I love British accent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻)
Hello! You can change the video speed on TH-cam! To make it slower. Have a nice day! Google Translate para Português: Olá! Você pode alterar a velocidade do vídeo no TH-cam! Para tornar mais lento. Tenha um bom dia!
+Emma Wang Its because she is an actual MUA and not just someone that started on IG or youtube.. nothing wrong with those people but you can def tell the difference.
On seeing the release of your book I assumed it was another make up manual of sorts. After watching this fantastic video and finding out it includes such a detailed history of make up I am ordering it today and can't wait to read it! X
+BansheeVanRaven I googled it and found the New York Times produced an article on 2001/05/13 called Mirror Mirror. This described the Greek unibrow also :-)
+BansheeVanRaven Also mentioned on worldexpogreece website under Beauty in Ancient Greece. I could go on but I have a fantastic new book to read. Lisa Eldridge your book is truly beautiful xx
This was so stunning and so incredibly well-done! Bravo!! Since it's near Halloween maybe do a few of these historical looks as a tutorial on your channel? I'm completely in love with the Grecian and French look :)
L'Aurora Borealis that's so sweet of you to say!! I've never made a video before but I've always wanted to. Thanks for the motivation and your kind words :)
The amount of effort and information you put into this video is beyond me. Every video of yours reminds me why I subscribed in the first place. You're a true makeup artist
Fun Fact: In 14th/15th century Europe, an extremely popular trend for women was to pluck or shave the hairline back almost to the top of the head. Why? Beauty standards be crazy. Also, I think it would be fair to say that the medieval link between makeup and deception exists to this day. As someone else in the comments said, no makeup = "Are you sick? You look terrible!" But light makeup = "no makeup," and heavy makeup = "Ugh, I don't like girls who wear too much makeup!" Dudes, you gotta make up (haha) your damn minds. (Or stop judging women on their appearance.)
I honestly thought that this was going to make fun of certain makeup in a bad way (like decora or shionuri makeup) but it was just fun and educating, and even ended that we could wear makeup however we want! I love this video!
Lisa, is there any way you could show a tutorial on achieving the modern "Gothic" look? I'm always using this look myself, and I didn't know if maybe you had some tips on working with pale or white foundation and slightly cooler contours with this type of base, yet still getting that flawless, non-cartoony sort of effect? It would be much appreciated!
+Sister Lucifer that would be super interesting! I don't wear that type of makeup but I certainly think I could learn from it - even if not it'd be cool to watch :)
This is one of the most amazing videos on youtube I ever saw!!! Fantastic! You are so talented and beautiful. That video must have been work and fun to make. Amazing makeup and amazing costumes! I can't wait to hold your book in my hands. Unfortunately there is a delay in the delivery, but now I am even more excited.
+cutestephie1313 Thank you ! Yes... the book is already sold out on Amazon here but more copies are being printed as we speak! I hope you dont have to wait too long X
+Lisa Eldridge Can you do 20th & 21st century please. I think it would be interesting to see how you would interpret makeup form 70's etc. And I think it would be fascinating if you illustrated some of the trends up to know, since you're makeup artist you would know what clients ask for. I think the 2000's was light and now it's full on...sort of in between atm with soft glam. I love you're video and this has to be the best yet!!! You deserve all the praise :)
Of course there were gender roles, this is ancient Egypt we are talking about. Even Cleopatra had to wear the traditional ceremonial fake beard when acting as Pharaoh, symbolically taking on the role of a man.
simply wow! im thinking of doing my dissertation for third year at university on how makeup was portrayed throughout history. I havent got the details figured out yet but if anyone can give me some little tips its all welcome. Great video, very inspirational.
+Mya Gansukh that sounds like such an interesting subject for a dissertation. DO IT! I'm sure that makeup just like all things having to do with appearance is so related to socioeconomic class and gender issues.
It explains some of the inspiration for the Queen of hearts. Mix the 16th century style with the red Queen’s violence and you get Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts. ♥️♥️
So interesting! I can't imagine what it must have been like to live in those eras, to be in the rich, upper-class, attending parties in France, how exciting!
+Fresh_Water from what I've read the French aristocracy's parties would have lost their allure pretty quickly. You had to wear clothes so lavish you actually bankrupted yourself to pay for them, and when you went to court you HAD to attend things whether you felt OK or not, and you had to stand up all night unless the King liked you enough to let you sit down. So you'd be standing up all night in clothes that weighed more than you did, in heels, on a stone floor, in a draught, desperately wishing the King would go to bed so you could, too. Plus I've been to Versailles and the kitchens were a long way from the rest of the palace, so if you were at one of the King's soirees and you wanted some food, by the time it got to you it would be cold. And apparently women of the court would sometimes put a chamber pot under their skirts so they could pee standing up in the room because you literally could not leave without permission. No fun!
+theoriginalsuzycat That chamber pot thing certainly shatters any remaining allusions we may have had. I like indoor plumbing too much to go back in time.
I love how you just pull off every look without any effort! The wigs look beautiful on you, and my favourite make up look was the one about the Vamps! Absolutely stunning
I didn't want this to end!! For a makeup lover, this was a real treat, and such a thrill! LOVED seeing all the styles of makeup and the stories behind them. This may be one of my favourite videos from you, Lisa! Honestly, you spoil us! :)
History is fun, it’s just that the curriculum for it is dog shite. They don’t even teach history GCSE any further back than the 1940’s to 90’s anymore. And people have their own stupid misconceptions of history as being straight laced and vapid.
+Lisa Eldridge I want to see a tutorial for the 1920's silent movie look!! I'm obsessed with that era and I've seen so many tutorials on 20's makeup but none of them look as authentic as what you did here!
Actually Venice at that time probably was one of the sources for Effie. Over the top crazy theatrical fashion was de riguer at that time. Also, out of control, over extravagant, and at times highly amoral upper class hierarchy.
Love this! And this may sound strange, but I love the way you talk, could listen to you for hours! In fact, sometimes when I can't sleep, I turn on some of your videos and the sound of your voice gently puts me to sleep, it's like a lullaby, so soothing and relaxing! :)
+little55pig I too listen to Lisa when I can't sleep, not only do her videos create a relaxing energy, but my makeup skills improve every time I wake up! It's like studying for a test right before you go to sleep:-) Love this video Lisa, I cannot wait to read your book:-):-)
This film is bloody incredible!!! I love all the make up looks. So authentic! The amount of effort you put into this film is mind blowing! You've really out done yourself Lisa, I'm blown away!
People are so used to seeing women slap their faces with multiple layers of foundation.many look tired or different without it. So they notice when you don't wear makeup if you wear it often
Micky Mus I only wear little bit so a lot of times people ask "are you really wearing makeup?" So that way when I don't wear makeup there's not much difference.
This was so much fun to watch! I could sit here and watch a video like that for hours. You should more of these, but for different cultures, or wedding makeup looks for different decades, or even makeup looks for different public figures throughout the centuries!
I love that you through an Edie Sedgwick look in there! Very informative and fun! Historical makeup is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. It's so interesting
+Angel Morton Ha thanks, I did laugh every time i caught sight of myself in the mirror with that look but it certainly was fun to apply. Hope you enjoy the book! X
This video looked like it would have been a lot of fun to create. I Iove how historically accurate all these looks were, thanks for another great video :)
I LOVED this video. I graduated from grade school in 1967, a very exciting time to be introduced to the world of cosmetics. Yardley of London was the best brand available in the US. Thank you so much. Blessings....MaryEllen
Lisa, you are a true artist. So many 'beauty' YT gurus are just gals who like to wear piles of makeup, but you really do use makeup in an artful,intelligent,creative manner. You must be one of the most well educated, talented make-up artists I've ever seen. If I ever made a period film, you'd be the artist I'd go to for the makeup. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Amazing video Lisa! One of my favourite on TH-cam. You have encapsulated what I love in makeup the most - the change, metamorphosis, transformation. Please make some videos showing how you have recreated the looks - I love how overdrawn (according to the modern standards) some of them appear to be.
***** hmm yeah that's actually a real concern HalseyPlease do you know how lisa might be able to draw the line between respectfully showcasing asian makeup and disrespectfully doing it?
+eizisqueezy You're the reason Donald Trump will be president of the United States. People are sick of this PC horse shit and bending over backwards to not offend the criminals, rapists, and terrorists.
She actually mentions the history of makeup from all over the world (some really interesting bits about makeup in China, specifically) in her book Face Paint - The Story of Makeup, you should definitely give it a read, it's very interesting and informative/educational :)
Oh and Lajia there are actually two brothers on TH-cam called double Chen that make a bunch of videos on Chinese history. There's one specifically about makeup through the dynasties, you should check it out.
I think maybe people will be offended if she wears Asian history, like yea she could get a model, but she said it was just for fun so ringing up a model to and stuff like might be too much, but her book talks about a makeup from ALL over the world.
Chelsea Keniston well I guess history of makeup is a too large topic to cover in just one short video, she probably had to focus on some direction. Chinese makeup is definitely not the only one missing (what about sub-saharan african makeup?), but it's ok and the video is still great and informative.
Lisa, this video was absolutely incredible! Dare I say, it's one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. It was the perfect balance of fun, education, and inspiring. All the looks you created were done beautifully and as someone who loves learning, I really loved how educational this video was. I just ordered your book about an hour ago and I cannot wait to have it in my hands. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into everything that you do.
This was just fascinating for me! I love listening to you speak and you sound so knowledgeable!! So cool to actually hear the background on makeup too! P.S. I'm very jealous of your wings towards the end of the video! 😜
This is the second time I watched this and I don’t know why but it made me cry. I have tears streaming down my face. I think I’m just touched by your passion and how well this video tapped into the female experience of makeup. The decision to apply makeup is such a personal one and when you spend that time with yourself it becomes sacred. Thank you for showing the world how valuable and meaningful makeup is. ❤️
excellent video, but i noticed that it focused solely on the history of makeup in the west. it's probably not your niche since you yourself are not of asian descent, but i would love to see a "history of makeup" for looks originating from the east! or is there one already that i should check out? :) love your videos as always
+Simone Yu Thats all in the book - this is just a very short teaser video of the book. I didnt do any of that history in this video - because its just my face (as you can see!). Im sure you s=will love reading about Asia in my book X
+Jess Taylor "unibrows are hard to pull off and I think your skin looked really good at the same time! This video was so interesting, thank you for making it!" Was that wording careful enough for you, Jesus.
Amazing! So detailed and lovely. Must have taken so much time and effort, loved this. Would love to see your interpretations and history of East Asian and South Asian looks! Would be so so interesting!
Interesting, but with due respect, somewhat ruined by the wash-out lighting CGI-style lighting that virtually eliminates any lines, wrinkles or "flaws" on your face. Would be nice if you did a truly naturally lit video with no tricks.
+DDumbrille Its supposed to be a fun, educational video. I doubt she was thinking of "hiding her wrinkles". Is that really all you took away from the video?
Amanda Tooke No certainly not -- it was very educational. But overall, I think the lighting tricks, etc., that I mentioned, sends a subtle message (i.e. her skin is so flawless!) that some might think they can never live up to, because they don't realize the tricks that are involved.
+DDumbrille I never had that thought cross my mind while watching this video...? I mean I wished I could see some of the Egyptian and Flapper Era makeup more closely in detail, but I didn't think "damn, I can't see her usual wrinkles and imperfections with all these effects - she must have perfect skin!" besides when she shows her no makeup face, her imperfections are clearly visible o_o
I really loved this video! I watched your previous video the other day and decided I HAD to get your book. You really sold it to me. And guess what... IT JUST ARRIVED!!! I'm going to spend a good chunk of this afternoon looking through it! Thank you so much for providing such good information. I really value everything you put out!!
This is fantastic!! I’m the Head Instructor at the Southwest Makeup Institute in Albuquerque NM and I’m going to show this to my class during Decades week!!! They’ll love it and it’ll inspire so many looks! Thank you🙏🏼
This video is just a short trailer of whats in my book 'Face Paint', there is actually a lot of Asian history in the book ....and yes I agree, it is super interesting! X
I loved this so much, going through time to see all the different looks and how the definition of beauty changes with each passing of the decade is fascinating to watch.
She's jaw-droppingly gorgeous with the French overload look
In my opinion,she even rocked the uni/mono brow
I was like, "Really? How the hell did she manage to make a unibrow look that great?"
Meanwhile if I let my unibrow grow in I just look gross lmao.
@Ry V
VERY Frida Kahlo
Fucking same
😊 i agree... very, very pretty...
Her voice is so relaxing..Like.. she could read me a horror novel and I wouldn't be terrified.
glad I'm not the only one

So your mother in law is 93 then, wow, obviously the red dyes didn’t do her health too much harm then! I wish her well living to such a good age!
Fun fact about the Greek uni-brow trend! It was so popular they even used false eyebrows made from animal hairs.
In the 18th century, they would use mouse fur!
Sarah Algelius lol I would’ve been so liked back then now I have to get my eyebrows done to be acceptable 😂😂
A time when I would've been accepted gladly! But nowdays I of course have to have perfect eyebrows to be remotely acceptable :/
Sarah Algelius ew
Sarah Algelius not really:) as a Greek woman I don’t agree :)
My dad teaches a European History class at an American high school and he shows this to his class every year!
: ) X
Ap Euro?
No, but Greece and Rome certainly spent a lot of time colonizing and conquering Egypt. That makes it included in European history.
You have separated (American and European) History classes?
@@ducklingscap897 Yes at least in ny we have global history and us history
The effort it took to film this video deserves 2 thumbs up
This never gets old. My daughter even asks to see the video with the lady with really pink cheeks! She loves it!

I love that look the most as well
Aww that’s adorable

that's what my eyes always look like when I try to do smoky eyes, lol
So much better than the Buzzfeed videos of the same nature! So educational and awesome. Thanks Lisa!
I was thinking that! I love the buzzfeed videos like this but this was so much more professional and informative! Loved it
I love how she dresses up for the makeup she put on! its awesome!
the mole on the left cheek just completes all the looks
Ikr!

So happy to hear you like it so much! Thanks for watching X
How can you pull off any look??? :O even those big eyebrows looked good on you! What is this magic? :D
I think it helps she's super confident no matter how she looks
Klara Rotenmayer really good lighting makes a huge difference
Genetics. Genetics are magic in a way.
Klara Rotenmayer she's also a makeup expert. I'm sure she practices on a daily basis
Yeah i agree with good lighting. Theres also an artful trained eye so that she does everything else to compliment and even the brow is calculated in way not to clash with her features.

+Funky's Mama happy you found it! X
This video （and the rest） distinguishes Lisa from any other makeup gurus……
I think the difference with Lisa is she's very mature and knowledgable and genuinely interested and passionate about makeup. X
+grissopia agree，you can feel that passion through every delicate tutoriol. It's always a pleasure to see that people do research for genuine love
+Emma Wang Its because she is an actual MUA and not just someone that started on IG or youtube.. nothing wrong with those people but you can def tell the difference.
+Emma Wang she-s the only one who actually knows what she-s talking about!. her dedication and commitment to her profession is admirable!
Because she's an actual makeup artist with clients, not someone who sits in their room all day taking selfies and using 10 different filters
Lisa's such a queen. After following so many beauty 'gurus' and have the same fall makeup tutorials come one after another, this is sooooo refreshing.
5:54 you did ALL THAT just to say "from decade to decade".. haha that is so amazing! beautiful video!!!
On seeing the release of your book I assumed it was another make up manual of sorts. After watching this fantastic video and finding out it includes such a detailed history of make up I am ordering it today and can't wait to read it! X

I’ve heard the hairline thing has to do with copying Queen Elizabeth I, because she had such a high forehead and she was a standard for beauty.
I agree. Maybe not to the same degree as back then, but the link between makeup and deception does still exist.
They would shave the hairline because, bigger(longer) the forhead the smarter(wiser) women is.
I honestly thought that this was going to make fun of certain makeup in a bad way (like decora or shionuri makeup) but it was just fun and educating, and even ended that we could wear makeup however we want! I love this video!

Egyptian was the best. No genderroles, experimenting and being different. :3
Lazy Lauren No genderroles? Cleopatra wasn't allowed to rule because she was a woman.
Die wahre WeinerGmbh but she still ruled
Khadiza Ahmed Queen Elisabeth the first ruled too.
And it was easier for here to become a ruler by the way.
Die wahre WeinerGmbh besides this was the foreign ruled later times. she was greek. and we know how greeks viewed women
Of course there were gender roles, this is ancient Egypt we are talking about. Even Cleopatra had to wear the traditional ceremonial fake beard when acting as Pharaoh, symbolically taking on the role of a man.
Your passion for makeup is astounding ansd inspiring. Very informative and educational! Well done Lisa 💋

+Mya Gansukh You will find a lot of info from all periods in my book - will hopefully help!Good luck x
+Lisa Eldridge Lisa, please do a series of tutorials covering these looks. It was AMAZING! Thank you!!!!!!
+Lisa Eldridge Do you have a reference section at the back of the book?x
+Adriana Kohkemper Agreed! Would look really interesting in costume parties especially the soot eyes/silent movies
+Mya Gansukh that sounds like such an interesting subject for a dissertation. DO IT! I'm sure that makeup just like all things having to do with appearance is so related to socioeconomic class and gender issues.
us it just me or from a certain area does she look a lot like Natalie Portman??
is
the lips I guess
I think its the Beauty Mark... Lol its like its in the same exact spot
+Chesie 3636 yeah!!
She's look like a mix between natalie portman and kate winslet
i love how you're giving us so many information about makeup standards in the past. it's very interesting to learn about these things
The Venetian look looks like the queen of hearts from Alice in Wonderland. Great vid btw
yes..
It explains some of the inspiration for the Queen of hearts. Mix the 16th century style with the red Queen’s violence and you get Alice in Wonderland’s Queen of Hearts. ♥️♥️
So interesting! I can't imagine what it must have been like to live in those eras, to be in the rich, upper-class, attending parties in France, how exciting!
+Fresh_Water If you didn't die of mercury poisoning. Or Syphilis. Or childbirth.
+BooRadleyTube Barring those unfortunate things, the whole experience would be something entirely different
+Fresh_Water Parties YES. The not showering and lice thing though, NO WAY.
+Fresh_Water from what I've read the French aristocracy's parties would have lost their allure pretty quickly. You had to wear clothes so lavish you actually bankrupted yourself to pay for them, and when you went to court you HAD to attend things whether you felt OK or not, and you had to stand up all night unless the King liked you enough to let you sit down. So you'd be standing up all night in clothes that weighed more than you did, in heels, on a stone floor, in a draught, desperately wishing the King would go to bed so you could, too. Plus I've been to Versailles and the kitchens were a long way from the rest of the palace, so if you were at one of the King's soirees and you wanted some food, by the time it got to you it would be cold. And apparently women of the court would sometimes put a chamber pot under their skirts so they could pee standing up in the room because you literally could not leave without permission. No fun!
+theoriginalsuzycat That chamber pot thing certainly shatters any remaining allusions we may have had. I like indoor plumbing too much to go back in time.
For some reason I think you looked really pretty with the unibrow ahaha
I agree!
Me too!
I love how you just pull off every look without any effort! The wigs look beautiful on you, and my favourite make up look was the one about the Vamps!
Absolutely stunning
I didn't want this to end!! For a makeup lover, this was a real treat, and such a thrill! LOVED seeing all the styles of makeup and the stories behind them. This may be one of my favourite videos from you, Lisa! Honestly, you spoil us! :)
Love this! How much effort it would have taken!
I agree. She is amazing
If history was like that... i would study
My favourite comment of all.
It should be like that. Your teachers must’ve been bad.
You’d probably like Art History.
Fashion History is a whole genre! If you're lucky, your school might have a class!
History is fun, it’s just that the curriculum for it is dog shite. They don’t even teach history GCSE any further back than the 1940’s to 90’s anymore. And people have their own stupid misconceptions of history as being straight laced and vapid.
Coming back to this video, I think this started my obsession with historical fashion, makeup, and hair. Thank you Lisa.
I thought this was just gonna be another one of those "make up through the decades" videos or something but this was so much more interesting!!!
I love the French Polish look. It was gorgeous, I have no idea why I like it so much. I have always loved that type of style with the hair and makeup.
oh My God, this video is so good I can't even...
PLEASE do a separate tutorial for each??
+Rivili Im working my way through them... slowly, have done about 4-5 so far (many left to do haha! ) X
+Lisa Eldridge I want to see a tutorial for the 1920's silent movie look!! I'm obsessed with that era and I've seen so many tutorials on 20's makeup but none of them look as authentic as what you did here!
+Lisa Eldridge Buying your book. Absolutely fascinating stuff. Thanks for taking a historical tack on the book.
+Lisa Eldridge I don't know what makes me happier, that more awesome videos are coming, or that Lisa replied my comment #ontopoftheworld
The Venise one kinda look like Effie in Hunger Games
Actually Venice at that time probably was one of the sources for Effie. Over the top crazy theatrical fashion was de riguer at that time. Also, out of control, over extravagant, and at times highly amoral upper class hierarchy.
Tina Flowers YES ! I WAS THINKING ABOUT IT
JadeYueRyu1 de rigueur * 🙂
Love this! And this may sound strange, but I love the way you talk, could listen to you for hours! In fact, sometimes when I can't sleep, I turn on some of your videos and the sound of your voice gently puts me to sleep, it's like a lullaby, so soothing and relaxing! :)
I do the exact same thing! I watch her videos when I'm having a panic attack as well and they help calm me down!
+little55pig Haha me too - I especially find myself going back to her extra calm, chatty videos, like the one about post-breakup makeup
+little55pig Try googling "ASMR"... It might help you. :-)
Lol when I couldn't sleep I watch her video it helps me fall asleep
+little55pig I too listen to Lisa when I can't sleep, not only do her videos create a relaxing energy, but my makeup skills improve every time I wake up! It's like studying for a test right before you go to sleep:-) Love this video Lisa, I cannot wait to read your book:-):-)
This film is bloody incredible!!! I love all the make up looks. So authentic! The amount of effort you put into this film is mind blowing! You've really out done yourself Lisa, I'm blown away!
Best video I've seen in a long while really love & the most interesting is the venetian era really informative
Agree, Lisa totally rocks the Venetian look!
Somehow it reminded me of Effie Trinket from the hunger games! Haha I love her
+dina chabuk Thanks so much, thrilled you like it X
i thought the flappers, vamps and silent movies queens makeup looked so fucking cool
Flappers and silent movies are the best. Love this period.
Not to be a party pooper, but average ladies in the 1920s were not wearing makeup like that. It wasn't accepted as the norm.
2:27 Hunger Games Effie Trinket
ZombieMommy more like the Red Queen.. haha
ZombieMommy XD
ZombieMommy omg yas it's so like when she was at the reaping in district 12
Lol .. that was my thought exactly
ZombieMommy ee
Classic
Woman wearing no makeup, no foundation.
Man: You look tired, are you sick?
People are so used to seeing women slap their faces with multiple layers of foundation.many look tired or different without it. So they notice when you don't wear makeup if you wear it often
You said it, Sam!
+Lo Lo so true
Woman: wearing makeup
Man: your wearing too much makeup! I like you better naturally
Micky Mus I only wear little bit so a lot of times people ask "are you really wearing makeup?" So that way when I don't wear makeup there's not much difference.
Great video. I used to use red smarties as a lipstick when I was younger.
Makeup and history; two of my favorites. I love this.
I can't believe you did this, I feel soooo special that you do all this work for us! You are amazing and my role model!!
Loved hearing you talk about history of makeup on Sunday Brunch this morning. Great start to my day! Very interesting xx
+shmeepea Thanks! Glad you managed to catch it X
This was so much fun to watch! I could sit here and watch a video like that for hours. You should more of these, but for different cultures, or wedding makeup looks for different decades, or even makeup looks for different public figures throughout the centuries!
I love that you through an Edie Sedgwick look in there! Very informative and fun! Historical makeup is something I've been thinking about a lot lately. It's so interesting
The 80s really suited you, Lisa! This video is amazing. I'm putting your book on my wish list!
+Angel Morton Ha thanks, I did laugh every time i caught sight of myself in the mirror with that look but it certainly was fun to apply. Hope you enjoy the book! X
This video looked like it would have been a lot of fun to create. I Iove how historically accurate all these looks were, thanks for another great video :)
I LOVED this video. I graduated from grade school in 1967, a very exciting time to be introduced to the world of cosmetics. Yardley of London was the best brand available in the US. Thank you so much. Blessings....MaryEllen
+MaryEllen After 60 I love the 1960's Yardley makeup, especially the Twiggy collection which was made only for the US market. Great stuff X
It was such an exciting time. You Brit's had it all over us from the States!!!
Lisa, you are a true artist. So many 'beauty' YT gurus are just gals who like to wear piles of makeup, but you really do use makeup in an artful,intelligent,creative manner. You must be one of the most well educated, talented make-up artists I've ever seen. If I ever made a period film, you'd be the artist I'd go to for the makeup. Thank you for sharing your gift with us.
Amazing video Lisa! One of my favourite on TH-cam. You have encapsulated what I love in makeup the most - the change, metamorphosis, transformation. Please make some videos showing how you have recreated the looks - I love how overdrawn (according to the modern standards) some of them appear to be.
I also love how you not only told us of the makeup trends, but explained their socio-cultural roots.
I really loved the video but it was definitely eurocentric... Would've loved to see makeup from Japan, China, India etc...
+Mudassar Ahmad She covers Asia in her book and women like Anna May Wong and Meena Kumari
+Elizabeth Hess not if she did it respectfully
***** hmm yeah that's actually a real concern HalseyPlease do you know how lisa might be able to draw the line between respectfully showcasing asian makeup and disrespectfully doing it?
+eizisqueezy You're the reason Donald Trump will be president of the United States. People are sick of this PC horse shit and bending over backwards to not offend the criminals, rapists, and terrorists.
+eizisqueezy That would be way too complicated
Very good examples of the history of makeup. You were wonderful in your portrait s of the centuries ideas concerning beauty.
What about China? They've been wearing makeup since 3,000 BC
She actually mentions the history of makeup from all over the world (some really interesting bits about makeup in China, specifically) in her book Face Paint - The Story of Makeup, you should definitely give it a read, it's very interesting and informative/educational :)
Ooh thank you for the recommendation! I will definitely check out her book.
Oh and Lajia there are actually two brothers on TH-cam called double Chen that make a bunch of videos on Chinese history. There's one specifically about makeup through the dynasties, you should check it out.
I think maybe people will be offended if she wears Asian history, like yea she could get a model, but she said it was just for fun so ringing up a model to and stuff like might be too much, but her book talks about a makeup from ALL over the world.
Chelsea Keniston well I guess history of makeup is a too large topic to cover in just one short video, she probably had to focus on some direction. Chinese makeup is definitely not the only one missing (what about sub-saharan african makeup?), but it's ok and the video is still great and informative.
Lisa, this video was absolutely incredible! Dare I say, it's one of the best videos I've ever seen on TH-cam. It was the perfect balance of fun, education, and inspiring. All the looks you created were done beautifully and as someone who loves learning, I really loved how educational this video was. I just ordered your book about an hour ago and I cannot wait to have it in my hands. Thank you so much for putting so much effort into everything that you do.
This was just fascinating for me! I love listening to you speak and you sound so knowledgeable!! So cool to actually hear the background on makeup too! P.S. I'm very jealous of your wings towards the end of the video! 😜
Thank you, so happy you loved the video X
This is the second time I watched this and I don’t know why but it made me cry. I have tears streaming down my face. I think I’m just touched by your passion and how well this video tapped into the female experience of makeup. The decision to apply makeup is such a personal one and when you spend that time with yourself it becomes sacred. Thank you for showing the world how valuable and meaningful makeup is. ❤️
As a writer and a history major in college I quite adore this. I'm also into makeup art and effects, so its pretty amazing to see this.
I don't wear makeup but I love watching tutorials and vids like this which show it's history.
I really love the format. The content, also, but the production quality is A+.
Brilliant Lisa!!! I’m a historian and make up enthusiast. This was such fun to watch.
excellent video, but i noticed that it focused solely on the history of makeup in the west. it's probably not your niche since you yourself are not of asian descent, but i would love to see a "history of makeup" for looks originating from the east! or is there one already that i should check out? :) love your videos as always
+Simone Yu Thats all in the book - this is just a very short teaser video of the book. I didnt do any of that history in this video - because its just my face (as you can see!). Im sure you s=will love reading about Asia in my book X
Cut Video has a bunch of videos called '100 years of beauty' and there are some from all around the world!
+Lisa Eldridge oooo i cant wait to check it out! youre the best
+ellabooxo thank you!!
Well, only our Lisa can rock a monobrow 😅😍💋 #fangirling
lol no
*****
plenty of girls pull off unibrows
+Jess Taylor "unibrows are hard to pull off and I think your skin looked really good at the same time! This video was so interesting, thank you for making it!" Was that wording careful enough for you, Jesus.
+Jess Taylor lol i have one yet i never do em and yet I'm still the prettiest girl in class😂 just saying. not trynna boast or anythin 😏
+The Big Fat Orangutan Lool but you're boasting! Did you get voted the prettiest in class or did a guy convince you of it? 😂
Amazing! So detailed and lovely. Must have taken so much time and effort, loved this. Would love to see your interpretations and history of East Asian and South Asian looks! Would be so so interesting!
Brilliant! I smiled all the way through this video!
I love to hear that ! X
BREAK THE INTERNET, Lisa Eldridge! ;D
+Kaisersluver haha : D X
Interesting, but with due respect, somewhat ruined by the wash-out lighting CGI-style lighting that virtually eliminates any lines, wrinkles or "flaws" on your face. Would be nice if you did a truly naturally lit video with no tricks.
+DDumbrille Its supposed to be a fun, educational video. I doubt she was thinking of "hiding her wrinkles". Is that really all you took away from the video?
Amanda Tooke No certainly not -- it was very educational. But overall, I think the lighting tricks, etc., that I mentioned, sends a subtle message (i.e. her skin is so flawless!) that some might think they can never live up to, because they don't realize the tricks that are involved.
+DDumbrille I never had that thought cross my mind while watching this video...? I mean I wished I could see some of the Egyptian and Flapper Era makeup more closely in detail, but I didn't think "damn, I can't see her usual wrinkles and imperfections with all these effects - she must have perfect skin!"
besides when she shows her no makeup face, her imperfections are clearly visible o_o
Your accent and the way you speak is just fabulous!
I had to rewatch this, I really have not enough words to describe your incredible talent Lisa!
I LOVE your historic makeup videos. This was so so full of fun and education. Thank you for all you do. No one does this anymore.
I really loved this video! I watched your previous video the other day and decided I HAD to get your book. You really sold it to me. And guess what... IT JUST ARRIVED!!! I'm going to spend a good chunk of this afternoon looking through it! Thank you so much for providing such good information. I really value everything you put out!!
+Tiffany G thank you, I hope you will really love the book! X
Its so amazing how much Love and work you Must have spend to do this Video! You are incredible
I love the Grecian look. It's so soft and rosy.
This is fantastic!! I’m the Head Instructor at the Southwest Makeup Institute in Albuquerque NM and I’m going to show this to my class during Decades week!!! They’ll love it and it’ll inspire so many looks! Thank you🙏🏼
You are so funny Lisa, love you since I started subscribed to you years ago.
+Iskandar Zulkarnaen thanks : ) X
Lisa Eldridge i love you so much your so awesome
The majority of this was Western history tho. Asia's use of make-up is also quite interesting. Just a suggestion if you plan to expand this video :)
I agree. Let's move to other continents beside just Europe. Tho, Europe is my favorite. :3
This video is just a short trailer of whats in my book 'Face Paint', there is actually a lot of Asian history in the book ....and yes I agree, it is super interesting! X
Paula Roussel yeah honey that's why the comment says 'the majority'
How you all tend to love multiculturalism.
Oh my god, this is brilliant!! Amazingly interesting , and it must have taken SO much effort! Lisa, thank you!!
I loved this so much, going through time to see all the different looks and how the definition of beauty changes with each passing of the decade is fascinating to watch.
I love this videos, it's very educating, serious and the make up are really clean.
This woman made learning fun , Where have you been?!?!?
How can she pull off literally anything!! Plus her voice is so soothing and wonderful
Οne of the most original and interesting makeup videos I've ever seen!!! Congrats! Evi
That purple eye shadow is incredible. I simply must try it. Any advice on brands, my good people?
