Mari Lwyd Makeup!? | Black Friday

[@lynnayamoon]

Watching from our 300+ year old haunted pub in North Wales... always a treat when you upload, and this is delightful!

[@itisblackfriday]

Awesome! Say hi to the ghosts for me 👻

[@SHADOWsombra]

Which Pub Is That Then❓🧐

[@lynnayamoon]

@ The Lletty Hotel in Flintshire

Definitely a look for christmas with the in laws.

[@itisblackfriday]

Yes!

[@juanapallareshernandez977]

In Mexico we call it “POSADAS”. It’s exactly the same process of caroling going through the neighborhood and singing and asking for lodging. Getting denied until they are accepted and food is passed to all those who are singing. And also during the Christmas season

[@FluffyWhisperCloud]

I was just about to say that! We did that in our neighborhood when I lived en el D.F.

[@TT-dx6nc]

Posadas wear day of the day makeup? i thought was only for Dia de los Muertos that’s in November

[@DemonPup13]

Thank you for the talk about how when you’re trying something new with makeup and it doesn’t turn out or go well “it’s just practice” tried something new yesterday and it apparently according to people around me “looked like you were beaten up” which rather hurt my feelings but this made feel better

[@Bunnidove]

[@creepycutie]

You’re so talented with makeup, this turned out beautifully!

[@itisblackfriday]

Thank you!

[@australiannie822]

Oh, I actually only just remembered, the Mari Lwyd legend was kind of like the first ever rap battles 😂 It'd sing to you through the door in rhyme, and you had to rhyme back through the door. This rhyming battle would continue back and forth until such a time as either you would win, or Mari Lwyd would. If you won, Mari Lwyd would leave to rhyme at someone else and you could return to enjoying your festivities. If Mari Lwyd won though, you had to let it inside and it wouldn't leave until it had eaten all of the food in the house and drunk all of your beer/ale. I have no idea what was supposed to happen if you had no food or ale, though. Perhaps in that case it just wouldn't show up at your place to begin with.

[@Dead_in__side__]

This is awesome! Thank you for representing Welsh culture!

[@TT-dx6nc]

This is actually a cultural celebration in Mexico, it’s been around for centuries, it pays respect and celebration to the love ones that had passed. Dia de Los Muertos. It’s crazy how welsh and Mexico is so similar when celebrating the dead.

[@jackiemckinney5793]

Oh my GOODNESS! That looks sooo good. I love that. How creative you are and how can you not know that? Great job girl. Thanks for sharing and letting us see. 👀 With nothing more than a brush and a damn eye pencil! Bravo!!❤

[@manuelamejia9239]

I've been following you for what feels like nearly 10 years now, and you haven't changed a bit, still looking so young and beautiful. Great content, music and great makeup as always!

[@ThePatriotPiper]

I LOVE this combination of culture! Welsh + Mexican! Christmas + Dia De Los Muertos!

[@AlfredSoul]

The white, green and red made me think of the Mexican flag and, accordingly, Catrina make-up. On a human, the sheet looks reminiscent of a nun as well, which fits with the catholicism there. Funny, serendipidous crossover in my mind.

[@tablescissors]

The special effects really worked with this!

[@lucianaromulus1408]

I LOVE European folklore, and the many spooky traditions. Thank you for keeping it alive.

[@jetta.silence6356]

Ohh I loved this. It's also called a selkie here in Newfoundland which is a heavily Irish province in Canada. It is part of our traditions at xmas as well. It goes along with mummering. You could do a creepy version of a mummer. People dress up in anything. Sheets ,wigs,old pantyhose,rubber boots are imperative ,skirts with pants anything to disguise who you are. And you don't speak just kinda mumble and nod yes or no. Knock on doors of usually those you know and someone say "nee mummers lowd in?" If yes you go in and they must be given drinks and cookies or what have you. They dance around to a few tunes and you try to guess who they are. Then they leave and onto the next house. Of course purity syrup mixed with water( kinda like kool-aid but super sweet is offered to the child mummers). It's an almost dead tradition now as people are more wary of letting people in their home they can't recognize. But in its time it looked fun.❤

[@juniperfire]

This is amazing! And lady you ARE an artist! You are so creative and constantly doing creative things. You are in fact an artist and you did a wonderful job! If you showed up at my door I would be thoroughly creeped haha

[@itisblackfriday]

Thank you kindly! x

[@YukiNamikawaChannel]

You look sooo young without any makeup. So pretty 🖤

[@itisblackfriday]

Thank you!

[@hellwltch]

posted FOUR DAYS ago?? i did NOT get this at all until i saw your facebook post just now. great video as usual! just wish youtube would keep me posted 😅🖤

[@Travis_Trauma]

I didn’t get it either, YT slipped this one under the radar.

[@fluffylovers303]

Four days ago? To me it says uploaded 8 hours ago. Seriously what is going on? I also find it odd that she never adresses it. Or does she?

[@hellwltch]

@@fluffylovers303 she has before, but not recently. it USED to be when she was in New Zealand the video would be a day behind for me which was normal due to the time zones. Recently it’s just not been showing me the videos at all and the only way i find out early is when she posts about it on instagram or facebook :((

[@jessicaredfern7867]

Mine says 11 hours. That's odd.

[@N_0968]

She puts videos up as unlisted for a while and you can only find them when she shares a link on Instagram or Facebook etc. After a few days she makes the video available for everyone.

[@porcelina956]

I'm a little Welsh as well on my mom's side I only found out a few years ago. I only learned about the Mari Lwyd last year or year before. It looks like fun I suppose wait for a horror film and it will become part of popculture.

[@ropolito1980]

I really like this look and I appreciate the education bit. I didn’t know about this welsh tradition. Cool

[@gsilveroak]

I loved it! Especially the very theatrical Neigh!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@christina2411]

YEESSSS. I'm also a wee bit Welsh. I very much appreciate this. I find these old customs SUPER interesting too. Please do more videos like this 🖤

[@XxDeathxX509]

Your channel was recommended to me by someone special more than a decade ago. All these years and you’re still going, im glad. 400k more and you’ll be at a mil! Much love to you Black Friday 🖤

[@WunniebeeXO]

This had to be one of your best make up looks. Amazing work

[@nekobat1962]

I love this look!

[@myreasonforlife.9511]

Absolutely love it. Yes I would go door knocking. 🖤

[@katbrin1]

You are so freaking GREAT at this!! You look appropriately Christmasy and scary!!!

[@originalswedies3003]

You did a FANTASTIC job with your makeup! ❤

[@jordeahgrosko]

I was cleaning out my subscription list and I found you, i remember finding your videos 10 years ago. In middle school and I think it just changed something in my blood lol happily goth, for a decade.Thank you for your inspiration. I will be coming back to your channel to watch more of the videos I missed. Thank you black friday.

[@jordeahgrosko]

Fun tip, when j make a bunch of dots with face paint i use the back round side of my brush. Never used those so idk if it would work with thag but worth a try! Much love ❤

[@sleepyspacegremlin]

I love your makeup and your NZ accent. Thank you for introducing us to this wonderfully spooky horse! 🖤

[@ariltowers9934]

There's a big annual event in Chepstow which has lots of Mari Lwyds.

[@jobes4525]

That looks Amazing! And so creepy! Half Welsh, very much approve 👌 TY 🖤

[@gemmahamilton2565]

I trusted the process and im so glad i did, this is STUNNING 😍

[@racheltuomi8695]

I love it! This is one of the best traditions,love the idea of being in an epic rap battle with a horse before it comes in and steals your booze😂

[@comrademax660]

this was so freaking cool! please make this a series with other "weird" traditions

[@crazyqueen088]

Omg! You killed it! You look awesome, amazing job queen! Love it! 🖤

[@JD-ASL]

Well done! Always interesting to learn about old traditions.

[@GingerGhoul]

You are so creative and talented !!! The end out come was soooo good ! I’m thoroughly impressed 🤍❤️🖤💚

[@juppaustria2924]

Wow. It came out so very cool!!!! I love it! 🖤

[@jaynesixx2185]

You are so talented, you always blow me away with what you can create.

[@blue_anime_cat2526]

Thanks so much for telling us about that tradition. I will look more up about it! Halloween&Christmas both guide me through the whole year, so the time for historical knowladge of that kind is always at the right time!😹 Love your videos and you're really talented!❤😻

[@janetmathieson9408]

Absolutely brilliant 👏 👌 loved this.. I knew of Krampus.. but not this one.. loved it🐴

[@liberty3129]

Помню, лет 7 назад, я случайно попала на твой канал. Я тогда была подростком, увлекающимся готской субкультурой, но ничего о ней не знающим 😂 я посмотрела тогда кучу твоих видео и гайдов по стилю, по урокам макияжа, да даже просто обычной прогулки с фестиваля. Я помню, что тратила по два-три часа, чтобы попытаться повторить твой макияж хреновой косметикой с алиэкспресса и это было забавно 😂 а я еще дико расстраивалась, если у меня что-то не получалось сделать 😂 Сейчас я уже не увлекаюсь так субкультурой, как раньше, но я рада вспомнинать то время и видеть, что твой канал не потух, а развивается ❤❤❤ я очень хочу, чтобы твоя аудитория только росла и твой контент был востребован ❤❤

[@wanya_telborn]

Obsessed ❤

[@savvisavage247]

Fantastic! Super festive, it really came together well! 💜💜💜

[@orbiscorpus]

This is such a cool and awesome look! What an inspiration. Thank you for the spooky festivities! ❤️🌹✨

[@NosferaNoctem]

AHH FINALLY 🖤 New It's Black Friday video eeee. ^.^

[@RayneFae]

I love the makeup! This is such a fun tradition i may need to incorporate for Christian.

[@CheshireCatGrins]

OH MY GOODNESS THE END LOOK!!! 10 outta 10

[@arisokit9866]

When I first saw the thumbnail, I thought the makeup was related to "Day of the Dead", but this Mari Lwyd you mentioned sounds very interesting. And yes, I do agree with you that horses skulls are very odd shaping and I thought you really did a good job on the makeup with is both creepy and charming at the same time. P.S. Your skin is looking super lovely.

[@Juleru]

Yes, it reminded me of that too but couldn't remember the name. I bet she would do great with one of the sugar skulls too (video idea?)!

[@frutypebbles3052]

This was awesome! You did fantastic✨

[@benstedall9864]

looks amazing your very clever with your make up and ideas :)

[@CemeteryGoth]

Absolutely love this well done ♥️♥️♥️

[@wanya_telborn]

Love this ❤

[@SteepedlnStories]

Thanks for teaching me something new.

[@Juleru]

This looks so cool, I could see this character in a Christmas horror movie! Something I just have to ask: Your kids are most likely used to your usual white-faced make-up but do they ever get scared when you do anything special and creepier like this or spooooopy contacts?

[@itisblackfriday]

Nah, they know it's me and try to touch my face and eyes a lot :p

[@sarawaterson8898]

U did an incredible job with that! I’m not surprised tho bcuz ur a magician with makeup & Ive always loved the everyday looks that u do 💋

[@jennifercloar9319]

So beautiful you nailed it!!!!!❤

[@Recovery-lightworker]

I love your mirror. When we were children, all of us were taught that fairies would have ones or fairy godmother’s had ones they actually have mirrors. They just look like ones but they’re mirrors. They are used to travel

[@scallyrandom]

Oh this is interesting, there is something very similar in Penzance in Cornwall called Penglaz. Which is seen at a celebration called Montol (winter solstice)

[@darkprincess000jk]

I need more videos like this, it's do interesting but also I love watching people paint their face 😊

[@themoonflowerfaerie]

Love it, you are so good at doing interesting makeup looks 💜🦇

[@babybat5276]

Enjoyable video!

[@Krigsfilosofi]

Absolutely gorgeous 💀🐴

[@JabbarMuhammad-f8j]

I think the makeup looks pretty cool

[@melissaevans2956]

You are wonderfully creative!

[@ExhaustedScarf]

I loved this! My great-aunt Barbara was a first-generation Welsh woman, and she did this every year growing up. Mostly just sort of dressed up for us kids, but it was still cool. The words are actually pronounced differently in the actual language. In Welsh, it’s more phonetically pronounced eh-fari-lloid, and you roll the R a bit. It’s got four syllables, five if you include the “eh” sound at the beginning, which I usually do. It translates probably to Grey Horse, because the skulls looks a bit grey I guess. The Christians who fucked the British Isles up at the time thought that it meant “Holy Mary” because of course they did. I hope you’ll get to enjoy your skeletal horse sing battles in exchange for booze and snacks each year in the future! Fair warning, horse skulls are heavy as shit and you kinda need to really attach it to the carrying poll. Also, it might be a good idea to put velcro around the back of the skull to attach the sheet to, so you don’t have to have it pressed against your face and ruining your makeup and hair quite as much. That’s what I wanted to do, anyway.

[@pennydreadful4939]

Wait, this video has been out for 2 days? Why is KZbin only just now notifying me and saying it was released 8 hours ago? What in blazes is going on around here?? Anyway, this was a really excellent look and i was really excited to see Y Mari Lwyd getting recognition from someone so awesome! And by the way, your pronunciation of Mari Lwyd was very good! Da iawn! 🖤🦇🖤

[@s.k5585]

This is super cool wow

[@louiseoz4720]

Gr8 Vid...nice to know you have a thirst for HISTORY & funky history at that..the face paint looks lovely to apply..Your kids are so lucky...a Mum who can rock big time for Book week @ school & Halloween..& Paganism festivals 🥳🖤🩶🤍💥..I woukd of loved that.🙏

[@lindyloo7177]

Bravo Freyja ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sashastaggs7683]

Girl you are so gorgeous no matter what you do! Sending love from the US from one goth girlie to another 🖤

[@slyasafox0012]

Adored the look! BUT as someone who likes facepainting and does it quite frequently for birthday parties, I would suggest doing the teeth on the bottom lip and a tiny bit on the chin. It gives the enlangated skull look if that makes sense.

[@kittydigs6469]

That came out awesome ❤

[@telayajackson1.0]

You nailed it.

[@AutumnMoonlight95]

Your look turned out wonderful! Mari Lwyd is so cool looking. Hoping to get one to add to my Krampus holiday decor. I'm also part Welsh :) Wondering if the old song 'The Old Grey Mare' has anything to do with Mari Lwyd?

[@greenseaturtle4]

You did a pretty good horse head. ❤

[@LoneLupine]

That legitimately looks like a horse skull on your face! Great job. I love it

[@moz7173]

SO GOOD 💗

Friday ! Kiora from Welly 🖤 My great grandad was Welsh. Fantastic makeup as usual 🦇

[@TheGlamourGhoul]

Love this! Such a cool look.

[@insubordinatecrafts]

This reminds me a bit of the Catrinas, from the Dia de Los Muertos celebrations. It came out really cool!

[@professorm0riarty]

I love this!!!

[@rnrsteev]

festive and scary, I like it

[@patferris1166]

Wow! You did a beautiful job!

[@inkdye9550]

This is so fun!! You did a great job. Maybe for the teeth (if you do this again), you could just paint the top lip white, and make the bottom lip and a bit of the chin the teeth? To make it look like just one row instead of two? I have no idea if that would work or look ridiculous, but it is an idea!

[@DorlaVegas-cw2kz]

Hopefully you'll find a head. Can't wait to see your art

[@SpookiCooki]

This is awesome! Also, I love how you have such a messy technique but the end result is always amazing. ❤ This reminds me of how we used to have a man dressed up as a goat in Sweden instead of Santa. I want to go back to the dark and creepy goat in a furry coat who's asking for booze.
