I *love* how Saf's lip color changes with what she is talking about

[@kelseycenteno6918]

Why are old makeup compacts so much cooler than now ?

[@alexandras2516]

Kelsey Centeno that's totally unrelated but styles and fashion in general has changed drastically, and people became more interested in sleeker-slimmer designs

[@larsswig912]

Wow I just said something like that. You read my mind.

[@casssssssssssss]

True!! It's about convenience now though since your average working woman wants to wear makeup... it just makes sense to have makeup that's slimmer and can fit in a purse or wherever

Fun fact in the forties lipstick was considered patriotic because hitler hated lipstick

[@helena_lang]

Specifically bright red lipstick, because he thought it was too much of a statement for women.

[@bethnana1990]

Actually it was considered patriotic because the Americans engineered a colour call victory red to boost moral but that could also be true

[@nicpay3851]

But, my grandmother, who was in her 20s during the war, wore lipstick but scolded me if I ever dared to put it on in public, like powdering my nose and touching my lipstick up after a meal. 😂😂

People weren't very educated, smart, nor advanced enough to figure out that mercury and lead were bad...they used mercury and heroin as medicine for babies or children back then in different eras. Yeah...a lot of fucked up things back then...

[@NotMykl]

I think the supposed inch of lipstick QE1 wore wasn't an inch thick layer but an inch thick line around her lip area. Since lead poisoning destroys one's face it might have been a way to try to replace the lips that fell off.

I actually have a push-up lipstick, and it still has the lipstick in it! It's wearable. But I wouldn't exactly suggest that lol. It looks like a lot like the second tube from the left at 11:08. It was my great grandmothers. Her mother, was a flapper. It's a beautiful dark peachy shade. I got it from my great grandfather, who keeps most things from his wife. I am named after my grandma Marion. And the lipstick still has its case. I love my family. It's all so interesting. I am related to some historical, influential people. It's just so amazing to see pieces of history like that.

[@Thatgirl-kk6er]

That's really cool I've always loved the history of makeup especially after WWII because women always made up their face to get a husband because they might have lost their husband in the war. Off the topic of makeup but during WWII the man and woman usually got married within a week of getting engaged because you didn't know if he was going to get shipped off soon

[@bncrfts]

YES HONEY GET THAT AUDIBLE SPONSOR

[@captaintaylor2409]

hoe Why do people keep saying that? Yes she got a sponsor but comments like these will prevent her from getting a sponsor from this company. I hope people realize that the company sees these comments and most companies don't want people commenting this. Go see heyparis video about getting sponsor.

[@bncrfts]

Jknewsfann ™ Because Audible has been sponsoring only the best KZbinrs since KZbin first started. Getting sponsored by amazon, one of the richest companies in the world, is a big feat and achievement and SHOULD be praised and celebrated. It basically means saf has made it to the top of KZbin in such a short amount of time. Getting sponsored by amazon ENCOURAGES other companies to sponsor saf...

[@hallieb3334]

Jknewsfann ™ some people might not know its sponsored? 😂😂 she literally thanks audible for sponsoring the video within the first minute... Also, I doubt audible is scrolling trough her comments, they have better things to do.

[@bncrfts]

Jknewsfann ™ Girl you're stupid. When a company sponsors a video they HAVE to disclose that it was sponsored, otherwise its illegal. Read a book.

[@captaintaylor2409]

Although she disclosed that it was sponsored companies don't want to see comments like these. I've had personally experience were I almost lost a sponsorship because people were commenting things like these. I have a large following on Instagram and people kept commenting "get your coin" or "get that sponsorship" comments like those could prevent saf from getting future sponsorships.

[@ashiiwater4113]

This is seriously a fantastic idea! :) all though I'm 8 months late to the party. I'm still holding out that this could become a thing on the channel! :). Would definitely personally be very interested in the body image one through history!

There are a lot of youtubers who advertise audible, but you are the first one who actually made me genuinely think about getting it. I LOVE how much research goes into all of your videos 😊 I think it’s so fun that you learn about all these cool topics as a part of your job. I’m for sure going to look into the history of makeup books you recommended 🤓

"Where do all of these lipsticks come from? And why do I keep buying them?" - I ask myself these questions everyday

[@holymanobangs8316]

Now that's some high quality content😍 unlike buzzfeed 😑

[@21bebaescandon]

Hello Safiya!!! What I admire and appreciate about you is that you do great researches and explained everything very nicely. You have great time pieces of your great collection of lipsticks. Big hugs and blessings from the Caribbean, Puerto Rico 🤘💚🙏🇵🇷
