Gen X here, born in '72. Big Marilyn fan. To me vintage is 40s/50s. Retro is 60s/70s. 80s fashion was horrendous but I'm goth so I was cool af. 😜 Anything after 2000 feels like yesterday. 😄
@@thepickledpixie9052gen z here, born in '04 but funnily enough, feel the same way as you do. I cannot wrap my head around the fact that the early 2000s were 20 years ago and that i am an adult now.
I was born in 1953, & loved seeing all the vintage makeup, hairdos, & clothes of that decade!! I always watch old movies, the actors & actresses were so glamorous & put together exquisitely, not like today. Love your videos, so interesting 💘
@@jeanneann3545 Yes, tv 📺 was black and white but they had star magazines that were in color and interviews where they talked about what they were wearing.
In a lot of these movies women well into their sixties had model figures. I grew up listening to my mother describe her beauty hacks, dying legs, pencilling on seams, ironing hair with brown paper etc. She told me that she and her sisters would each buy one element of a smart outfit so that they would take it in turns to wear the complete outfit. Helped that they were all the same size but back then post war starvation helped a lot AND the lack of sugar in their diet. They used to dye kaki army blankets to make coats and when they could get hold of a parachute they made blouses and underwear.
My grandmother had blue face cream called "happy face". It was in a cute bottle. I was born in 1957. My grandparents lived only 2 houses away. It was great having 2 options for dinner! I adored Gramma. My dad was a lot like her. He was the best man I've ever known.
Every decade has notable fashion moments, but the mid 50's is just perfection. Dior's "New Look" was and still is my absolute favorite defined shape and clothing. I wish it would come back around instead of low rise jeans... Late Victorian and Edwardian outfits are also right up there for me. 😍 Thank you for another fun video. 😉
@@Laurajaneatelier That would be fantastic! You could talk about how Avon started as The California Perfume Company too. I would love that. I'd also love to hear your thoughts on their classic perfumes. 😍
Dior New Look is absolutely stunning, that’s a fact! But my guess is most people wore basic cotton dresses instead of high fashion. So you can only compare it to today’s Dior, Valentino etc.
I remember Tame creme rinse to de-tangle after washing. There was no wet-brush invented yet. Regarding the hundred strokes of hair brushing, the beauty tip was to use a natural boar-bristle brush, which was gentle to your hair, not a nylon brush. To make your hair shiny, you would put a cut-off nylon stocking or pantyhose over the natural bristle brush and brush your hair. Aqua-Net hair spray was an essential. My grandmother used Coty Airspun face powder and it is still popular today. They don't sell it any longer, but Hazel Bishop lipstick lasted all day and was like the mood lipstick of its time. These videos bring back memories.
My life was forever changed once I started using Vaseline at night after washing my face and applying classic Olay lotion (the pink one). I have seen better results from these budget-friendly and classic products than from any high-end products!
For everyone asking, Vaseline is occlusive, meaning that if you put on a layer AFTER moisturizer, it will trap all the moisture and prevent water loss out of the skin which happens when we sleep. You wake up with extremely soft & moisturized skin. It does work I’ve done it myself, it doesn’t clog pores which many people think, however the only risk is that if you have any makeup on your skin before putting it on it will trap that makeup and cause breakouts. And if you’re prone to milia I would avoid as it can aggravate it. Hope this helps. 👍🏼
My mom is 89 and still gorgeous. I started doing her hair and her curled under short bob makes her look just like she did in college. She loves estee lauder has given her beautiful skin and her mother used ponds cold cream every night also had gorgeous skin.
I like 1950 'style!!! Red lipstick, curly hair or balloon gown, summer shoes . It's very modern style. Products still exist today. I noticed that hair was always curly, never straight why? Hi Laura 🤗🤗
Marilyn's hair was only "pillow case white" from the late fifties onwards. Prior to that it changed blonde shades regularly, particularly early in her career.
I really enjoyed this video. I was born in 1950 and so many of the fashion styles are still my favorites; cigarette pants, pencil skirts, kind of think classic Audrey Hepburn. I always have a white button down. 😂 When I was about 14 those hard rollers were still around and doing my hair was a pain. Some nights I would sleep with my head on a wooden chair to make my style last. Oh brother. Thank you for the video 😊
i do the 100 strokes a day thing, and its works really well if you oil your hair, since it distributes the oils evenly from the scalp to the ends. if you don't use a hair oil tho, it can cause tearing and split ends.
I actually just started sleeping with curlers in my hair because I am trying to stay away from heat styling due to hair fall out from an illness and some nights are easier than others 😆 I’ve used a satin pillowcase for several years and I think that helps. If my pillowcase is in the laundry and it’s bedtime, I have a satin head wrap, like a shower cap, which definitely helps keep things in place. I’d recommend at least trying this because it does so much less damage to the hair than hot tools.
I've always been curious about the quality, texture, and ease of application of the cosmetics of that era. I started using makeup when I was in middle school, so around the late 90s. And just in that time I feel like the quality of makeup and skincare has improved quite a lot. Of course, people like Marilyn Monroe could afford the very best, along with the experts to tell them what to use and how to use it.
I remember talking to a lovely old lady who was at my previous doctor's office, and she told me that she and her friends back in the 50s would dye their hair with Easter egg dye tablets! They wanted colorful hair and though it killed their hair to do it (ammonia and all) they just loved it!
I was born in the late 60s and have such great memories of going through my mom's and step ~ grandmother's vintage things especially the makeup 💄❣️ I wish I'd kept it over the years for my daughters ya know..but ya awesome memories ‼️🥰
False eyelashes were more familiar than mascara, despite the fact tube existed. So homemade mascara was also the exception. Another common mascara was basically a palette with black compact and a portable brush that you wet and use.
I enjoyed this soooo much!!! Thank you! I’ve always wondered why women back then would say I can’t go out on Friday (or whatever day of the week it was) when they were trying to avoid doing something because they were “washing their hair” that day. It must’ve been a long process. Btw, my mom and grandmother always called it crème rinse too. I didn’t know they were two different things until this video. Very interesting.
I wash my hair once a week and it always looks great but back when I was convinced to wash it daily, it was always greasy and I had dandruff so I went back to my old routine. For years I cleansed with either baby lotion of cold cream then ice water dunking, then drying off then a thick layer of moisturiser ( anything ) then after an hour I took it off with a hot cloth and again a cold splash then a lighter cream if the day or heavier at night. I use Pears soap on my body or Savon de Marseilles ( I live in France ). I have always been fanatical about my elbows, knees and heels so I took extra care with them. I was ( and still am ) complimented on my good skin. I also don't drink or smoke which helps.
I have used pond's cold cream since I was 13 years old. Plus I have used Chanel 5 since my husband bought it as a gift for me when we were first married. Plus I had really long hair and washed it every other day during winter and everyday in the summer. Never wore makeup since I am allergic and I get big blotches on my face.
they did a lot of work as well haha my grandma did loads and loads of outside work in the sun in a tropical country and still washed her hair once a week. its more about them being used to it, I guess! but wash ur hair as u see fit!
Today’s more natural look? Literally every beauty influencer (men and women alike) are using foundation, contour and lashes. Great video though. Youve really done your research here. Thank you!
Like JD with Tik Tok and Gen Z the trend is a really natural look. Barely their eyeshadow and mascara. Softly tinted lips and flushed cheeks. The emphasis is on extremely dewy skin and brushed up fluffy brows.
These days my definition of natural is people without fillers, botox etc. Make up is art... clever techniques that can alter any face without invasive procedures.
Several of these things I did as a child or teenager and I was born in 1974 lol 😆 😂 but i learned them from my mom who grew up in the 50s lol 🤣 I used curlers overnight when I wanted a real curly look (although they were soft curlers lol) and I used Noxema to wash my face and take off makeup lol I used baby powder after bathing, i laid out in the sun usiing baby oil lol 😆
Where did you find the article you are reading through most of this video? Do you have a collection of vintage magazines or did you find it online? Love this, great stuff
My great great grandma used those mini grape juice cans as hair curlers, and she said she slept with them on. I'm was thinking ouch! But its neat to know what women did in those days.
It had to be annoying to sleep like that. Hmmm probably as annoying to sleep with coconut oil in hair with a shower cap over to make sure you don't get oil all over the place ekkk the thing's we do for beauty🙈🤣☕
The second picture you used of Marilyn in cat eye glasses is actually world famous Marilyn impersonator Jimmy James ... this picture gets mistaken for Monroe all the time ❤️
When we went into stores we were dressed in the 50's. Today you see people dressed like they are going to bed or the beach or appear to wear underwear. So forget the makeup. I be happy if they dressed in decent clothes.
Hello - Actually she said two drops of Chanel No.5. One of our Miss South Africa's also stated this, but Marilyn in fact meant one under each ear. Thank you.
I grew up in Hawaii so my feet didn’t adjust to shoes and I now have what’s called luau feet. If I could water ski I wouldn’t need skies on my feet to surf the water 🤭
Although these styles/looks are very pretty and I appreciate them artistically, I totally get why a counter culture happened! It must have been SO very freeing once people finally broke out of all these rigid routines & rituals & went back to nature. Yay hippies! Lol

My mom called conditioner “cream rinse” as well. It wasn’t until high school that I started calling it conditioner. I thought it was just another word for the same thing!
i still rock that vintage makeup. white shimmery eyeshadow, with a winged liner like marilyn's and audrey's, and red lipstick. those are my go-tos (and mascara for daily at school lol) edit to add: also, nails match my lipstick, and i have tons of face powder lmfao. marilyn is my inspiration, but audrey is my gal. we have similar face features and bodyshapes, also dark hair and bangs

A cold water hair rinse works nicely too

She had a hairstylists who redid her dye job every 2 days, apparently
I've always washed my face with Dove soap and moisturized with Nivea creme at night. I always wear spf during the day and I look great for my age.

I remember we used Prell shampoo and I didn’t have to wash my hair often. It stayed clean for days with that shampoo.
I still use Prell. I learned this from my grandmother. Be careful though, it will strip out any dye
Thank you for this! We used it and I remember the smell!
Hairdressers used it to strip out color that was too dark/heavy. It was detergent like dish washing detergent.
I love it when you do these videos. Will the 1940's be next? I'd love that!
Thank you! Yes I will do every decade!
