I work for an ophthalmologist and a couple years ago we had a patient call in for an emergency appointment to dee the doctor because she was separating her lashes with a needle and poked her eyeball with it. Lash brushes are good enough! Lol. Love your videos.
We used safety pins in the 80s ! We were highly committed to getting those natural looking feathery lashes . I used the little ones then would bend it, never had one accident! The brushes and combs just didn't compare unfortunately. Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone use safety pins to separate their lashes 😎 Also, why they call them " safety pins "is beyond me! 😅
@@krissykriss328 In Spanish we call them "imperdibles" that translates as something like "unloseables". Sorry, I couldn't find if the word even existed in English. I found "unmissable" but I'm not sure if you can use it for an object that can't be lost.
Lord have mercy 😭 I have definitely had one patient in the ER from this and was very confused and now I finally know why. Thankfully she just got it stuck in the eyelid, not great but she didn’t mess up her cornea so not as gnarly 😖 I had always thought she had been in some terrible sewing incident 😅
I’ve said it before and I’mma say it again. She is giving us what we need in the beauty community. What we’ve been looking for. We wanna LEARN. We don’t wanna be SOLD shit every five seconds. Thank you so much babe for your work. This is your online gay bestie/fan! Lol
I was getting so tired of it too! Erin single-handedly revived my love for watching makeup videos. Well only hers at least 😂 They’re just so informative and fun!
I had no idea Marilyn did the “take the makeup off” trick but I do that to myself everyday. I apply my base makeup, then take water on a paper towel and gently just dab. It takes some of the base off but for whatever reason, just makes my face look flawless. Soft. Even toned and poreless. I don’t understand how or why it works in me, but it does. ❤
I used to do this when I was younger but with lotion! I’d do my whole face with my foundation/powder & at the very end I’d take the tiniest dab, rub it on my hands & lightly press them into my skin to give it an almost dewy finish 🤲🏼 ❤
@@yeeaahhzzeen mixing my foundation with lotion for years! I have desert dry skin so that's why I originally started doing it.

@@LeeLeeCRNyesss that Clinique one works so well with foundations! I've even been able to take a super high coverage, matte foundation and turn it into a natural finish.
Laura, Like you, I'm not really a makeup person, but I'm hooked on everything Erin produces! She is incredibly knowledgeable and the content she provides is so compelling. Add to that her genuine and open personality and it feels like your best friend just dropped in to teach you the latest beauty tip or whisper some delicious Hollywood gossip in your ear! I try not to miss a single video - they just make me feel good! ☺️
I'm just going to start referring to you as a makeup historian. It pleases me to the depths of my soul that you included Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge in your video. I always thought of them as beautiful. I also thought that Grace Kelly had great fashion sense and might have been photogenic. I've just never seen a bad picture of her. I think of Jennifer Lopez in the same way. And Mae West....I wish she had movies done about her. I didn't know until Dita Von Teese mentioned that she didn't move to Hollywood and sign a movie contract until she was 40. Mae West acted in, wrote, directed and produced so many things. It just seems like she doesn't get the credit that she could have gotten. Please continue to share what you've learned about these iconic women.
I follow a few influencers, not many, tho. I love Erin, Bailey, and Jamie French the most, tho. Jamie just does movie reviews and comedy now. I really love old Hollywood. I love these videos very much. ❤❤❤
She’s giving us original, creative content, glamour, history, art and makeup tutorials. All conveyed with a sweet, quirky charm. I hope her channel explodes!❤
Wow, just WOW. Erin popped up on my feed and I'm obsessed now. I'm 42 and my mom raised me on the Hollywood starlets. "Black and white" movies. The acting was so incredible back in those days. I still cry every dang time I watch Wuthering Heights. You really FEEL those old movies. Def different from present lol
@Erin Parsons Makeup oh gosh yesssss. I watch every year around Christmas. It's my thing lol I'm so glad there are folks like me out there! And don't get me started on Casablanca lol
I’ve been doing a variation on that Marilyn tip on my own - I spritz my finished look (before or instead of setting spray) with witch hazel based toner in a spray bottle, wait for it to set down into a “mask” and then firmly press, not wipe, a tissue over the face to pick up as much I can before finishing with a spray if I want to lock that in. It’s great for a natural look.
Taylor Swift does a variation of this. Kind of a random one off I read somewhere but she said she always blots off her foundation with a tissue. I personally use a clean, dry blending brush to blend everything out which always ends up taking off some foundation
Ive been rewatching your videos in order over and over! I dont know what it is about you but you’re so calm and your video concepts speak to me. KEEP IT COMING, I LOVE IT!!
@@ibanez856 Isn't it just like your BF dropped by to show you the latest beauty secrets when you watch one of Erin's videos? She makes you feel like she's sitting right next to you guiding your hand until you get the technique just right and the color matches your skin tone, or the eyeliner is drawn fully, or the curlers are removed and your hair is perfectly coiffed. And, the whole time she's sitting there with you, she has a pile of Hollywood gossip magazines that she's paging through and keeping up a steady stream of conversation about the stars' beauty routines and their supposed best kept secrets. Erin's depth of knowledge about the history and origins of makeup is truly incredible, but it's her warm and genuine nature that makes Erin such a stand out SUPER STAR from among all the glamorous stars she shares information about!! 🌟✨💫 It is truly a gift to be able to talk to hundreds, but make it seem as though you are having a one -to-one conversation. Erin is so very gifted and captivating! Bravo and encore, encore!!! 💅💋💕🧡
i just love how you can see her different categories of creativity come out through her appearance. mixing sparkly tooth earrings and vintage makeup styles is so fun and i love how she is unconditionally herself🤍
"I dont need false lashes, just 45 coats of mascara" 😂that had me cracking up ! Its so awesome to be seeing you do long form videos I've always loved when you did the shorter videos but lowkey always wanted more so its great to see you posting on youtube. Makeup history, I feel like, doesn't get as much love as it should... the looks and styles done so many years ago always come back in some way or another and its cool to have some one as dedicated as you to be bringing the history to life !
I’m impressed that these beauty icons from different times and professions did have applications that created this unique look together. Especially since each actress, dancer looks so different from each other and you! It’s such a cool experiment and delightful to see!
Here's the thing: watching Erin's videos is truly invigorating. You feel so fresh afterward, and like you want to just play with makeup! She really is what the makeup community needs - I love this kind of content so so much ❤
There's something different about your channel... I love everything you're putting out so far, I'm excited for more content! Not to mention your personal sense of style is so fun! I know it's not makeup related but I'd love to see you do videos related to your style/clothes as well if you'd want to share that kind of thing 😊
Because of Erin, I have been researching about these style icons throughout the decades and being someone who loves History? It has been a blast learning about these women. Now I have been rewatching Gentleman Prefer Blondes and videos about Marilyn and Josephine Baker
I would love, love to see a Jayne Mansfield inspired look! I’ve always noticed how unique her lips were, and how beautiful her curls were! Your videos are soothing for me to watch! I can’t wait for more 💕💕
I just love your channel!! I am a retired Cosmetologist(Hairstylist)/Cosmetology Instructor; I did a lot of skin care and make-up applications in my day. Your demos are so informative and lovely to watch!! I also love that you spotlight the stars of the Golden Age of Cinema! My major after Cosmetology School was Theatre and although I didn't finish that one, I still act a lot in "Am-Dram". I have used a couple of your techniques in my stage makeup application. Keep it up, Gorgeous!!
There’s something about your personality that I love - there’s this sense of confidence and charisma mixed with friendliness that makes me want to trust whatever you’re saying. ❤
I absolutely loved that you took a wide range of beauty icons. I think it’s fabulous and very current that you didn’t just use old Hollywood and show from a Caucasian beauty standard. Thank you so much for including women of color in your video and thank you so much for showing these techniques from old Hollywood.
The diversity has always been out there. The very first beauty book I read as a 14yr old was The Leslie Uggams Beauty Book. It was for everyone and had gorgrous photos of her.
@Under Construction Time, putting the money into the supplies, and living in a modern world. 🤷♀️ The list could go on why faster hairstyles have to be done for me, personally. That's why we don't tell strangers what they can and can't do. Because we don't know them. Lol I'm not a Hollywood starlet either. So I don't have anyone doing it for me.
I've never been that into make up for myself, but I love your channel. You make it really clear how this is art with yourself as a canvas. I think it's so important that you show how many looks are perfectly attainable for average people, and not a genetic lottery win. In my life, I've seen so many bemoan their looks when the difference between them and a movie star was a stylist, a make-up artist, and a hairdresser. I also hope this helps people only get plastic surgery for their permanent preferences, and leave body and facial trends to make-up and clothing tricks.
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this! I love that you're bringing these vintage techniques into the 21st century, and showing us how we could incorporate them in our looks today. Definitely going to try some of these!
@@whyhihigh she returned that. So plz don’t spread hate here. Also she was very respectful, the way she never sampled any of Marilyn’s original lipstick should demonstrate that, and you should know better !
I LOVE that you’re authentic and relatable. You are actually encouraging me to switch my make-up up! I did that a lot when I was younger but the last five years I just did the same routines all the time. You’re rekindling my passion for make-up!
You very quickly became my favourite TH-camr and not just because we both love Marilyn Monroe so much. I love your whole vibe and how educational and fun your videos are ❤
I’ve never been interested in make up till I found your channel. Watching your videos has given me new found respect for people who do makeup. It’s very informative. Thanks for posting these you are iconic!
You are exactly the kind of beauty inspiration I need in my life! You taught me how to use makeup better and not just buy more. (Although I do like getting new makeup 😅)
This was fun! Love these tips. I have a star stamp that I use to make a star on my face when I'm feeling extra. Love your channel can't believe I just recently found you. Love the vintage looks!
Also I feel like perhaps the vintage max factor panstik had a more oilier consistency making it easier to take off with a tissue simply by patting it as Marilyn described, but this Krayolin tv stick is very dry and matte, I have this one so I know it’s really matte. Also the modern pan stick is also not that matte. So maybe Erin you can try with max factor ? 😊
I actually don’t find it matte. 😊 but not radiant either - I have the old pan sticks and the texture seemed very similar to me. But maybe I’ll do a video using an actual Panstik from that time. Hopefully it won’t affect my skin eek! But I’m curious to see the difference. Also I’ve seen pics of Marilyn at her makeup table with the Panstik product so I do believe she would have used it exactly. I even have a quote from whitey on which color 🤩
Howard Hughes had a lot to do with this look due to his casting of Jean Harlow in his film, "hells angels"! Howard Hughes truly had incredible taste when his ocd wasn't fully taking over his psyche!
I have to say I’m so glad you made a TH-cam and started posting here. I really love these longer form videos so i appreciate you bringing some content for us!
Absolutey adore this video!💕 I'm 53 & started using every cosmetic I could get my hands on in the 80's as a teen. My mom raised us on old Hollywood movies and was always telling me about tips she'd heard thru the years that old Hollywood stars used. Of course, I tried to incorporate them into my 80's routine. I thought the Marlene Dietrich soot eyeshadow was an absolute genius trick. I heard she invented it during World War 2 while on the road supporting the troops & makeup was scarce. Long story long, lol, depending on how much vaseline I used or how sweaty I got in gym class, it worked really well...sometimes!😄 Love your channel!🥰
I’m a guy that doesn’t wear makeup, but I sure love history as well as art. Came across your video of a reel about Marilyn Monroe, and love that we have a mutual friend with Mr. Julien in common. Makeup is truly a form of art, and I absolutely love learning not only the history, but watching your intricate techniques. You’re a true expert in your craft and can’t wait to see more videos of you!
You make my soul happy every upload I followed u and was just so happy u came to TH-cam to share ....your knowledge......there are things I have collected for years makeup and hair antiques ...plus ancient artifacts I only have a few Egyptian mainly and keeping a true love for old Hollywood. The stories ...Tricks... tips things I feel has been lost ..I've study ancient civilizations and Old Hollywood for 20 years amateurly ...A professional makeup Artist and cosmetologists has been my profession but I did go back to school just for the knowledge....history rituals and beauty is my life interest...funny mix people say ...I maybe digging in the dirt one day and the next in a wig and red highheels...you are cut from the same cloth I feel..Thanku for these videos ❤
I totally loved seeing the beautiful glamour these actresses had! Please do more of these for us history buffs. Erin, you have ignited my interest in Hollywood Glamour!
erin, you are literally my absolute favourite makeup artist, i finished my diploma in beauty therapy and for the makeup units you inspired me so much and i used the technique’s you do, you’re an icon and i love all the makeup history you share with us💘
Different techniques from not only different icons, but different eras with their respective, very distinct trends...and the end result was giving Biba. Great video! 💖 New sub.
Thank you for all that you do. I know it is hard work but let me tell you that we appreciate you so much. You brought back what the beauty community needed ♡ genuine love for our community that was loosing touch.
I really appreciate your warm vocal quality and passion for make-up artistry. They lured me in! AND...even though it can be dangerous if you don't go gentle and slow, I separate my lashes with a small safety pin as needed. The lashes have to be wet though and I find it works best if you are mixing 2 different mascaras (which I do often). I will be trying a few of these, that soot eyeshadow is sexy but understated. Thanks for the intel, sis! 💗✨
Your work as an artist, influencer and vintage lover is mesmerizing!! I already learned so much about beauty history and makeup tips!! You are one in a million, congrats!!
Absolutely adore what you're here, not only are we learning but with you diving into the history part of it becomes so unique. New is not always better,vintage is fabulous ✨️
I LOVE you SOOOO much! This video is probably my favorite so far because I am the only person I know who keeps a cable subscription just so I can watch TCM on demand! And I mostly watch films from roughly 1935- 1945, and let’s be honest, 37- 42 are the BEST years… give me Joan (Crawford, Fontaine & Blondell), give me Bette, Jean, Olivia, Rosalind, Lana, Katherine, Glenda, Jimmy, Cary, Franchot, Clarke, Errol, the trio of Roberts… Taylor, Montgomery, Young…. Girl, you know. It just makes my heart so happy to know that someone else loves that old golden age where they didn’t have to use sex, violence or profanity to make a great film, and don’t get me wrong, I’m down with some sex, violence and profanity… but they kept it classy! Thank you for what you’re doing!

I LOVE that you’re authentic and relatable. You are actually encouraging me to switch my make-up up! I did that a lot when I was younger but the last five years I just did the same routines all the time. You’re rekindling my passion for make-up!
Love you Erin! Thank you for all that you do so diligently! I would love to see you in Liz Taylor glamor from the 50s 😏💕💕💕
I’d definitely love to try that! I actually have a couple of her wigs 😍
When people embrace their hobbies, we end up with awesome content like this!! So glad she’s doing what she’s doing
Loving your channel so much! Your deep research and attention to detail is super appreciated. You're inspiring me. 💛
Love that you used tips from celebrities with different ethnicities. Love Dolores del Rio 🇲🇽
You very quickly became my favourite TH-camr and not just because we both love Marilyn Monroe so much. I love your whole vibe and how educational and fun your videos are ❤
I love how you have fun with colour in your clothes and make up, you mix warm and cool colours effortlessly which is actually really tricky! ❤
This was amazing! Thank you for putting this together! And of course, your makeup turned out gorgeous
I’ve never been interested in make up till I found your channel. Watching your videos has given me new found respect for people who do makeup. It’s very informative. Thanks for posting these you are iconic!
Erin, this was so good! I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Those earrings and the nails matching the lips are everything!
I’m not even a hair or makeup person but I just find you absolutely fascinating!
I ADORE your videos! Never stop! ❤❤❤
i love how you get straight to the point
You have become one of my favorites TH-camrs! Keep being amazing, doll!
You are the one and only in the beauty community saying or doing something different. congratulations.
Love your charisma, your voice, everything! You're so calming and your videos are engaging
The Mae West impression was brilliant!
You are exactly the kind of beauty inspiration I need in my life! You taught me how to use makeup better and not just buy more. (Although I do like getting new makeup 😅)
Stunning without the makeup and stunning with the makeup! This is the best beauty Chanel right now! ❤️❌⭕️
This was fun! Love these tips. I have a star stamp that I use to make a star on my face when I'm feeling extra. Love your channel can't believe I just recently found you. Love the vintage looks!
Just love love watching you!!! I adore vintage!!!
Also I feel like perhaps the vintage max factor panstik had a more oilier consistency making it easier to take off with a tissue simply by patting it as Marilyn described, but this Krayolin tv stick is very dry and matte, I have this one so I know it’s really matte. Also the modern pan stick is also not that matte. So maybe Erin you can try with max factor ? 😊
I actually don’t find it matte. 😊 but not radiant either - I have the old pan sticks and the texture seemed very similar to me. But maybe I’ll do a video using an actual Panstik from that time. Hopefully it won’t affect my skin eek! But I’m curious to see the difference. Also I’ve seen pics of Marilyn at her makeup table with the Panstik product so I do believe she would have used it exactly. I even have a quote from whitey on which color 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup I’ve noticed that mehron creme sticks are a little more oily than kryolan. I wonder how that would work 🤔
Oh lord she breaking out the pan sticks 😂
Howard Hughes had a lot to do with this look due to his casting of Jean Harlow in his film, "hells angels"! Howard Hughes truly had incredible taste when his ocd wasn't fully taking over his psyche!
Is anyone else getting Sharon Tate vibes with Erin’s eyes? 🤩😍
I can see that 😊
I have to say I’m so glad you made a TH-cam and started posting here. I really love these longer form videos so i appreciate you bringing some content for us!
LOVE your channel ❤
Absolutey adore this video!💕 I'm 53 & started using every cosmetic I could get my hands on in the 80's as a teen. My mom raised us on old Hollywood movies and was always telling me about tips she'd heard thru the years that old Hollywood stars used. Of course, I tried to incorporate them into my 80's routine. I thought the Marlene Dietrich soot eyeshadow was an absolute genius trick. I heard she invented it during World War 2 while on the road supporting the troops & makeup was scarce. Long story long, lol, depending on how much vaseline I used or how sweaty I got in gym class, it worked really well...sometimes!😄 Love your channel!🥰
This channel has quickly become one of my absolute favorites
Everytime i see you made a vintage beauty video i get soo happy!
I’m a guy that doesn’t wear makeup, but I sure love history as well as art. Came across your video of a reel about Marilyn Monroe, and love that we have a mutual friend with Mr. Julien in common. Makeup is truly a form of art, and I absolutely love learning not only the history, but watching your intricate techniques. You’re a true expert in your craft and can’t wait to see more videos of you!
You make my soul happy every upload I followed u and was just so happy u came to TH-cam to share ....your knowledge......there are things I have collected for years makeup and hair antiques ...plus ancient artifacts I only have a few Egyptian mainly and keeping a true love for old Hollywood. The stories ...Tricks... tips things I feel has been lost ..I've study ancient civilizations and Old Hollywood for 20 years amateurly ...A professional makeup Artist and cosmetologists has been my profession but I did go back to school just for the knowledge....history rituals and beauty is my life interest...funny mix people say ...I maybe digging in the dirt one day and the next in a wig and red highheels...you are cut from the same cloth I feel..Thanku for these videos ❤
I love these vintage makeup videos! Please do tons more 🙏
I really appreciate you highlighting Dorothy Dandridge and Ana Mae Wong
I totally loved seeing the beautiful glamour these actresses had! Please do more of these for us history buffs. Erin, you have ignited my interest in Hollywood Glamour!
erin, you are literally my absolute favourite makeup artist, i finished my diploma in beauty therapy and for the makeup units you inspired me so much and i used the technique’s you do, you’re an icon and i love all the makeup history you share with us💘
Love the range of women you mention. Gets me excited learning about classic beauties and their techniques.
Different techniques from not only different icons, but different eras with their respective, very distinct trends...and the end result was giving Biba. Great video! 💖 New sub.
I love how you dive straight into topic without a long intro. you have a lovely channel, thank your for sharing your knowledge
Thank you for all that you do. I know it is hard work but let me tell you that we appreciate you so much. You brought back what the beauty community needed ♡ genuine love for our community that was loosing touch.
I really appreciate your warm vocal quality and passion for make-up artistry. They lured me in! AND...even though it can be dangerous if you don't go gentle and slow, I separate my lashes with a small safety pin as needed. The lashes have to be wet though and I find it works best if you are mixing 2 different mascaras (which I do often). I will be trying a few of these, that soot eyeshadow is sexy but understated. Thanks for the intel, sis! 💗✨
Your work as an artist, influencer and vintage lover is mesmerizing!! I already learned so much about beauty history and makeup tips!! You are one in a million, congrats!!
Absolutely adore what you're here, not only are we learning but with you diving into the history part of it becomes so unique. New is not always better,vintage is fabulous ✨️
I LOVE vintage beauty so much!! ❤❤ keep those videos coming
Stunning! Especially loving the "eyeshadow"!
I love all the makeup tips & tricks of Hollywood icons being a black & white movie lover!
I also love your molar earrings!
Nice to see icons with different skin tones and styles ❤
Where have you been all my life! The highlight of my day is when I get to watch a new video or TikTok from you.
I’m loving the clumpy mascara look! 😱😍
I LOVE you SOOOO much! This video is probably my favorite so far because I am the only person I know who keeps a cable subscription just so I can watch TCM on demand! And I mostly watch films from roughly 1935- 1945, and let’s be honest, 37- 42 are the BEST years… give me Joan (Crawford, Fontaine & Blondell), give me Bette, Jean, Olivia, Rosalind, Lana, Katherine, Glenda, Jimmy, Cary, Franchot, Clarke, Errol, the trio of Roberts… Taylor, Montgomery, Young…. Girl, you know. It just makes my heart so happy to know that someone else loves that old golden age where they didn’t have to use sex, violence or profanity to make a great film, and don’t get me wrong, I’m down with some sex, violence and profanity… but they kept it classy!
Thank you for what you’re doing!
Wow! your earrings are fabulous and so are you 😍
