Vintage 1940s Makeup Tutorial Film - 1946

A rare vintage makeup and beauty tutorial film circa 1946 presented to a group of high school girls by Ponds beauty consultant Mary Stuyvesant.
"When you face the outside world," she advises "be sure to put your best face forward!"
There follows one of the most in depth vintage makeup tutorials ever made.
The lecture begins with a lesson on skincare ( Ponds cold cream available in large doses here).
Then on to the business of makeup. "The first step is a smooth base!"
There follows a step by step tutorial on applying foundation, rouge and lipstick. This is followed by a lesson on choosing the correct hairstyle to suit your face type.
We uploaded this popular film in sections about 5 years ago.
Here it is now available worldwide in all its glory .

It won’t “ruin” your face, but a lot of the women who chose to wear makeup are also the women who wish to avoid wrinkles. So the whole “free to be you and me” thing doesn’t really apply to people who are hindering themselves by not washing the gunk off their face before applying more gunk.

@robinjdev16 I do that. It's actually better than putting brown contour. If you're in front of a camera, brown contour makes your face look stylized, but if you're outside in the real world, it makes you look dirty af. So for contouring I use blush (not all the way to the eyes, but on the tip and sides of the nose), it looks more natural, cute and also works. ❤️

No, vanishing cream was moisturizer. Foundation came in solid cakes and was applied with a sponge or tiny cloth.

[@Kelly-yc6pu]

I was able to order some vanishing cream off Etsy....thought I would give it a try, and I am so glad I did. It makes my skin so soft, like silk, and I no longer need primer. It does also help smooth the skin out, so I need much less foundation.

[@RR4711]

Since most people use foundation instead of vanishing cream it’s practically unheard of now days. The best one available is made by Bèsame Cosmetics but most moisturisers work as a reasonable substitute. The difference is a proper vanishing cream makes the makeup easier to remove at the end of the day, because instead of being absorbed like a moisturiser it gives the makeup something to grip onto.

For real, like girl this is the BEST time to be alive because not only do we have every single eras' aesthetics to choose from, but we have all of them at our disposal at all times because of the internet. If you want that 1940's look, grab some Pond's cold cream, powder foundation, a beeswax lipstick, cream rouge, and Besame 1940's recreation cream mascara. Personally, I like to bounce around picking up inspiration from the 1900s, 1920s, and 1960s and sometimes combining them in various ways. It's really sad that there are so many people who think they're locked into 2020 Western ideals of beauty just because they live in 2020.

+meowieberry Even today, colleges and the workplace only cater to full time workers and don't consider that a woman is /expected/ to cook and clean and take care of the babies. People don't tend to imagine a man that works full time but he also needs to make time to go home and cook and bathe the kids. That sort of expectation still exists, sadly. However, I think that a college course for grooming(that is optional, of course. as most courses are chosen by the student) would be beneficial. A lot of people struggle with hygiene, and don't know how to dress up for job interviews, work places, or even dates.

I actually adore this kind of makeup tutorials. Like, straightforward and simple. Most tutorials these days, you have to go through 3 minutes of "Hey, guys! So I was walking outside the other day blah blah blah I saw this beautiful product blah blah check out their product blah blah..." before you get to the actual tutorial. Also, no offense but I like makeup like this tbh. More than modern styles. I am basically ugly and whenever I try cat eye, strong brows, and Kylie lips I just look ridiculously... like an ugly drag queen. I tried this makeup style once and its simplicity made me relatively prettier. My grandma taught me this and it's probably the style I'll accept. 💙💙💙

[@__-qo4ci]

I doubt that you are ugly. Everyone is pretty in their own way 😊 I like this style too :) It's nice, simple, and more natural 😀

Less is more. Also you are not ugly. Just because a certain make up style doesn't suit you. It's ok to be beautiful in your own way.

I made a list of the modern-day equivalent to all of the cosmetic products mentioned in the video. These all have very natural ingredients, much like these products likely had back in the 1940s. I hope you enjoy :) Cold Cream - Lush Cosmetics “9 to 5” Cleansing Lotion (Lush Cosmetics “Like a Virgin” is very similar, but comes in a soap-bar form) Liquifying Cream - Dickinson’s Enhanced Witch Hazel Deep Cleansing Astringent Good Astringent/Skin Freshener - Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Cucumber, and Green Tea comes in a spray bottle, but can be dabbed on Dry Skin Cream - Lush Cosmetics “Skin’s Shangri LA” is a GODSEND of a moisturizer Makeup Pact - It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Pressed Anti-Aging Finishing Powder works great for this. Vanishing Cream - Lush Cosmetics “Vanishing Cream” is wonderful! Rouge, Lipstick, and Loose Powder - Bésame Cosmetics creates vintage-esc makeup inspired by real products that existed in this era. You’ll have to check out their site yourself for a product that’ll suit your skin! Have a nice day :)

Legit!! It emphasises self care, natural beauty and health. Rather than covering your face with 'insta-makeup' and calling it a day. Those days they also taught about hygiene, manners, education, and social/family life skills. Those were just things brought out to help people with little to no adverts trying to sell things... Although I don't agree with a lot of things they did back then, these types of videos are gold.

[@FunSizeSpamberguesa]

Keep in mind this wasn't long after World War II. Make-up had only recently stopped being a luxury item, and a lot of women and girls didn't have anything more than the basics

[@StormyDay]

My2ndnephew WWII just ended. Women didn’t wear much eye makeup during the war, the ingredients that went into making eye makeup were used for the war effort, and if you found it, it was very expensive. So, instead, they used a little mascara, eyebrow pencil, and rouge and lipstick. That’s why very dark full lips were popular, also women wore their hair longer. Plus I believe this is presented for women who are in their late teens/early 20s, I imagine college age.

I've been using Pond's Extra Rich Dry Skin Cream (the original formula with the baby blue top) since 1969!! Yep, that's right ..... 1969!!! I use this moisturizer every morning before makeup. It has served me extremely well over the years and nothing else that I've tried has ever compared for my before-makeup morning moisturizer. In the evening, I use much higher end/luxury cleansers, treatments, serums and moisturizers. I'm so grateful to the Pond's company for not changing their original formula and keeping it available all these years. So, as others have said here ... it's 2015 and I STILL am using Pond's!!!

[@laylachristina5605]

@@di7209 people seem to confuse respect with being submissive. Some parents and elders are the worst kind out there, but we can still respect them as we respect a stranger, saying: good morning, please and thank you. Once I met an officer who would even arrest thieves with respect, he knew those guys were so used to agressive actions and name-calling, that respect was the his best weapon to win any time of argument. Having one really bad and agressive parent, sometimes I would be so angry that I would scream and curse, but after some time I just wanted to stay away and in peace, and if I ever saw them again I just would say the basics and go on with my life, turn out being and ass only make us more like them.

People here are so dumb. "I wish makeup was like this now instead of clownish." - Do your makeup how you want, it's your face just how it's someone else face, so they can do it how they want. "I was born in the wrong time.." - Only rich females had makeup and it only had few shades; for the pale, slightly less pale, or pink tones. Females had no rights and were looked at as male property, sickness was mostly uncured, racism was more prominent because it wasn't rights with poc, and it was many wars.

[@eurydicewaltz5063]

When people say "I was born in the wrong time" they usually mean they wish things like this were still acceptable. Nowadays if you had a Transatlantic accent, called blush 'rouge', wore dresses and heels everywhere you went, and listened to Kay Starr people would call you a fucking weirdo. Funny I do all of those things. However yes you are correct, I wonder how many of those people realize they'd be living during World War II. Imagine not being able to buy balloons for your birthday because of a helium shortage, lol. And with the makeup thing, I agree people should wear their makeup however they fucking please and no body should tell them otherwise. That doesn't, however, mean that they shouldn't have an opinion. I personally think these women wear wayyyy too much highlighter, they look like fucking torches. But I'm not going to tell them to wipe they shit off because if they think they look hot as shit, who am I to them any different? People already have enough self- esteem issues.

Just stick to one color that matches your skin undertone and add hues of a coordinating color to add texture and depth! And omg if you are black or Asian please do not dye your hair blonde!

[@koolaidman6251]

Contouring already looks retarded to anyone with an IQ higher than 60. If you are Kim Kardashian doing a professional shoot, it makes sense to contour because it has an effect with the bright flash of photos. If you're a regular woman going to work, you look retarded with brown stripes down your cheeks and nose -- it doesn't fool the regular eye, you dumbasses, it only fools the camera.

I definitely think that the artistic freedom in the modern beauty industry is a massive step forward, but I do think some of these rules have relevance today. Contouring for example is so hyped up, but if people actually chose their hairstyles to suit their face shape, it wouldn't be as necessary. I think the problem with modern beauty trends is that while the freedom is there, the reliance on brand names, particular products and methods of application mean that everyone looks relatively the same, whereas in the 40's, everyone had their own look and makeup was more about complimenting your natural beauty, and minimising flaws, rather than restructuring your entire face.
