*hey guys, welcome back to my channel. So today I'm going to show you a simple, everyday makeup tutorial that is quick and easy for when you're on the run when the next crusade comes.* No but in all honesty, great video
LOL this comment is great and goes so well with a thought that always *plagues* me about the past: What would people have been like had the had access to job careers like we have now. How many poor farmers were actually amazing singers or could have made the sickest death metal band? What poor fellow who could never change their lot in life because of strict and suffocating society rules might have made an amazing fantasy book author? This junk keeps me up at night some times and makes me thankful for being alive in a time that gives us amazing opportunities. 😂
Garnet You make some very good and thought provoking comments. I am going to make a guess that I cannot back up with numbers, but I would think it would be proportional to the number of singers, writers etc that we have today. As a sociologist, I can say that societal norms and place in society (it was like a caste such as we see in India even today) and it was about as inflexible as iron. If a person was born into a peasant family, that was to be their lot in life. About the only possible thing would be to join one of the orders in the church (1300s - would be Catholic Church as that is all that existed then), but that had its own caste system of its own. Examples would be different positions in a monastery, or priest - bishop - archbishop - cardinal and pope. Class lines were very strict as you accurately noted. Again, an excellent comment.
I feel like this shows on the very upper middle class. I'm sure my ancestors were out farming in the morning, ain't nobody got time for a morning facial xD
In the description it says she would have been in the middle-upper middle class. The wife of a successful craftsman or tradesman or something of the sort. Well-off, but not quite upper class.
As you have a lot of ancestors , chances aren't too low that probably one of them ( remember, 10 generations back you already have 1016 ancestors, and maybe one of them was a son of a youngest daughter, whose father might have been an earl or something like that. You'd be surprised how quickly offspring's aren't noble anymore, for example the eldest granddaughter auf the queen, Zara Phillips, doesn't hold a princess or duchess title, since her mother , princess royal Anne, only was a woman who married a certain man named Philips.
@@DiiAM00NDx3 Zara Philips actually coud have had a title, but her mother and father decided against any titles for their children. Mark Philips was offered an earldom on his wedding to Anne, but he refused. So it's not because Anne was a woman, but because Anne and Mark didn't want their children to have a title.
Around 4:46 they mention a lip balm made of honey and byrony or Bryony. Bryony is a plant known for its' highly irritative qualities, used on the skin in small doses it produces a redness and honey is moisturising so the combination is a perfect lipbalm!
How come they play this pseudo-gregorian chant through the whole video? People in the 14th Century, WITHOUT RECORDED MUSIC, would have heard this "sound-track" ONLY if they lived in a monastery.
because we did not want to use the same piece of music on 10 of our videos and the amount of available royalty free, original 14th century simple peoples music is limited.
For much of history it is hard to know what everyday life for commoners was like because no one wrote about them, and they couldn’t write for themselves. History was written for social elites
The same with herbs used to cure and prevent diseases from time to time. Those people were hardly ever fat, and they ate real food. Nothing they had was ever filled with chemicals or at least not as much as they add to it, today.
I mean, a lot of people eat "real" food today- although the high amounts of sugar and insane amounts of corn syrup are definitely contributors, it's actually in large part just due to physical exertion rather than food- like if you look at the 1960s, etc. they were definitely going ham with cool new foods, eating lots of sweets, etc. but they still were extremely physically active. Nowadays, we have cars for transportation instead of walking, delivery right to our house, more jobs based around sitting at a desk, kids using stuff like IPads instead of physically engaging toys (remember when just recently stuff like Moon Shoes and Skip-Its were cool toys to have?) - so even if a family eats super healthy, there's many other contributing factors Also, a note that everything is chemicals. Even an apple straight from a tree in the middle of nowhere is chemicals. Chemicals as a word shouldn't be used for fear-mongering. Specify what you mean: artificial sweeteners linked to cancer? Corn syrup present in things it definitely shouldn't be in? Anti-biotics in meat? Insecticide used on plants?
Satanism is Cancer wealthy people were overweight. They ate for entertainment, like we do today. Others were slim because food was basic for common people and they didn’t have an abundance of it for themselves. Nettle soup ect. Not many calories. Even certain fruits were only affordable for the rich. Things you’d assume the poor would of ate. They ate a lot of bread. Society has made gorging acceptable & modern people are overweight because food is literally everywhere & it’s affordable for everyone. I don’t think it’s about chemicals so much. It’s about calories and control. Crap like crisps, chocolate ect is easy to come by. People can’t even watch a film without buying popcorn. You look around theme parks & everyone’s eating a hotdog or pretzel. They’re literally adding calories to calories. Deep fried mars bars! Bacon and syrup on pancakes. Everyone’s a foodie now because we’re spoilt for choice. 😅🤦🏻♀️
alainaluu You can find them at on line shopping sites that sell Medieval and Renaissance jewelry and costumes. I like Pearson's Renaissance Shoppe. Good luck!
You don't get to eat in the dining hall unless you're fully dressed. But you gotta put makeup on and be presentable before getting dressed in the morning.
I agree that she does look pretty mad. Did you get a load of the dagger she had? Maybe her husband was cheating on her, and she was planning to give him a big what for with it. lol
Indeed not. She was a Lady's Maid -- a very high status servant, who would have lorded it over all other household servants, and probably would not have deigned to even speak to a yard-worker.
@@martinahedlund7919 If someone doesn't understand something, we politely inform. We do not mock. Sevenelleven Slurpie, yes, everything had a ranking system during this time. It was ranked by class and wealth. :)
Actually ladies in waiting were noble women themselves and the women they waited on were of a higher status.Young girls of high or noble status were usually sent away to serve a higher ranking noble or an older no in exchange for being taught etiquette, dancing, singing, how to be graceful, conduct, and other things at the time that would make you marriagable material and a proper woman of your station. They weren't peasants hence why the lady in waiting is dressed in a similar manner. If she was a peasant or a maid she would not have worn a fine blue dress or a circlet or expensive leather. Her manner of dress would have been very plain and without much color and would have been shapeless with a apron more or less.
This wasn't a lady in waiting situation.... This was a servant and a merchant class lady, I would assume. Not elaborate or luxe enough to be a royal or even noble lady.
Die kleinen Details, wie die Nelken in den Haaren, das Deo, die Strumpfhalter, die Kosmetik... zeigen, wie sorfältig dieses Video recherchiert wurde. Super gemacht, und ausgesprochen interessant!
Just take a gander at random folks the next time you take a trip to the local market... Take a good look... You see, there is actually a reason that so many are lamenting on the length of time the lady in the video invested in getting herself presentable. We currently live in a society that deems it acceptable to go about our errands in pajamas, for heaven's sake! Hair rollers left in the hair, pajamas, garments with visible holes and/or stains, uncombed hair, bedroom slippers, etc.... All are apparently deemed to be perfectly acceptable public attire by today's standards!
Kat M No, not really. I’m a historical re-enactor, and they’ve actually slowed down the dressing process to make this video. When it comes to 14th century dress, it only takes me about ten minutes to apply the makeup, do my hair into the ‘leia buns’, and get dressed in a surcoat, overgown, and kirtle- and that’s all without extra help from another person.
This is wonderful. Thank you so much for making it, it's amazing that now in the 21st century we can still relate to the make-up and skin care routines of women 700 years ago. It gives such a feeling of kinship to those who went before us.
Well I kind of was just kidding and comparing herself to myself - who does have to get off to work. But although she was the lady of the manor, she did have daily responsibilities. She didn't just sit around all day
Everybody that is from an European country or descends from europeans has ancestors that lived this long ago, and even before. We don't grow from cabagges 😊😊
NotABlatantly ReligiousUsername To an extent, yeah, but people lost teeth more often than they do today. Wisdom teeth used to replace teeth that had been lost by that point.
Very cool. Realistically, she would have probably had no eyebrows and her hairline would have been plucked back (large foreheads were considered very beautiful). Would probably look very strange to us... and I'm sure the models weren't willing to go that far, ha.
Karen K hello, please correct me if I'm wrong...but was the moderate to light make up application popular in England before Elizabethan Era? I've read somewhere that she used to take her face with lead and rouge and lip tint to hide her scars she had sreceived when she had a bout of small pox. Or pre- Marie Antoinette in Europe?
Hi! Yes, based on what I know, I think this was pretty much how makeup was done until Elizabeth decided that she and her entire court should look like Pinhead from Hellraiser, LOL. And French makeup in the Marie Antoinette era was also heavy and very garish (talking about nobility, not average or lower class people, who probably didn't wear too much makeup in ANY era before the 1920s).
The makeup certainly wasn't "garish". The paintings of nobles throughout Europe of the 18th century are shown with flattering makeup and only old women are described in literature as wearing too much. And the trends may have been set in France but the nobility and elite in all of Europe as well as colonies imitated it. However, plucking the hairline was popular into the early to mid 18th century (though not at the same extent) Marie Antoinette's own governess ended up extending Marie's hairline with tight hair styles. And Elizabeth certainly didn't start the heavy makeup, she was just well known for it. And keep in mind that the Mona Lisa was painted 30 odd years before Elizabeth was even born and it still shows plucked hair.
I’d be afraid to let anyone in the castle/ fortress touch me, hygiene for the lower class wasn’t so good. Water was dangerous to use or drink, and most people didn’t have the money to bath.
That people never bathed is a myth that has been spread in historism at the beginning of the 20th century. Yes, in the 17th -19th century, that was the case for most big cities, that had mostly to do with a wrong understanding of medicine and the spread of several diseases like the plague, tuberculosis, cholera etc. that caused a lot of insecurity and fear in people. But in medieval times, people were in fact very aware of their daily hygiene. They would wash themselves daily with a washbowl and washcloth and some lye or soap and then went to the bathhouses for a proper bath 1-2 times a week, more if it was a person of status that had their own bathtubs at home. Also washing and changing clothing regularly was a common practice and we know from moral writers of the time that body odor and dirty clothing was frowned upon by society.
That was very interesting. I had no idea they used deodorant in the 14th century! I wouldn’t like to trust bilberry leaves in the heatwave we’re currently experiencing in the UK!
The need for deodorant wasn't the same, a big factor that plays into this is that clothes were made from all natural fibers allowing the skin to breathe, and wicking away moisture, thus not creating closed damp spaces, in which bacteria can grow and cause body odor, the same way modern clothes does. I do viking age reenactment myself and don't usually use any deodorant when doing so as it's not necessary like normal so long as I clean myself before getting dressed.
Depending on the woman's status, she wouldn't move around as much as we do these days. So their need for deodorant was different than ours. Of course, i can't say the same about the men - i think they've always been more active. Plus i think their walls would keep the rooms cool enough in summer ... and probably quite freezing in winter too.
Sheila S, I believe their sense of smell wasn't so offended with faul odours as our is nowadays. For instance, the Palace of Versailles had no toilettes for the court or visitors, so people urinated or defecated behind curtains, on the stairs, etc. It smelled worse than a toilet in a gas station...So, the smell of nasty harmpit was nothing to them.
Also, people didn't shave their armpits, which freaks out your skin (making you produce certain things more) and prevents your sweat having anywhere to go, both of which cause you to smell much worse. Between that, natural fibers, and staying indoors, it wouldn't have been nearly as much a problem.
Ladies in waiting were usually also nobility, hence why they are called "Ladies." Of course I don't know the exact situation they were trying to emulate, but that young woman might have even been her own daughter. The point was to show girls what they should expect for themselves when they married and for them to be seen at court to advertise their availability as well as their elite status as part of Lady so-and-so's retinue. Of course there were still straight up servants, maids, serfs/peasants, even slaves depending on the region and specific time period, but given that the girl was wearing a metal circlet, metal brooch, and had a dress of similar style and detail (buttons, etc.), I'd wager she wasn't at the complete bottom of the social ladder. That would just be my educated guess, of course, We're talking an entire century and a broad region here. Everyone had their own way of doing things and customs varied slightly from family to family, court to court, and region to region.
Ok this was pretty cool to watch...but I loved the music tho.That was utterly beautiful I would love to have that playing in my house as a I swirl around😻
Almost has a mesmerizing effect, doesn't it? The combination of the ongoing music, together with the quiet, unhurried cosmetic procedures, done one at a time - and especially the continuing assistance. This was a good video - made you think a little while watching - thank you for posting it!
All the people saying how long it takes. The video is under 10 minutes and even if you consider the time cuts and double it, 20 minutes isn’t exorbitant amount of time to spend getting ready from skin care to clothes.
crazy808ish Nothing wrong with it per se, but you don't excactly see modern women walking around visibly armed with a decorated blade. I wanna know wtf was going down where such an "odd" item was so neccesary, it earned its own exclusive sheath and was incorperated into everyday fashion. Or perhaps i'm just spoiled by the modern luxuries of carrying a purse that more discreetly conceals my knife while also holding many other items😂
That's the thing. It's hardly an armament. Just a standard everyday tool. And carrying it around on a belt means it's easily accessible at all times. Unlike a purse, 'cause you're not exactly gonna walk around your house carrying a purse.
Upper class women of the manor - non nobility but fancy - did crafts and work all day that required a small knife (cutting herbs, used to cut cloth or thread for sewing projects, etc) and was also used for eating and cutting meat. Even noble women carried a small knife on them when they traveled, as a last line of defence should their knights fail them and their honor was at stake.
Awesome routine with natural cosmetics and modest clothing 😍😍😍.I love this....in my 50+ I need only some linen or in winter wool dresses, tunicas and trousers, fresh water and soap and a good night cream to feel well. It' s my style.
Natural cosmetics.... You mean lead white face cream. Natural isn't always healthy. Lead is natural, but also caused many people lead poisoning from rubbing it on their face daily.
yes, but if you watched the whole video, you can see everything she does. and we did do everything extra slow, so let it be another 5 minutes for the parts of dressing we did not show, it would still be 15 minutes to get ready.
The knive was used as an eating utensil. Everyone carried around a small knive to eat with before forks became more common and for a woman it added a little protection.
It’s really interesting how apart from makeup being more simple(and her morning not including things like brushing her teeth and showering) very little about morning routines specifically skincare has changed. Like today we exfoliate and moisturise our skin and we still use things like rose water and honey lip balm. Obviously this wasn’t the average woman’s morning routine but it’s still cool that this wouldn’t seem out of place as some girl’s all natural skin care routine today
I love the music; it sets the perfect atmosphere for the video. I most enjoy this style of medieval music with a cup of mulled wine on long winter evenings. It is relaxing, and transports me worlds (and centuries) away. It may sound strange to modern ears, but that just goes to show how much western musical tastes have changed over time. I find that quite fascinating!
IG 14tes Jahrhundert i even had a good friend to make me a wooden container for it, he is a very skilled wood artist, and my hair powder container is beautiful
My morning routine is to roll off of wherever I've been sleeping and light a cigarette while the coffee robot does its thing. Then I check my email, scan the news to find out what horrible things have been happening and why I should be angry today, then try to find clothes in that sweet spot between "broken in" and "noticeable odor." Then, since I work from home, it's off to the couch for five hours of Minecraft. Progress.
wow, the first thing I do when I wake up is wash my face and brush my teeth. I usually bathe before sleeping so I don't have to bathe when I wake up unless I feel sweaty
They were afraid if water. They felt that submering in water or getting wet would allow bad humours? or something to enter the body through pores. They actually were smart since lots of water was contaminated.
You're mixing up Renaissance and Middle Ages. They stopped bathing during the Renaissance. There is a very good book about that. It's from Georges Vigarello "Le propre et le sale" translated to "Concepts of Cleanliness: Changing Attitudes in France since the Middle Ages"
I'm not entirely sure why I just assumed that makeup and care just up and started in the 1900s. I always thought that because maquillage itself was considered awful, actual facial care (creams, exfoliation, plucking) was also something that only came about in the Regency period, and that everyone upto then went entirely au naturel! Thank you, this is very informative! 💖
BEAUTIFUL! THANK YOU so much fo this! A lot of research was done in the preparation. A a history buff it is fascinating to get such a private glimpse. Please ignore the rude comments. More, please!🌹
@sillycliff512 wanna not be a prick? Ok they crying but like damn don't say shit like that, you don't even know the situation. So go back to your couch you damn vegetable and have a good day
How nice to have someone to tend to you, very relaxing to watch this. Also, I've read that women used lampblack and a tiny brush to apply it as eyeliner and eyebrow makeup...
we do unfortunately not have any records of eyeliner, masquara or eyebrowmakeup in the sources. I guess they were not that far at that time. but lampblack is not a bad pigment for very dark black colours.
Close to whrre I live thrre is an old ruined tower house- once MASSIVE- now just the gate keep remains. It was built in the 12thc and its fascinating to think that one woman - at least- would have dressed in something similar to this. Its a terrible shame to have let all that ancient architecture just disintegrate.
I know that most people assume that people in the Medieval Period didn't bathe, but they didn't bathe the way modern people do. Water was often polluted and not safe to wash with or drink.
fun fact, the richer you were, the more buttons you would wear. that would show that a) you can afford to let someone work on a fashionable garment for a long time for very little practical turnout and that b) you have somebody to help you and the time to spend on get dressed and close all those buttons and c) can spend a lot of money on materials.
They did this everyday and I would say they need maybe 25 minutes. She washes her face, getting clothes on, jewelry and today? You guys need 25 minutes just just for a shower..
we unfortunately do not know in detail. we have textual sources from the time that mention "menstrual rags" but give no details as to how they were used.
Only one layer excluding the chemise? Correct me if I'm wrong but women wore multiple layers, chemise, usually a linen dress, and the wool dress on top.
actually, you could add further layers. it would usually be a linnen underdress and a woolen dress for within the house, an woolen or silken overdress would be added when leaving the house. and if warmths is needed, a cloak or another overdress would be added.
A very long and complicated ritual, which still occurs today in many households. It is relaxing to give oneself said proper "Me Time" every day chEErs, 93
Yeah, I guess that's just how the internet is, but I still don't like it when people are so rude to each other. Especially when they have no right or reason to be.
i mean, modern women still pull shirts or dresses over our heads after putting makeup on, it's not hard to keep it off your face. i also noted there was no lacing shown on the kirtle, which it definitely should have had. being laced in was what provided bust support, most kirtles laced in the back or sides.
And laced kirtles came into fashion in the 10th century or earlier, so this kirtle, especially for a wealthy woman, would have laces. either way, especially with the dress being "fitted" to the waist, it should go on over the head.
for sure! i mean, even in the video, you can see she's very carefully having to hold the chemise down and she really needs the maid's help with it. but it would have been easier and faster to pull that over her head, requiring less help, especially if she were pregnant (which let's be real, she usually was).
no, this kirtle needs no laces and sources of the time do also not show laces most of the time, only in some exceptional cases. there were lace bindings instead of the buttons in the front sometimes, but the buttons do the job here to facilitate getting in when it is unbuttoned and it is then closed with the buttons. you could also pull it over the head but we did not want to ruin the makeup and hair.
This was really interesting! I like that it was filmed as if we were actually in the medival times with them. I wish I could find similar videos about other cultures as well.
The music is incredibly beautiful. I wish someone would tell me more about it. "Trio medieval" doesn't tell us much. Cheers from Burlington ON Canada. September 22, 2018.

Sis, we gotta stop meeting like this. It's freaking me out.
This is a morning routine for those who were wealthy .
In most periods of history, it was the elite who established fashions and the commoners who tried to imitate them, as far as their means afforded.
Exactly. Now let's get out there and feed the hogs! LOL
Roslynd Fuller Duh.
For much of history it is hard to know what everyday life for commoners was like because no one wrote about them, and they couldn’t write for themselves. History was written for social elites
Morning routines quite in this sense, didn't exist for commoners.

Claire yes it’s so funny how rose water is still like the top toner ingredient to this day lol

I agree that she does look pretty mad. Did you get a load of the dagger she had? Maybe her husband was cheating on her, and she was planning to give him a big what for with it. lol
I agree, she does!
Fascinating and beautifully made. Something tells me this girl didn’t have to spend her day clearing horse manure though ! 😅
Indeed not. She was a Lady's Maid -- a very high status servant, who would have lorded it over all other household servants, and probably would not have deigned to even speak to a yard-worker.
Sinnergism I agree.
Sinnergism wait.. so the one getting dressed is a maid too? Maids were ranked back in those days?
Martina Hedlund I guess so, that’s why I asked the question.
@@martinahedlund7919 If someone doesn't understand something, we politely inform. We do not mock. Sevenelleven Slurpie, yes, everything had a ranking system during this time. It was ranked by class and wealth. :)
Good lord. Here I was, patting myself on the back for even rolling out of bed this morning.

Do you know that Jesus loves you and has a GOOD plan for your life, and a purpose?

What do you think the maids morning routine is like
Delaney McConnell she probably puts everything on herself, minus the makeup and exfoliating, and THEN goes to dress the noblewoman.
Goes and waits in line with the rest of the servants to shit in a hole. Then doesn't wash her hands and goes to help her lady...
Actually ladies in waiting were noble women themselves and the women they waited on were of a higher status.Young girls of high or noble status were usually sent away to serve a higher ranking noble or an older no in exchange for being taught etiquette, dancing, singing, how to be graceful, conduct, and other things at the time that would make you marriagable material and a proper woman of your station. They weren't peasants hence why the lady in waiting is dressed in a similar manner. If she was a peasant or a maid she would not have worn a fine blue dress or a circlet or expensive leather. Her manner of dress would have been very plain and without much color and would have been shapeless with a apron more or less.
This wasn't a lady in waiting situation.... This was a servant and a merchant class lady, I would assume. Not elaborate or luxe enough to be a royal or even noble lady.
Coughing up blood, crouching poops, rebuffing affections of men twice her age. Same old same old.

Die kleinen Details, wie die Nelken in den Haaren, das Deo, die Strumpfhalter, die Kosmetik... zeigen, wie sorfältig dieses Video recherchiert wurde. Super gemacht, und ausgesprochen interessant!
Funny how people write in the comments that it took a long time to get ready, but this video is less than 10 mins long... Like, that is short!
Just take a gander at random folks the next time you take a trip to the local market... Take a good look... You see, there is actually a reason that so many are lamenting on the length of time the lady in the video invested in getting herself presentable. We currently live in a society that deems it acceptable to go about our errands in pajamas, for heaven's sake! Hair rollers left in the hair, pajamas, garments with visible holes and/or stains, uncombed hair, bedroom slippers, etc.... All are apparently deemed to be perfectly acceptable public attire by today's standards!
They cut it down a lot tho it prob took a few hours to film
I'm sure it's an abridged version of how long it actually took
Timothy so what 20 minutes is still short I’m being generous too because there weren’t many skips here
Kat M No, not really. I’m a historical re-enactor, and they’ve actually slowed down the dressing process to make this video.
When it comes to 14th century dress, it only takes me about ten minutes to apply the makeup, do my hair into the ‘leia buns’, and get dressed in a surcoat, overgown, and kirtle- and that’s all without extra help from another person.
This is wonderful. Thank you so much for making it, it's amazing that now in the 21st century we can still relate to the make-up and skin care routines of women 700 years ago. It gives such a feeling of kinship to those who went before us.

Well I kind of was just kidding and comparing herself to myself - who does have to get off to work. But although she was the lady of the manor, she did have daily responsibilities. She didn't just sit around all day

Notably missing was brushing the teeth!!
V Frances They didn't need to as much back then because they ate wayyyyyy less sugar.
And the bathing too!
Lol true
NotABlatantly ReligiousUsername To an extent, yeah, but people lost teeth more often than they do today. Wisdom teeth used to replace teeth that had been lost by that point.
They ate a lot of bread, the rich people white bread. There is a lot of sugar in it. It destroys the teeth the same.
Very cool. Realistically, she would have probably had no eyebrows and her hairline would have been plucked back (large foreheads were considered very beautiful). Would probably look very strange to us... and I'm sure the models weren't willing to go that far, ha.
Karen K hello, please correct me if I'm wrong...but was the moderate to light make up application popular in England before Elizabethan Era? I've read somewhere that she used to take her face with lead and rouge and lip tint to hide her scars she had sreceived when she had a bout of small pox. Or pre- Marie Antoinette in Europe?
Hi! Yes, based on what I know, I think this was pretty much how makeup was done until Elizabeth decided that she and her entire court should look like Pinhead from Hellraiser, LOL. And French makeup in the Marie Antoinette era was also heavy and very garish (talking about nobility, not average or lower class people, who probably didn't wear too much makeup in ANY era before the 1920s).
My understanding is that the plucked forehead/no eyebrows thing was popular in both centuries, especially in France.
No, that didn't start until the Elizabethan era.
The makeup certainly wasn't "garish". The paintings of nobles throughout Europe of the 18th century are shown with flattering makeup and only old women are described in literature as wearing too much. And the trends may have been set in France but the nobility and elite in all of Europe as well as colonies imitated it. However, plucking the hairline was popular into the early to mid 18th century (though not at the same extent) Marie Antoinette's own governess ended up extending Marie's hairline with tight hair styles. And Elizabeth certainly didn't start the heavy makeup, she was just well known for it. And keep in mind that the Mona Lisa was painted 30 odd years before Elizabeth was even born and it still shows plucked hair.
If I can afford to have a girl to dress me, I’ll have her do the eyebrow tweezing, too.
Kidding aside, lovely video.
Actually, you're right. The Maid/Lady-in-waiting would have done the tweezing and the make-up, possibly the bathing too -- that was her job.
I’d be afraid to let anyone in the castle/ fortress touch me, hygiene for the lower class wasn’t so good. Water was dangerous to use or drink, and most people didn’t have the money to bath.
That people never bathed is a myth that has been spread in historism at the beginning of the 20th century. Yes, in the 17th -19th century, that was the case for most big cities, that had mostly to do with a wrong understanding of medicine and the spread of several diseases like the plague, tuberculosis, cholera etc. that caused a lot of insecurity and fear in people.
But in medieval times, people were in fact very aware of their daily hygiene. They would wash themselves daily with a washbowl and washcloth and some lye or soap and then went to the bathhouses for a proper bath 1-2 times a week, more if it was a person of status that had their own bathtubs at home. Also washing and changing clothing regularly was a common practice and we know from moral writers of the time that body odor and dirty clothing was frowned upon by society.
That was very interesting. I had no idea they used deodorant in the 14th century! I wouldn’t like to trust bilberry leaves in the heatwave we’re currently experiencing in the UK!
The need for deodorant wasn't the same, a big factor that plays into this is that clothes were made from all natural fibers allowing the skin to breathe, and wicking away moisture, thus not creating closed damp spaces, in which bacteria can grow and cause body odor, the same way modern clothes does. I do viking age reenactment myself and don't usually use any deodorant when doing so as it's not necessary like normal so long as I clean myself before getting dressed.
Depending on the woman's status, she wouldn't move around as much as we do these days. So their need for deodorant was different than ours. Of course, i can't say the same about the men - i think they've always been more active.
Plus i think their walls would keep the rooms cool enough in summer ... and probably quite freezing in winter too.
Sheila S, I believe their sense of smell wasn't so offended with faul odours as our is nowadays. For instance, the Palace of Versailles had no toilettes for the court or visitors, so people urinated or defecated behind curtains, on the stairs, etc. It smelled worse than a toilet in a gas station...So, the smell of nasty harmpit was nothing to them.
Also, people didn't shave their armpits, which freaks out your skin (making you produce certain things more) and prevents your sweat having anywhere to go, both of which cause you to smell much worse. Between that, natural fibers, and staying indoors, it wouldn't have been nearly as much a problem.
It was also quite a bit colder back then, so people didnt sweat /as/ much
Why are the maids always more beautiful than their superiors (princesses and queens) 😂
younger
Inbreeding.
My thoughts exactly ! I'll marry that maid every day !
Ladies in waiting were usually also nobility, hence why they are called "Ladies." Of course I don't know the exact situation they were trying to emulate, but that young woman might have even been her own daughter. The point was to show girls what they should expect for themselves when they married and for them to be seen at court to advertise their availability as well as their elite status as part of Lady so-and-so's retinue. Of course there were still straight up servants, maids, serfs/peasants, even slaves depending on the region and specific time period, but given that the girl was wearing a metal circlet, metal brooch, and had a dress of similar style and detail (buttons, etc.), I'd wager she wasn't at the complete bottom of the social ladder. That would just be my educated guess, of course, We're talking an entire century and a broad region here. Everyone had their own way of doing things and customs varied slightly from family to family, court to court, and region to region.
Because their parents aren't screwing family members

Almost has a mesmerizing effect, doesn't it? The combination of the ongoing music, together with the quiet, unhurried cosmetic procedures, done one at a time - and especially the continuing assistance. This was a good video - made you think a little while watching - thank you for posting it!
All the people saying how long it takes. The video is under 10 minutes and even if you consider the time cuts and double it, 20 minutes isn’t exorbitant amount of time to spend getting ready from skin care to clothes.
We just not gonna talk about the knife...
What was wrong with it?
crazy808ish Nothing wrong with it per se, but you don't excactly see modern women walking around visibly armed with a decorated blade. I wanna know wtf was going down where such an "odd" item was so neccesary, it earned its own exclusive sheath and was incorperated into everyday fashion. Or perhaps i'm just spoiled by the modern luxuries of carrying a purse that more discreetly conceals my knife while also holding many other items😂
That's the thing. It's hardly an armament. Just a standard everyday tool. And carrying it around on a belt means it's easily accessible at all times. Unlike a purse, 'cause you're not exactly gonna walk around your house carrying a purse.
They would use the knives similiar to a fork/knife hybrid to eat with. Forks weren't very common at the time.
Upper class women of the manor - non nobility but fancy - did crafts and work all day that required a small knife (cutting herbs, used to cut cloth or thread for sewing projects, etc) and was also used for eating and cutting meat. Even noble women carried a small knife on them when they traveled, as a last line of defence should their knights fail them and their honor was at stake.
I like rose water . It feels wonderful sprayed on the face

Natural cosmetics.... You mean lead white face cream. Natural isn't always healthy. Lead is natural, but also caused many people lead poisoning from rubbing it on their face daily.

yes, but if you watched the whole video, you can see everything she does. and we did do everything extra slow, so let it be another 5 minutes for the parts of dressing we did not show, it would still be 15 minutes to get ready.
"A knife with an amber handle"
girl 'bouta larp or what
no, we have evidence for that, otherwise we would not have recreated it.

The knive was used as an eating utensil. Everyone carried around a small knive to eat with before forks became more common and for a woman it added a little protection.
@@queenannesrevenge1437 "...a little protection." You mean, it's like a 14th Century Condom? : )
It’s really interesting how apart from makeup being more simple(and her morning not including things like brushing her teeth and showering) very little about morning routines specifically skincare has changed. Like today we exfoliate and moisturise our skin and we still use things like rose water and honey lip balm. Obviously this wasn’t the average woman’s morning routine but it’s still cool that this wouldn’t seem out of place as some girl’s all natural skin care routine today
Majority of this class would brush their teeth. A video like this cannot show everything. It is like an outline only. It’s very good, though!

I find that quite fascinating!

My morning routine is to roll off of wherever I've been sleeping and light a cigarette while the coffee robot does its thing. Then I check my email, scan the news to find out what horrible things have been happening and why I should be angry today, then try to find clothes in that sweet spot between "broken in" and "noticeable odor." Then, since I work from home, it's off to the couch for five hours of Minecraft.
Progress.
Legit.
LOL
I know a lot of people with this same routine. Minus the mincraft part. Haha
for me, minus the smoking part... instead my bible passage of the day ;O)
wow, the first thing I do when I wake up is wash my face and brush my teeth. I usually bathe before sleeping so I don't have to bathe when I wake up unless I feel sweaty

Props to the cameraman for risking treason to film this historic moment back then. He a real one.
It's amusing to me that they didn't take showers daily, but did makeup !!!
Some people are actually attracted by the bodily smells. ;)
They were afraid if water. They felt that submering in water or getting wet would allow bad humours? or something to enter the body through pores. They actually were smart since lots of water was contaminated.
commoners bathed like that but nobility didnt... they still bathed in their own tubs every so often but it wasnt very often.
And when they came to asia, they weirded out by how they bath 3 times a day and writes from top to bottom.
You're mixing up Renaissance and Middle Ages. They stopped bathing during the Renaissance. There is a very good book about that. It's from Georges Vigarello "Le propre et le sale" translated to "Concepts of Cleanliness: Changing Attitudes in France since the Middle Ages"
Legend has it that she's still getting ready
5 gallons of rose water later 😂
I'm not entirely sure why I just assumed that makeup and care just up and started in the 1900s.
I always thought that because maquillage itself was considered awful, actual facial care (creams, exfoliation, plucking) was also something that only came about in the Regency period, and that everyone upto then went entirely au naturel!

How nice to have someone to tend to you, very relaxing to watch this. Also, I've read that women used lampblack and a tiny brush to apply it as eyeliner and eyebrow makeup...
we do unfortunately not have any records of eyeliner, masquara or eyebrowmakeup in the sources. I guess they were not that far at that time. but lampblack is not a bad pigment for very dark black colours.
*My morning routine! You won’t believe what I use!*
Close to whrre I live thrre is an old ruined tower house- once MASSIVE- now just the gate keep remains. It was built in the 12thc and its fascinating to think that one woman - at least- would have dressed in something similar to this.

Yeah but hope it's after 1352 because like I doubt you want to catch the plague.
I wonder how well that deodorant worked...and for how long...
not very well and not very long, but the natural fibres will help prevent body odor as well.
I wear lavender oil as deodorant, it works well for me.
I would think fairly well. Alcohol in wine would kill bacteria on skin that cause BO.
I know that most people assume that people in the Medieval Period didn't bathe, but they didn't bathe the way modern people do. Water was often polluted and not safe to wash with or drink.
They're very generous with buttons back then. Now I wear a blouse, the buttons are so far spaced apart that if one pops my whole bra is exposed 😅
fun fact, the richer you were, the more buttons you would wear. that would show that a) you can afford to let someone work on a fashionable garment for a long time for very little practical turnout and that b) you have somebody to help you and the time to spend on get dressed and close all those buttons and c) can spend a lot of money on materials.
This morning routine takes the whole afternoon as well.😑
Not at all. 30 minutes at most.
They did this everyday and I would say they need maybe 25 minutes. She washes her face, getting clothes on, jewelry and today? You guys need 25 minutes just just for a shower..

we unfortunately do not know in detail. we have textual sources from the time that mention "menstrual rags" but give no details as to how they were used.
Only one layer excluding the chemise?
Correct me if I'm wrong but women wore multiple layers, chemise, usually a linen dress, and the wool dress on top.
Depends on the climate and time of year. But that dress should have been lined.
actually, you could add further layers. it would usually be a linnen underdress and a woolen dress for within the house, an woolen or silken overdress would be added when leaving the house. and if warmths is needed, a cloak or another overdress would be added.
My thoughts exactly! As a student of fashion history, I was wondering where the tunic, surcoat, and wimple were.
tunics were left behind in early medieval times and the wimple is for less fashionable women.
They had Augusts back then, too, sweetpea
A very long and complicated ritual, which still occurs today in many households.

Beautifully put together, well done!
wouldn't the kirtle be put on over the head? The fit of it of this period isn't really conducive to stepping into the dress.
My thought as well. I am wondering if she stepped into the dress to keep the make-up off of it.
i mean, modern women still pull shirts or dresses over our heads after putting makeup on, it's not hard to keep it off your face. i also noted there was no lacing shown on the kirtle, which it definitely should have had. being laced in was what provided bust support, most kirtles laced in the back or sides.
And laced kirtles came into fashion in the 10th century or earlier, so this kirtle, especially for a wealthy woman, would have laces. either way, especially with the dress being "fitted" to the waist, it should go on over the head.
for sure! i mean, even in the video, you can see she's very carefully having to hold the chemise down and she really needs the maid's help with it. but it would have been easier and faster to pull that over her head, requiring less help, especially if she were pregnant (which let's be real, she usually was).
no, this kirtle needs no laces and sources of the time do also not show laces most of the time, only in some exceptional cases. there were lace bindings instead of the buttons in the front sometimes, but the buttons do the job here to facilitate getting in when it is unbuttoned and it is then closed with the buttons.
you could also pull it over the head but we did not want to ruin the makeup and hair.
I can't imagine it taking me 9 minutes and 38 seconds to be ready for the day.
