Miss Bennett shares with us her basic daily skincare and makeup ritual. Conveniently she appears to have woken up with lip rouge already applied!
A Hollywood actress - at least in those days was expected to look attractive, no matter when she was in public. Knowing how to be beautiful - every day, was of tantamount importance.
Many Hollywood studios had attending makeup artists, some as famous as Max Factor. The Westmore Brothers were a family business devoted to the art of Hollywood makeup .A lot of effort was put in to teaching the studio's starlets how to look beautiful. From the moment they stepped out of their front door.

The Film Restoration Process
I took early fragments of silent 16fps footage and restored it to life by a combination of manual frame by frame color grading as well as some use of deep exemplar-based video colorization techniques. The footage was upscaled and the frames interpolated to a higher frame rate ( in this case 60 frames per second.) Finally the soundtrack audio was separated , cleaned and a new backing track added.
Produced by Howard C. Brown and Curtis F. Nagel, for the Educational Films Corporation of America. Location - Hal Roach Studios, best known for the works of Laurel & Hardy.

[@LSSYLondon]

Thank you so much! Constance Bennett has been a favourite actress of mine for years thanks to Topper and Sin Takes a Holiday. I always loved this way of selling her products and it's amazing to see it in such clarity! So much detail is now viewable in the background too. What a wonderful video to share!

[@coffee-xg6my]

Sounds like you added the music. Probably could have left that out or at least turned it down.. It was distracting!

[@streetofdreams4538]

@@coffee-xg6my I was going to say the same: great job with the video restoration, but not the best choice of music. Either a 1930s-appropriate soundtrack or nothing would have been better. I understand the music is meant to create a relaxing morning mood, but for anyone who knows this era, it's very jarring paired with this video! 🤯I do, however, appreciate all the effort that went into this.

My thoughts exactly. She acts like the maid serving her is a chore.

[@lightblueseaglass]

Funny thing is, by the early 1900’s after WW1, most people that could afford servants grew so close with those people, they regarded them as more than servants; many saw them as confidants, friends, and oftentimes even family.

“She’s like an alaaaahhm clock”

She cleans her face with a cleansing cream, but left all her eye makeup and lipstick on. No, wait a second, she’s not wearing any makeup when she woke up. She’s meant to be born with all those colours in her face 😽❤️

[@martina_laray]

Side note - My great aunt once told me that it was common for women to sleep in their makeup. She said many women did not even let their husbands see their natural face. They would wake up before their husbands to take a bath and redo their makeup before they woke up. Different times I suppose.

[@angiejones968]

My grandma was a young mother in the 1930’s. My mom was born I 1933. Sadly my grandma died many years before I was born. I like watching videos from her time. It’s like I’m getting to know her.

[@valfletcher9285]

Glow Base is what we call "primer" The more things change the more they stay the same! Love this! Thanks so much!

[@LaciRae]

primer wasn’t introduced until approx 10 years ago. this was probably just moisturizer. petroleum jelly or tallow is also possible.

[@Sarah.Riedel]

Modern primer is usually made from silicone-based polymers so it's unlikely they had this back in the 1930s. Given the name, it's likely this "Glow Base" was just rebranded Vaseline...they were huge fans of petroleum jelly back then and marketed it for everything from automotive lube to laxatives.

[@pinkpineapple9663]

I agree with you. While primers today we're not used back then because of different ingredients, she said in the video she uses Glow Base to give the skin a nice luminous look while also helping to keep makeup intact. Which is basically what we use primer for today.. So I got you!

[@valfletcher9285]

@@pinkpineapple9663 It is a great IDEA! They had the idea a long time ago and maybe in the future there will be something superior to the primer we hae today

[@mook_butt8037]

Love the restoration in this--not only in color but also in 60 fps. It looks like something more recent, like the 1950s or 60s than in the 30s.

[@SC-or3cv]

And remember to be beautiful and natural is the birthright of everyone!!! ❤

[@nonenone6357]

Finally someone got the message

[@michellejacobsen331]

I think of this in context of those 1940s-50s videos of the teenage girls being taught about beauty at school: it was less about having explicitly good looks and more about having self-respect & the attendant effort of good grooming. It's like if you respect and take care of yourself the rest will fall into place naturally. I wish more people, women AND men, took this message to heart. It's kind of depressing to go out and see so many people who clearly do not give a fig about their appearance.

[@nonenone6357]

@@michellejacobsen331 I agree with you but.. I think it has only been recently that people think looking good in the sense of esthetics is a shallow thing. Never in the human history people thought that. Thats why people dressed nice going to church, or thats why churches was beautiful. Its very hard to separate the spiritual from esthetics. I see many people that fight to live in very beautiful houses but think its shallow to wear beautiful clothes.

[@Mouse01011]

Constance Bennett is largely forgotten today, but in her day she was kind of like Geena Davis. She'd live another 27 years, and made a fortune out of cosmetics.

[@endangeredarchitecture]

I don't think Geena Davis is an apt comparison. While I like Geena a lot, Constance was the highest paid actress of her day, and one of the most glamorous women of her era, yet her career faded quickly. She was a lot like Demi Moore.
