As someone with a degree in history (focusing on social and cultural history), I can't get enough of these kinds of videos! I love learning about how people lived, and what they used in their daily lives. Thank you for making such awesome content!
Have you read A History of Private Life? I think you can only find these volumes used now, but it is a wonderful (five-volume) compilation of how people lived their day-to-day lives, from the classical period to WWI, and it focuses on things like the architecture of the home (think whether an era had bedrooms for couples or not), hairstyles and cosmetics, fashion, etc.
The 'rouge' (as they called it then) that my dear mother used, she used to buy from Woolworths.. it was in a little black and white round cardboard box ... by Bourjois. It had a tiny little puff inside it. I remember that so vividly... ❤
I remember my husband enjoying so much your series about make up history 🤩. I love the fact that with you it’s not only about products but the interesting facts and history behind them. It’s so good to learn something new. Thank you Lisa ⭐️
I could watch you making ye old make up all day long! I love your collection of historic make up and how respectfully you treat them. They are all a part of our history and watching you show us how they were used is just the most satisfying thing ever! I studied Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Sciences at uni and still have some old 'recipes!' This video is my heart. And I love how you use your knowledge and expertise to bring the absolute best products from your own range! Love love love this video, thank you for sharing, Lisa and bringing us into your wonderful world! 💕🩷💕
So true, I've been improving in my makeup lately, still simple but wanting that refined look in the works of classic professionals like Lisa. I keep looking at before and after pics of how I used to do my makeup because they seem so similar but one is clearly better... It's the blush and bronzer, the stuff that removes that flattened boring effect from just using foundation and powder. Two subtle products and everything changes!
😊hi Lisa, that was so much fun, you had a bit of a giddy mad scientist vibe. The last look was my favorite.So pretty. Loved this ! would love to see more beautiful historical content and paintings.
The older I get the more I find this is true. In my teens I would have said that concealer and eyeliner would be my must applies before leaving the house and many decades later it is blush and mascara.
The first Lisa video I watched was on Makeup History. This remains my favorite type of content! So informative, watching how the techniques and formulas develop is fascinating!
I admire your confidence in applying anything to your face with no fear of the possible consequences this is so fascinating I hope it would be a continued series
Being in Canada I was having hard time watching your BBC series! But one day during my fashion week flights, miracle happened and this original episode was shown!! Wish I could see more, so yes please Lisa, more!!! Xoxo
Your enthusiasm and love of makeup, its history and its evolution is what I feel every time I watch you. Whether it's a history lesson, or a makeup tutorial, even your product launches. I never imagined I would enjoy learning about cleansers. Your product launch for your cleanser was so inspiring, I remember telling my partner about the plants around the Roman baths, you do that, you bring your love of the subject into everything you do and I'm inspired... So yes, more please ❤
I loved this series, and watched it multiple times. This video is a fascinating way to view the development of a specific product through the eras. Yes, more please. If I could add one thing, it would be to include the development of your own products at the end. This could highlight inspirations, developments, and pitfalls. Thank you for the content!
LISA, I absolutely loved this video. I love everything about makeup and skincare. I also love HISTORY about EVERYTHING. I hope you will do more videos like this and more videos more often. Maybe once a week. That would be so AWESOME. Love watching you do makeup and all the techniques you show. PLEASE DO MORE. THANKS SO MUCH :-) YOU ARE AWESOME 🙂
This was very informative and I got to learn about the history of blush and the different ways it’s used and made .could you do a video on eyeshadow and eyeliner history ❤ wishing you lots of love and happiness ❤
I can’t believe TH-cam didn’t tell me when this video dropped! I have notifications on (one of only 2 I have that set for! Rajiv Surendra’s channel is the second for any curious readers looking for another “authentic” channel among the masses). And I’ve watched all these interesting “history” ones. I think it’s a TH-cam glitch! Please don’t stop making these types of videos just because the view count for this video looks lower - so many of us LOVE these!
I would love to see more of those very interesting and educational videos! I would personally be interested in ancient Egypt or, to be more precise, Cleopatra and her approach to make-up (but also what this time period thought of enhancing beauty).
Yes, more please! It's so enlightening to learn about these processes, it's a window into the lives of the people back then, and brings us more respect for their ingenuity. I remember my mom saying how she had to make her own blush and lipstick as a young mom of several toddlers in the 50s, (my older siblings)-- she had to use what was on hand and scrape every drop from her old store bought items.
I loved this series! So thoughtfully and beautifully executed. It's always a pleasure to see you in historian-mode. As an art historian myself, I've always wondered what Madame de Pompadour had on her little pink brush in the portrait by François Boucher!
Wonderful! I always notice the blush in period movies and 18th and 19th century paintings. I love that you picked this project. Your first video I watched was the Biba looks with Actual Biba Makeup.. pure heaven!! I’ve been hooked ever since. Yes please, more!
YES to more content regarding historical make up looks, formulas and ideology! It's fascinating, and as a successful contemporary make up artist, your approach this is unique.
I feel like blush waited a long time to have its moment in the spotlight. It’s incredible the difference blush makes and how many ways there are to apply it! I have powders and cremes and hybrids…your blush in Pink Soap is magic, I swear it makes me look ten years younger.
My husband is a rocket scientist (literally), and he is rarely impressed by anything. As a history buff, he loved your makeup up book, as did I. This is a wonderful idea, the historical context is most interesting. I love when your eyes light up applying the blush, pure delight,
I am perfecting my concealer as we speak 😘 I will keep everyone updated on the return of my blushes which have been delayed due to production delays ❤️
Love it! I cannot wait for your next book. Right now, I would love a new tutorial. Something editorial! I recently watched Thomas Crown Affair and Shane Paish's work on Rene Russo. I so love these looks - minimal mascara, a tasteful hand....I am so inspired by watching this movie again.
I could watch this all day long 💖 seeing how women used to apply makeup makes me feel connected to them whenever I apply my own makeup and it also gives me lots of inspiration 😍
I found myself mesmerized by this video...the techniques & sources of color. It's interesting the difference in color selection from earlier on. Now we have so many, too many, to choose from lol..and yet the ones you showed here look so much more natural on the skin. Thank You for sharing, Lisa.🌸
I’m not trying to lay it on thick, but the documentary had a huge impact on me! It was my introduction to you, as a MUA and a brand. It also reignited my interest in makeup! Since becoming a mother, my makeup routine had gone almost nonexistent, which is fine in a way, but I always really enjoyed the process of putting on my makeup for the day. I’d fallen into a rut, saving ‘special’ makeup for ‘special occasions’, and for most of 2020 there were no occasions, much less special occasions! I’m also a history buff so the documentary was right up my alley. I have been meaning to rewatch it, but in the meantime would love to revisit it through clips on here! Thanks Lisa! ❤
Please please please do more of these type of videos Lisa. It’s obvious you have such a passion for the history of makeup and I really enjoy that too. Maybe something on the history of foundation and the trend of being very pale to show you were a lady of leisure and didn’t have to work outdoors to the trend of being very tanned to show how wealthy you were in going to far flung hot countries for vacation. Also the trend in sunbeds to the faux pas of that now. Also the huge movement in sunscreens which was practically unheard of in my youth in the 80’s. Thanks Lisa 😊❤😊
These are so interesting; I love the historical videos. I have a blush in an art deco gold metal and black enamel compact. My daughter bought it for me at an estate sale consignment store, along with a powder compact intended to hold loose powder. It has a sort of presser. Anyway, the blush is a perfect medium neutral pink and came with a square flat applicator like the one that was shown as a sample in this video. What was interesting to me is that this applicator works quite well in smoothing on the blush. We’re so used to brushes, but it’s fun to play with other types of applicators.
I very much love the history of how regular people lived, by doing things like makeup, so I'm all for more of this kind of video, please! I think historical makeup looks might be how I found your channel, years ago. I really need to track down your documentary!
HI Lisa!!!! My name is Gord. I'm in Toronto. I absolutely love your content! You have inspired me and educated me on beautiful techniques and outstanding education! This was a FANTASTIC episode. I drank up every minute of learning and fascination. I would love to see more of this! Thank you for your content and beautiful energy. 💖 from Gord!!
I love your videos on the history of makeup! All of it: the looks, the formulations and science behind them, as well as the social history. And I, too, can't wait until your blushes come back!
i remember the story of art by sister wendy fondly. this reminds me of the joy and wonder of that, in Ms. Eldridge’s inimitable style. we need this series and expanded volumes of the book for posterity!
This was a blast! More please … and thank you! 🥰
😍😍😍
I'd ❤ to see Lisa Eldridge and Erin Parsons together talking and showing historical makeup 😍
As someone with a degree in history (focusing on social and cultural history), I can't get enough of these kinds of videos! I love learning about how people lived, and what they used in their daily lives. Thank you for making such awesome content!

I’ve always loved Lisa’s videos but mostly the history of makeup videos!! Please more of these and maybe an updated collection of vintage makeup!!
The more I age, the more I ❤ blush, its really transformative & youthful ...thank you for sharing 3 eras 🥰
The editing and all the bells and whistles in this video blows me away. Whoever does it is great at it.
Thank you so much, so happy you enjoyed it 🥰 the clips are from my BBC documentary xx

Blush is my favorite makeup item. And, yes, please, give us more of this kind of content.
The history of makeup is sooo great. More of this, please
❤❤❤
This could be a tv show on the History Channel! The production and quality is incredible, and it's so fascinating to hear about all the history.
This was very informative and I got to learn about the history of blush and the different ways it’s used and made .could you do a video on eyeshadow and eyeliner history ❤ wishing you lots of love and happiness ❤
That's a great idea, thank you so much xx
