[@rosenadeem1782]

I'd ❤ to see Lisa Eldridge and Erin Parsons together talking and showing historical makeup 😍

[@lorifischer1581]

As someone with a degree in history (focusing on social and cultural history), I can't get enough of these kinds of videos! I love learning about how people lived, and what they used in their daily lives. Thank you for making such awesome content!

[@LisaEldridge]

I'm thrilled you love it, so many makeup history fans here! 💘 xx

[@anakreyszig303]

Have you read A History of Private Life? I think you can only find these volumes used now, but it is a wonderful (five-volume) compilation of how people lived their day-to-day lives, from the classical period to WWI, and it focuses on things like the architecture of the home (think whether an era had bedrooms for couples or not), hairstyles and cosmetics, fashion, etc.

[@pants6416]

I remember my husband enjoying so much your series about make up history 🤩. I love the fact that with you it’s not only about products but the interesting facts and history behind them. It’s so good to learn something new. Thank you Lisa ⭐️

[@rebahsolomon1913]

I ❤ your history of makeup videos. The “Biba” girl look was a fave. More, please!

[@laureldudek8878]

YES MORE COSMETIC HISTORY PLEASE LISA 😭 i would extra love to see modern takes on vintage looks

[@emp471]

Nothing puts more life into the skin than a beautiful blush ☺. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, Lisa.

[@LisaEldridge]

Thank you for watching 💕💕

[@lookingatdaisies9901]

So true, I've been improving in my makeup lately, still simple but wanting that refined look in the works of classic professionals like Lisa. I keep looking at before and after pics of how I used to do my makeup because they seem so similar but one is clearly better... It's the blush and bronzer, the stuff that removes that flattened boring effect from just using foundation and powder. Two subtle products and everything changes!

[@rae9077]

😊hi Lisa, that was so much fun, you had a bit of a giddy mad scientist vibe. The last look was my favorite.So pretty. Loved this ! would love to see more beautiful historical content and paintings.

[@Heatherofscots]

The older I get the more I find this is true. In my teens I would have said that concealer and eyeliner would be my must applies before leaving the house and many decades later it is blush and mascara.

[@katmoore1909]

When Lisa does blush...❤🎉😊the Angels Sing! Those BBC series ... another incredible production🙏💗🌹

[@missyme2673]

I could watch you making ye old make up all day long! I love your collection of historic make up and how respectfully you treat them. They are all a part of our history and watching you show us how they were used is just the most satisfying thing ever! I studied Pharmaceutical and Cosmetic Sciences at uni and still have some old 'recipes!' This video is my heart. And I love how you use your knowledge and expertise to bring the absolute best products from your own range! Love love love this video, thank you for sharing, Lisa and bringing us into your wonderful world! 💕🩷💕

[@LisaEldridge]

They are my babies ! 😂 Thank you for watching xx

[@sealswimswim354]

The first Lisa video I watched was on Makeup History. This remains my favorite type of content! So informative, watching how the techniques and formulas develop is fascinating!

[@aaronbynum8968]

I admire your confidence in applying anything to your face with no fear of the possible consequences this is so fascinating I hope it would be a continued series

[@LisaEldridge]

Absolutely obsessed with the history of makeup. Please continue the series

[@bettyscheiner114]

LISA, I absolutely loved this video. I love everything about makeup and skincare. I also love HISTORY about EVERYTHING. I hope you will do more videos like this and more videos more often. Maybe once a week. That would be so AWESOME. Love watching you do makeup and all the techniques you show. PLEASE DO MORE. THANKS SO MUCH :-) YOU ARE AWESOME 🙂

[@LisaEldridge]

Thank you for watching 💘💘

[@stephboyardeee]

I’ve always loved Lisa’s videos but mostly the history of makeup videos!! Please more of these and maybe an updated collection of vintage makeup!!

[@winromeo]

Being in Canada I was having hard time watching your BBC series! But one day during my fashion week flights, miracle happened and this original episode was shown!! Wish I could see more, so yes please Lisa, more!!! Xoxo

[@soonli428]

Your enthusiasm and love of makeup, its history and its evolution is what I feel every time I watch you. Whether it's a history lesson, or a makeup tutorial, even your product launches. I never imagined I would enjoy learning about cleansers. Your product launch for your cleanser was so inspiring, I remember telling my partner about the plants around the Roman baths, you do that, you bring your love of the subject into everything you do and I'm inspired... So yes, more please ❤

[@LisaEldridge]

this means so much to me, thank you for all your support, and the kind words ❤

[@andreaedwards1405]

I loved this series, and watched it multiple times. This video is a fascinating way to view the development of a specific product through the eras. Yes, more please. If I could add one thing, it would be to include the development of your own products at the end. This could highlight inspirations, developments, and pitfalls. Thank you for the content!

[@LisaEldridge]

That's a great idea - thank you 😍

[@gellawella]

Plus one on that last idea! 👌🏼🙌🏼

YES PLEASE!!! ❤❤❤ I absolutely loved seeing the History of Blush and the Authentic Recipes!! 😊

[@glendamccurdy6677]

Please please please do more of these type of videos Lisa. It’s obvious you have such a passion for the history of makeup and I really enjoy that too. Maybe something on the history of foundation and the trend of being very pale to show you were a lady of leisure and didn’t have to work outdoors to the trend of being very tanned to show how wealthy you were in going to far flung hot countries for vacation. Also the trend in sunbeds to the faux pas of that now. Also the huge movement in sunscreens which was practically unheard of in my youth in the 80’s. Thanks Lisa 😊❤😊

[@denisehumphreys677]

The 'rouge' (as they called it then) that my dear mother used, she used to buy from Woolworths.. it was in a little black and white round cardboard box ... by Bourjois. It had a tiny little puff inside it. I remember that so vividly... ❤

[@Dr-Alexandria]

I can’t believe KZbin didn’t tell me when this video dropped! I have notifications on (one of only 2 I have that set for! Rajiv Surendra’s channel is the second for any curious readers looking for another “authentic” channel among the masses). And I’ve watched all these interesting “history” ones. I think it’s a KZbin glitch! Please don’t stop making these types of videos just because the view count for this video looks lower - so many of us LOVE these!

[@lgonz720]

I loved this series! So thoughtfully and beautifully executed. It's always a pleasure to see you in historian-mode. As an art historian myself, I've always wondered what Madame de Pompadour had on her little pink brush in the portrait by François Boucher!

[@zizzie4081]

My husband is a rocket scientist (literally), and he is rarely impressed by anything. As a history buff, he loved your makeup up book, as did I. This is a wonderful idea, the historical context is most interesting. I love when your eyes light up applying the blush, pure delight,

[@agingophelia9812]

Yes, more please! It's so enlightening to learn about these processes, it's a window into the lives of the people back then, and brings us more respect for their ingenuity. I remember my mom saying how she had to make her own blush and lipstick as a young mom of several toddlers in the 50s, (my older siblings)-- she had to use what was on hand and scrape every drop from her old store bought items.

[@Julia4453]

These are so interesting; I love the historical videos. I have a blush in an art deco gold metal and black enamel compact. My daughter bought it for me at an estate sale consignment store, along with a powder compact intended to hold loose powder. It has a sort of presser. Anyway, the blush is a perfect medium neutral pink and came with a square flat applicator like the one that was shown as a sample in this video. What was interesting to me is that this applicator works quite well in smoothing on the blush. We’re so used to brushes, but it’s fun to play with other types of applicators.
