Beet juice was used as blush during the 40s when makeup was rationed, but it's just. Awful. Not very good at coloring your cheeks either, the color is pretty light and you smell like a vegetable (I assume the roses are to help combat that). And yes, I did find this out the hard way. I went a little too in-depth into a high school history project 😂😂

[@mermaidtango]

yes, my grandparents actually grew beets, and were out there picking 'em, too -- My grandma and her sisters all used beet juice for blush if (IF!!!) they ever went anywhere other than church that required them to get out of their work dresses. my Grandma said that stuff would stain their fingers and anywhere it dripped, so they applied it with various other things and always always diluted it.

[@Tracy137]

Stella Brewster - beetroot juice was a thing in Queen Victoria's time here in the UK....she was a real prude and said women who wore heavier make up were not 'demure' enough for 'polite society'. So rather than the heavier rouges around at the time, many upper class Englishwomen used crushed beetroot as Victoria said it was 'lighter' and more acceptable. My society is mental - a cup of strong, hot, sweet tea is given in any and ALL circumstances and apparently nothing says 'demure lady' like coating your cheeks in boiled root vegetables.🤣🤣

[@Callmecaresse]

And her arm and hands/fingers would be stained! For a while....

[@KatieCottingham]

Beets make for great stains if you know what you're doing. If you didn't get a good color, you needed better advice. We did this as a project at roughly fifth grade I think and the rouge stain lasted a good two days after my presentation at full color, and that was with a summer tan. It's effective, but time consuming and messy.

But the way it was portrayed in the video was very sloppy and made it look weird. I used this form of make up when I was doing the Gerson Therapy.

[@yeye6980]

You clearly have no information on food rationing during the wars. Fruit and vegetables could have never been rationed, as they were primarily grown by housewives and wouldn't even make the trip to soldiers. Vegetables can contaminate other goods once they go bad. Meat, flour, wheat and sugar were rationed mainly. What the fuck are soldiers supposed to do with rose petals? Take a little soothing bath, throw them at enemies? And beets, right, not only are soldiers dodging bullets, now their stomach acid is low and they're pissing red pigments.

[@PanthereaLeonis]

I mean, we all have some shirts or something in our closets that we don't use anymore, or that is worn to rags. I got one right next to me now, waiting for when I'm going to use it for rags. One rag is now my shoe-polish rag. Also, when my socks have gone though the "find a mate" race too many times, I also cut them into rags. There are so many fabrics in a regular home that is actually only worth rags, right now. Rag curling the hair is *so* much easier. I did it with toilet paper once, and I got these super tight little curls. Should have ragged them and used bigger locks of hair, but luckily my hair type doesn't take to any products. I need to wear my tight braid for almost a week before my waves last more than 20 minutes. But then it will actually last most of the day.

[@MrsYasha1984]

I think the beet juice thing is from the WW2 era. Make up was heavily restricted, especially in Britain. So the women tried to make a look with what they had. Juice from beets and berries for the cheeks and lips. They even painted their legs with gravy so it looked like they were wearing stockings, those were rationed too. I would not call this a hack, more of an interesting historical fact. In fact, make up in war restricted times would be a very fascinating topic. But I think vintage beauty hacks gives more clicks 😑

This epidemic of the so called "beauty hacks" that actually hack nothing (as in: one has to do a disproportionate amount of work to use them, while the traditional way is much more simple and clean) buggers me greatly. Back im My Days (I'm over thirty, y'all) whenever you stumbled upon a beauty hack in a magazine or heard about it from a girlfriend - chances were, this stuff is going to be really good. Nowadays it's just mindless content created for reactions sake, as you said. I love the internet, but boy, does it get stupid sometimes.

[@mila5163]

ooh the "smash the beet" is actually a historically accurate """"hack"""!

[@elle-iza]

The beet for make-up purposes was actually a thing when my great-grandma was a young woman (1920s). Our village in the central German countryside was tiny back in those days, and there was no make-up available. So the young women cut open a beet and pressed their puckered lips onto the slice, since there was no lipstick they could buy. She said that it looked nice for a moment, but as the dance went on it started to dry and get sticky, and looked a bit like dried, clotted blood around their lips... :D And they didn't use blush at all, they just pinched their cheeks to get a bit of colour.

3:14 : I know it's weird, but the vaseline thing can be accurate. Marilyn Monroe used it as a foundation base ( is that even the right word? Apologize my english haha ). It makes the skin looks super shiny and fresh. It catch the light perfectly, which was great on set

[@rachelmaksy]

True! But they were talking about putting it on the eyelids which seems really messy to me 😂 Just doesn't seem like a 'hack' really, doesn't make anything easier 😂😂😂

[@saeosthavula9908]

Marilyn might have very dry skin to pull that off. Even then, the skin around the eyes are not very absorbing.

my eyelids and skin are super dry so i use vaseline on my eyes but only at night to sink in as i sleep, never before makeup or it slides off! i do use a vintage skincare routine however which has worked wonders since most of the products were highly moisturising! marilyns skin was awfully dry too and like her i use nivea creme as a moisturiser and it’s fab, but vaseline all over my face like she used would probably make me break out

Well, in some countries it was hard to find certain products. I can tell only about Poland from about 1949 to 1989. Since 40/50 everything in Poland have been depended on government, everything was kind of grey. You could end up in prison for really stupid thing. Women couldn't be original as years ago, lots of the cosmetics weren't available to get. And here beet appears! Because of no-good-cosmetics syndrome in shops, grandmas were even sometimes just cutting a slice of the beetroot. Of course, it works only for those with lighter skin and the blush isn't that visible, but for Polish working women it was enough. Or I'm just telling the bullshit Forgive me mistakes ♡

[@vintagecameragirl]

I do actually use vintage 'hacks', that my gran taught me... As she was actually a teenager in the 40's... Things like using nail varnish on ur lips if it keeps smudging (ouch) a good one tho is using a little bit of talc on your lashes before mascara.... It makes them thicker. Which does work... Also using talc as a powder on your face if you're very pale... As like me she was three shades lighter then porcelain (which is a pain as most people see you and think you're dying) kinda works... And makes you smell nice.

That's okay, all you have to do is sacrifice a lamb's heart to the Gods"......ooh the sass is strong here.....I LOVE it. LOL! The toilet rolls did make me goggle a bit and, being a bit of a history buff, I think they were actually (wrongly) aiming at the old 'rag rolling' of hair (and veered far, FAR off course). Also the 'vintage' blusher 'hack' is from the ancient Greeks who often used crushed cooked beetroots and strawberries amongst other things. But at least the 'hack' didn't go with the early Shang Dynasty in China that used crushed flowers.....but also PIG pancreas or COW 'pulp' as a thickener! As red symbolises good luck (and cosmetics showed their wealth), the ancient Chinese liked their blusher the redder the better,......even it meant crushing certain animal offal into those flowers!🤮🤢 LOL!

Ummmm .... Vaseline was used by more than a few of the old Hollywood stars. And using beetroot for lipstain & / or blush was a thing during WW2. One could also add using gravy browning or cold-tea for stockings, (complete with a line drawn up the back as a ‘seam’ ) soot & Vaseline were also used as mascara &/or eyeliner. I remember family stories about the problems of using gravy browning for stockings if one meet a dog! Yes these were rationed but there was tremendous pressure on women to look good, it was treated as a patriotic duty. Many women started using things like beetroot before their supplies of lipstick actually ran out as it allowed them to save the lipstick 'for best'.

[@rachelmaksy]

@@kittling5427 Its also important to note that they werent really hacks back then either. Hollywood stars could use vaseline bc they only needed makeup to last long enough for pictures and could sacrifice longevity for shine. Even if it was long term, like for filming, skin care was also way behind and those stars all had dry skin from all the makeup and removers and constantly being under hot bright lights which made the vaseline probably a little less gross. But still, slathering yourself in vaseline wasnt something most women did. My great grandmother always told us that if you wanted color to stick, you would just have to use something more pigmented. She did her brows with charcoal but she says she never used beet juice as blush even tho they ran a sugar beet farm. Might be her conservative twist but she says girls with bright red cheeks and dark eyes were always "easy" if you know what I mean.

From my knowledge the vaseline on the eye is somewhat historically accurate though I haven’t come across them using it as an eyeshadow base but more as something to give a little sheen. The beet blush Im so confused by because they already established they were using real makeup? Maybe to serve as an elixir blush which were popular in the 20s but considering how botched most of the tips are Im not sure why they decided to try liquid much less from a beet because by the 30s I think powder blush was a thing but I could be wrong

The beets feel less 1940’s, and more... Ancient Greek? And... if you’re desperate enough to have curls, just use overnight curlers? They’re less messy, you can have tighter and nicer curls, and I think you can actually do it without heat! As for the cream lipstick... why not use a thin paintbrush instead of a liner, if you want a more retro one? I mean, I’m not saying the women don’t look nice, they look lovely, but... I feel like the hacks could be better. ESPECIALLY THE CURLERS

"Maybe in the 1500's that was a beauty hack" Well...ladies publications since handbooks for women became a ting have had DIY blush recipes. In the 190's, 17 magazine had an article for using vaseline or chap-stick and berries for DIY tinted lip and cheek color....something we can date back to ancient Rome as a DIY beauty trend. For girls with super conservative parents who wouldn't let them buy blush...that was actually usefully AF. It even helped some of us win the fight when mom realized fruit in a grease base with NO REFRIGERATION could become less than healthy fast. It came back when 'cheek stains' got super trendy, sans chap-stick. It's also how I learned i could melt a crayon into clear (or frosted) lip color for the blue, green, and other radical lip colors that MTV helped make supper trendy outside Halloween season. My friends and I would Frankenstein crayons, eyeliner, blush, shadow, and craft glitter into all sorts of custom shades most sleepovers.

We used soda or beer cans with the ends taken out to curl our hair in the early 60s. It was an effort to get a straight style yet still have body. Sleep on curlers? Did you ever see those nylon netted bristle sort? Oh my Freakin' word! Well, punch up your down pillow and sleep with it under yr neck. Your Mom would say one must suffer to look lovely! Argh! We used Vaseline-no makeup added-on our brows & eyelashes, Mom's concession to our pleading to be allowed to use cosmetics. Teasing: a lot during the 60s for those bouffant 'dos. Crushed rose petals: gave me a chuckle. My Gram, and it would have been around 1908-1915 When she did this, crushed petals for rouge. Her Mother was adamant, only fallen women wore makeup. This is in rural Kansas, early 20th century, strict upright (uptight)Methodists. *Gram married, moved to California, loved fashion & wigs & cosmetics. She learned to dance & played cards lol

I usually really love your videos but I wish you could have given more historical information or explained in more detail how you would have done it instead. Just reacting to the video fell a bit flat for me because there was so much potential to educate.

[@cynthiahardin1101]

Kay some are legit vintage. The Vaseline was was to create the large moist eyes of the silver screen, same with the eyebrows. The rosepetle and beet ww2 England . Toilet paper , not so much, but my grandmotheruse to stretch my mother's hair by wrapping it around empty veggie cans. The object wasn't to curl,but to stretch the hair in prep to ironing it, this was a Saturday morning prep for rag roll during the week.

[@rachelmaksy]

I wish they had put some facts or cited which era the 'hacks' were from, and didn't present it as hacks you should do nowadays to achieve the look, but instead made it more about the history of each trick. I would've liked it a lot more 😂

Um I think I prefer my roses on the bush..or in a vase at least. Smash beets? I like my beets, but if you don't like beets you're going to BUY beets to do makeup and sneak over the the neighbors or local park and STEAL roses?? I think even a more high end rouge or blush is cheaper and more socially acceptable than creepy smashing and rifling flowers. By the way, my mom and her sisters DID DO roller curls...WITH REAL curlers or RAGS--which were a LOT EASIER to SLEEP IN and STARTED them with DIPPITY DO, or sprayed them with hair spray in the morning and then obsessed all day about losing their curls. When I wanted curls really bad...I just got a PERM. Then I could use water to kink them up, or use a curling iron to make curls after applying hair gel, or just smoothed them out so they would just look "wavy", but at least if it rained I could just say "All right! Time for the Orphan Annie look!" or "ooh no! my hair sprays running down my face!" I never used lip liner, I had both matte and gloss lipsticks. Matte to line and base the lips, and then gloss if you don't want to look like "old lady lips." As for dark eyeshadow, well when I wore makeup it was the years of "blue eyeshadow should be illegal", so I wore muted shades, used matte eyeliner and water resistant mascara that didn't come off with sweat and rain. As for cheeks I used matte or powder type because I tended to sweat too easily in summer and had oily skin so the cremes and oil based would cake up even worse than the matte and would turn florescent even with the recommended shades of several different "beauty experts". I learned to go a lot more "natural" with cheek shades for that reason. Despite the rouge problem though I always went with oil based foundation because the powder one WOULD cake out and look like paint and the water based would just run off at the first opportunity. I only used powder a little bit as a dusting to soften my look and I would usually put on as little as possible except for mascara and sometimes lip color. For my wedding, the person who did my hair recommended lining lips, a light dusting of POWDER, then another layer of lipstick, then another light dusting of powder, and then a final coat. She said it would then come off in "layers" if at all and then I would still have an even coat of lipstick. It did actually work, but I would never do that for every day use. It feels weird and tastes bad when you're eating, so I would only do that when you think the occasion needs it. Over time I became allergic to MOST makeup, and my husband actually told me he didn't really like makeup on me for everyday, how about just Sundays, occasions, parties and when we went out? That was the most wonderful thing I ever heard and I happily ditched it, and he didn't like my kinky hair and wanted to see what a straight, long with no bangs looked like. Well, I tried it and never went back, he loved it and all my family and friends said it looked better, and besides, I'm middled aged now, happily married for 22 years with a very active 12 year old who doesn't give a rip how I look, just how tired I can make him by the end of the day, So I am growing my hair really long, no makeup, nothing but braids, buns and 70s long hair styles and that's it, and LOVING it!

The beetroot and rose petals are actual 'vintage'. They were used in the early days of makeup but also used in war time in the UK esp (no idea about elsewhere) when makeup products were scarce or unaffordable. They were also used as a lip stain. So they're historically accurate. All of it was very badly applied. I've seen the toilet roll thing before but in my research, I've never seen it as historically 'vintage' accurate. Awful video though, makes me cringe!. Hers, not yours lol.
