Yes please 🍦

[@JamesFluker]

What's interesting is that when you put it in black and white, the look suddenly looked very soft and very effective. Given that most photography was still black and white at that point, and films were still in black and white - it definitely feels like the makeup was designed to be effective for photography and motion pictures.

[@RookieAssassin]

Yeah kinda like how theater makeup is very exagerrated cause you see the actors from afar

[@rondirainibennain5269]

Thats actually what it was for

[@Ghostykins]

This was definitely not everyday women's makeup, it was for theater and to show their features on screen. All the images of movie stars are not what most of our great, great grandparents would have worn.

[@CatrionaCharles]

That's what it was for. It was found that facial features didn't really show up on film so they developed this exaggerated technique with bold colours and lines which was the only way they'd show up on camera. In an everyday setting women wouldn't wear makeup like this.

[@Briardie]

You won't see this but hey! My grandma would be in her early twenties in the 1920s and your make up is exactly how I remember her in the 1960s when I was a child. Alas in the 1960s she looked crazy. Yet this was the make up of her youth. Thank you for this.

That grayscale literally gives 20's diva! You lose it in color, but the depth you get when you hit your grayscale filter is just everything! Sorry I'm 2 years late, I just found you and I'm obsessed!

[@Ravenovia]

I think the most telling thing about this look is how it is in black-and-white. Rather than looking as vivid, it looks more like natural shadows, and is even quite subtle (except for the lips, brows, and lashes, but those were probably considered the most important when it came to film due to how expressive they are). Even the bright red rouge looks like a natural contour in black and white!

[@XoXoG]

Actually, the women would wear red blush under the eyes and all over their cheeks to hide evidence from domestic abuse

[@zoommiesbay]

​@G U that was one of the reasons yes but not every women was abused and it wasnt what caused the trend to pop up

[@Inannarising]

[@obamaobama7965]

Actually in black and white they used weird colors, they never used red in makeup for film unless it's a dark film because it was seen as too dark for normal movies

[@Luna_kuna08]

@@XoXoG oh

[@tinejans6826]

From what I've heard, the over the top colors or sometimes heavy, dark make-up also had to do with film. Movies, photographs,... were all in black and white. And a lot of make up, especially lighter colors, simply doesn't show in black and white. So in order to see it on film, they had to use pretty heavy, bold make up.

[@Sony-u8p]

I did notice that when she switched to black and white. The bold makeup actually contured the face.

My great grandma was a flapper girl. I remember as a young girl (in the 1980s) and teenager (1990s) I could sit and listen to her talk about the 20s, 30s & 40s all day long. We would sit and look at photos of her from those time periods, literally one of the few happy childhood memories. My favorite story was her "love at first sight" story of meeting my great grandpa, they both fell in love at first sight, it was a beautiful love story! I'd love a decades series, especially if you'd do a Lucille Ball inspired look for the 40s or 50s. I also love Erin's collection, the packaging for vintage makeup fascinates me.

[@enlosluceros7236]

Make-up wasn't like that, that's just an artistic drawing. Regular make-up in the 20's was intended to be VERY natural and you wouldn't use any type of eyeliner. Only movie stars would accentuate their eyes like that and it was only for the cameras to get their features, so it was only cinema and theatre make-up. So your granny would probably wear just a bit of powder. It wasn't so difficult to get the fashionable face as it is today, it was mostly the hair that was difficult.

[@francescaplacereani5239]

Just gotta say, love the brows. I've always preferred trying to keep my brows looking as natural as possible and I think it really does suit you. If you're looking to do time piece makeup looks, maybe try Victorian era, think that would be really fun even if it will be super hard to get it 100% authentic. I'm a Classical History Major and one of the things we did look at was the beauty standards of women for those days and some of it looks really fun and interesting. Anyway, love the look and effort you put into this, very cool.

I actually went to a 20's party once and although my brows where too bushy for this, it looked really fun! I didn't know about the blush back then, so I really want to try that :)

It’s so weird how well this look works. I had no idea the colours were so vibrant. Actually, the pale base with the boldness of the rouge reminds me of makeup worn in Chinese opera, which I also like the look of.

[@violet183]

I love this so much! I've always loved the bizarre eyes and eyebrows of the 1920s, it's so cool to see it brought to life! Fun fact: cameras during this time couldn't really pick up red, so movie actresses would have to wear almost black makeup to have it show up. That is why makeup in many photographs looks so dramatic compared to in illustrations.

[@Little-Dude]

I'd love to see a "modern" version of this! Following the same guidelines but using modern products and tweaking things a little here and there.

[@kyleisahufflepuff1663]

I was worried about the blush at first, but with the whole look together, I feel like the 20’s should make a comeback in makeup trends, albeit with more freedom from the tutorials of the day.

[@BoraNabiCeleste]

I could never with the whole look, I honestly don't wear that much makeup to begin with, but ngl I'm kinda living for the lip shape. That beestung shape is probably the best thing to come from that time period makeup wise.

[@majorzipf8947]

So excited for this series. I want the whole gambit!!! And I’d also love to see a re-do with you taking what you liked and making a more modern version of each look. Super fun watching the transformation to the antiek version of Nikki. And learning all the cool historical facts from Erin. Much love.

[@0802alexander]

It's actually very pretty and I'd love to see a modern take on this. The lips look amazing 😍

[@krisitnahalloran6504]

I actually love this look on you. Make up should be fun above all else and this screams FUN!

[@bleu8678]

This series idea is genius! I love seeing what was considered "beautiful" throughout the century.

[@lisanne5225]

As someone born in 2002 I’d love to see the 70’s / 80’s, everything seemed so cool back then

[@alimay4342]

I LOVE the way they did their lips, it looks so beautiful

[@shawnbay2211]

Love going back to this video cause this look is beautiful. Trust the process!! When everything was on, it felt like a different time. I swear if movies emulating past eras actually followed the style, it would transport me. I still wanna see more of this.

[@cairolivingston2101]

You’re personality is everything babe! When you read the double chin part and paused :” I feel attacked👀” lol I love that you were able to find your voice and your own safe place in this industry because everything you’re standing for is needed 👏🏾

[@comi3659]

Love to see the series continue “make up through the ages” and have you do both the period make up and then a current spin on it.

[@reneemorel3728]

This was so fun. We definitely need more! The antiek look from the 1920's I'd carry over to now is definitely the lips. Very cute with the heart shape. :)

[@LoryBelle]

Antique* lol Sorry, had to. All love!

[@OllyhayOffittmay]

@@LoryBelle that’s the Dutch word of the day she said at the end. So, she’s correct. Antiek.

[@OllyhayOffittmay]

I love the heart shape too!!

[@LoryBelle]

@@OllyhayOffittmay oh! Wow, I’m sorry then, my mistake! Of course the one time I don’t finish the video all the way through I say something silly like that. Thanks for letting me know, & sorry to Renee!

[@OllyhayOffittmay]

@@LoryBelle I almost missed it too! I think it’s so cool how it is so close to antique.

[@ARBUZIK.dudkin]

I’m surprised she didn’t continue this series considering it’s requested a lot and this video is her second most viewed video in the last 2 years

[@lovelynetta4729]

You really nailed the look. And its true if you were around back then, you’ll have a long cue of guys just waiting to profess undying love for you . You are always adorable on every look. Thank you for being and staying beautiful.

[@simona1789]

I'd go back to 1920's for sure. Something about that decade just mesmerizes me. I'm totally in love with the aesthetics and would love to experience the flapper girl fantasy

[@marikafos2808]

I actually use blush like this - under the eyes. It really helps me cover dark circles. Of course the colour is much lighter and paler On the cheek apples, a little under the eyes and blending to the temples For me it works perfect

[@234simplylovely]

The makeup in full color HD looks a little crazy, but the black and white seconds you showed were GORGEOUS which makes sense for the starlets of the time

[@Livurochy]

I would LOVE a series like this! Makeup history sounds so cool and I really like how it turned out!

[@Waterlily6519]

So cool! We recently did 20s makeup at the course I'm attending to become a makeup artist. You're my biggest inspiration Nikkie. Love you so much. Much love from Norway's most devoted GlowBaby ❤️❤️🌹

[@scandisnowgirl3696]

Are you at Tonelise?

[@Waterlily6519]

@@scandisnowgirl3696 Nope. I attend the LW School of makeup.

[@mariarevenikioti8127]

I would honestly try the "antiek" lips and rouge (though less intense). Could you perhaps also present the colours to pick if you have brown/green eyes so we can learn from that? :D

[@Ciritual]

Back then they wore colours that matched their eye colours :) So green = green, blue = blue, and if you had brown eyes they used a sheer charcoal/grayish black and on rare occasions an eggplant purple could be found! Hope this helps! :)

[@marthabryant1721]

I lost my outside eyebrows as well due to Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (autoimmune thyroiditis). Loss of outside eyebrows is a classic sign of hypothyroidism. Love your enthusiasm, pretty lady.

[@RiaRaynedrops13]

I absolutely love this look on you! If i were to modernize it, I'd do a halo eye (for you with silver in the middle and a deeper blue in the crease), then put a highlight at the high points of the cheeks over the blush to give you a glow 🌟

[@bruna7534]

This combining your eyeshadow and eye color makes SO MUCH SENSE, I love it!

[@piike_the_garbage]

This looks absolutely amazing, I looove 20's makeup, it's so dramatic, heavy and artistic

[@seir323]

16:10 - "Wait. This WORKS?! AAH!" just totally got me. XD Using this for future makeup looks for sure. The difference between artificial lighting and daylight is fascinating, but this method is golden either way.

[@londrescadenas]

You should keep doing this series but doing the "then" and "now" approach of those makeup trends. I can't wait to see your 80'S Cyndi Lauper hyper colorfull make up look. I did an 80's insipired look and had so much fun.

[@reneericci1398]

I definitely agree that creams are making a comeback! I got a gorgeous light blue MAC lipstick awhile back and it's been a go-to eye color for me 💄such a cute vintage vibe, just like this look!!

[@chelseabaker3685]

Definitely make a series. It's always interesting seeing how our grandparents done there makeup.
