1940s hair and makeup tutorial

Click 'Show More' for full list of products used!
Authentic tutorial showing 1940s hair and makeup by film industry experts Louise Young (makeup artist) and Loulia Sheppard (hairstylist).
We have started this channel to show accurate period hair and makeup styles. Both of us have worked in the film and TV industry for many years and we wanted to create a channel that is useful to professionals, students and anyone wanting to recreate or be inspired by the beautiful styles of past decades.
Our book Timeless - A Century of Iconic Looks has quickly become a go-to reference for period makeup and hair and we've been asked by many to show more techniques on the looks.
We do hope you enjoy the video - please subscribe - it's free - to see future videos and we would love to hear from you with any requests for particular looks or questions! XX

This is hands down the best 1940's hair and makeup tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for sharing!

[@louiseyoungcosmetics]

Thank you! We are planning some more :) x

[@Grafikarin]

I love this video and your book! Thank you so much for your efforts! Please keep on doing videos like that. I'm a Hair & Make-Up Artist for film and rarely see such high professionality here on youtube - I can learn so much from you. It's an honour to watch the real Pros. Btw, Louise Young, lots of your brushes are a staple in my kit. XOXO from Austria

Thank you so much Karin! I really appreciate this comment xx Louise x

[@doloresmancini105]

Beautiful work ladies. ❤

[@oliviaknight1123]

Thank you for sharing your expertise with us, I feel so inspired now! May I ask what the difference is between pins and grips? You mentioned it specifically on the last hairstyle and I'm not sure which is which. I know of 2 types, 1 is flat on one side and curvy up against that, the other is more "tuning fork" v shaped, which is which please?? Please excuse my lack of knowledge and I hope your description makes sense. Many thanks in advance for your help 😊

Too bad this channel isn't updated with new videos!

[@streetofdreams4538]

That was superb! I've watched and read countless 40s tutorials by enthusiasts, but here I see the difference of sure-handed, experienced professionals! You achieved exactly the results you expected, and they're wearable for everyone. Now I want the book!

[@Taylorsquaredify]

The model in this is so beautiful. She looks like she is enjoying every minute of it. Interested in the book. Does it tell what kind of rollers you are using?

[@peacefreedomandwealth]

And that style fits her so much. Just perfectly.

[@paulamc9065]

Absolutely beautiful. Im doing a hair course and trying out these vintage styles. So classy and 'timeless'. Im just about to create an account so I can buy your book, assuming it will ship to Ireland. Thank you ladies, this is a fabulous find for me today. UPDATE! Ive just bought the book. Be here by Friday. I cant wait.

[@makeupandhairmasterclasses3898]

[@emmsue1053]

Thank you! The upswept front was called a "Victory Roll" & UK women specifically wore red lipstick because it was known Mr Hitler hated women wearing make up! All part of the War Effort!! 1939 to 1945.
