Historically Accurate: 1920s Makeup Tutorial

[@therealJamieJoy]

My great grandmother was alive until I was 23 years old. She shared many memories with me. One of her memories of mascara was that women pretty much gobbed mascara on their lashes so that they were stuck all together but deeply thickened. Then they used a needle or a hat pin to pick apart lashes in order to separate. Sounds treacherous!! Thank goodness for mascara wands today!!!

[@GreyCatDot]

girls were still doing that in the 80s when I was in junior high. a lot of us waited to get to school to put makeup on so those bathroom mirrors got used! ;)

[@therealJamieJoy]

OMG is that where cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye comes from? it's too scary hahahaa

[@meeeka]

sunsetbeach7 me to. I use Chanel cake mascara with a brush. My mother taught me that: "a woman's best defense against the world is a thick coating of dark mascara." Why? Because in that kind of mascara,if one cried,not only did it run, it burned! So no tears allowed. It has been amazing advice for me.

[@ameliapartida7878]

I still use pins to separate my eyelashes...

[@suzanne4396]

I did the pin-thing in the 80's...sometimes while driving to my date!

[@oliviamontemayer7089]

I naturally have large eyes, a round face, I'm stupidly pale, and have really long eyelashes. I would've been drop dead gorgeous in that era.

[@CroixdeLorraine]

FlyingMonkies325 I wear makeup and no, it doesn't make me any better than or feel any better than anyone else, either!! I see cosmetics as an enhancement rather than a status symbol, since I can't afford very expensive makeup. But, it just gives me a real morale boost to wear makeup, and I don't see why most other women shouldn't feel that way, either!🤔

Apparently the ridiculously long brows were taken from film (which in turn borrowed from stage,) where these long, dramatic brows would be drawn onto a character to expand the eye area and give that character their archetypal expression. Since most film heroines had that wistful, downward-slanting brow of purity, it was also a popular choice outside of film and theatre. Furthermore, while ancient Egyptian culture was definitely a huge influence on 1920s fashion, the dark lips and eyes also owe heavily to stage and theatre. The new electric lights and cameras would wash out the actor's face, so they drew eyes and lips dark to ensure that the actor's expression would still be visible. They also (re)invented contouring for that reason, but for the same reasons that apply today, it didn't transition into everyday makeup as readily. Source was a stage makeup instructor and you know they like to take credit for everything under the sun so take this with a grain of salt. Also, thank you so very much for a well-researched, accurate historical tutorial. Takes ages to find a tutorial that can do even a halfway-authentic application, let alone one that's as spot-on as this.

[@claudeusgothicus6453]

I believe you are correct

[@tracygaylor9505]

a good-looking pair of brows meaning even and thicker could wear hats better than others that's why you look good in hats. Today they are drawn heavily on shaped filled brows trends certainly change

What a great video. You did a wonderful job. My grandmother was 35 years old in 1920. She said few average women wore makeup in those days. Those who did were considered 'fast' but everyone wanted to wear it! But movie stars and flappers were the ones who wore it most.

Fun fact, before lipstick women used to put cinnamon powder on their lips to achieve a red colour, they were also taught to press their lips together before entering a room to achieve that temporary red colour. Read it in the history part of an authentic beauty guide from 1928. A very interesting reading. Did you know that the arms and hands were considered to be the most beautiful part of a womans body? There is an entire chapter dedicated to taking care of and slim your arms and hands, they even used makeup on them. Another interesting tip mentioned in the book was to wash your eyes with water nce in a while (either splashing your face with eyes wide open or dip your face in a bowl of water eyes wide open).

[@alexiayoung1225]

Oh gosh, I'm old enough to remember when you could still buy mascara in cakes. It was very difficult to use. Nobody would put up with that now. Good job!

[@TiffanyHD_]

The 20's look was mainly to create a strong emotion on the actress faces because of the mute and b&w movies, as a strong contrast of colors ( pale / white fondation - deep and thin extended eyebrow with a "falling" smoky eye - heart-shaped lips in a winy color )

[@ScarletHeather76]

As a history fanatic I'm thrilled with your research and that you differentiate between the facts you know and the observations you've made. Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! It's really nice to be able to say I appreciate your work instead of hey cool video. I'm going to try this tomorrow.

Because it was cheaper, and could be used in a pinch. My mom used lipstick as blush when needed also.

[@skinni_the_P00hBear]

Claudeus Gothicus She really gave off the 40s look when her hair was down

[@alvexok5523]

@@claudeusgothicus6453, in what way do you think she looks modern, even with the 1920s make-up? She doesn't look 1940s so much because of their hairstyles being different than this. 1940s hair was like, for example, Virginia O'Brien or June Allyson in "Thousands cheer". I think that she actually looks a little more 1930s than 20s. In the 20s, many flappers had that bobbed hair and those round hats they often wore, that Gatsby look. This girl's make-up and hair looks kind of early 1930s. She looks like women you'd see in the early 1930s Barbara Stanwyk or Jean Harlow films. Or early 1930s films "42nd Street" or "Footlight parade", she looks like alot of the dancers during rehearsals in those 2 films

[@helenah364]

+Psychobilly H Actually, I'm an Indian American medieval reenactor who plays an Italian woman, and yes, you can! If you'd like, of course. Try going to a store that lets you try the makeup on and ask for a shade, maybe two lighter than they'd usually give you and blend well. You can lighten your skin without looking sickly. Also, remember that unfortunately, at the time the standard of beauty in America left out people of color and was very Euro-centric. A (very, very rudimentary) search shows me that products marketed towards women of color emphasized paling the skin as well, so it's certainly possible. Whether you choose to pale your skin or not for the purposes of the 20s style, I'm sure you'll rock it!

Good thing you can't do anything about looking paler, I mean, you're perfectly beautiful ❤️

Usually my sister or someone else does it for me because I'm scared on putting eyeliner or too much make up on my face, or thought I just couldn't.

By the way, weren't false lashes worn in the 20s? I'm not sure the materials were as safe, but I thought I've read about that.

[@Zabrena]

CuppoJane Yes! Thank you for the appreciation! Love a fellow analytic! ;) I'm researching the 30s at the moment for a new video soon and you're right about the falsies. I just found out they were invented around 1902 / 1916 (depending on which story you believe) and mainly used/developed for Hollywood actresses. They started being distributed to the general public more heavily in the 30s and that's where falsies really came onto the beauty scene for everyone. Like you said though, the materials were very harsh and not as good as they are now. Fascinating stuff!

Two of the reasons for the lips being done like that were that the pigment in the lipsticks were very long lasting and you didn't want to make a mistake with it and the other was that lippie was also very expensive compared to any income a woman may be making. It was often a pucker job.

Eight years later- Hi Cuz! Lol

[@clairewenn4696]

Thanks so much for the history included with the demonstration. You did your homework, and I love your enthusiasm. I get very tired of people making these makeup tutorials who either can't speak properly or act rather immature. I will watch all you have available. :)

[@bereaux94]

makeup around the world would be cool too. :). I really love your videos.

[@languagewhorder]

I agree! I would love to see makeup looks from different areas of the world.

What would you recommend for recreating this with hooded eyes? I absolutely love the tutorial but don’t have NEAR the same “eyelid real estate” to work with 😅

[@101bubblebeauty]

Love this look and your personality. Subscribed within a minute in:)

Howlovelybeauty Aw! Thank you and welcome to you! :D I'm working on one for the 30s at the moment that will publish later this month! :D

[@anabelalonso8042]

I love this! Not only demonstrating a tutorial but learning the history of make up amazes me! Great research. Best of both worlds make up and history!!!! Great video

I know I'm a few years late, but thank you so much for this tutorial. You made it so easy for me to duplicate. I'm also a pale redhead, and I love history, so I love being able to recreate the period looks with contemporary makeup. I'm a librarian, and my library hosted a Great Gatsby tea last weekend. I did this look so I could complete the look of my flapper dress. I got so many complements on my eye makeup! I will definitely be using this look again as my boyfriend and I enjoy going to vintage clubs, and I'll watch your other historically accurate look videos

Please do a 1920s historically accurate hair!

Super tutorial! Our senior community is hosting a Puttin On the Ritz party, and I'm trying my best to get my old face to look like a youngster of the Roaring Twenties! Now THIS is a challenge! Thanks for all the great information and history, too!

How do you get the wet and wild eyeliner to go on so easy?? When I use it, I have to push so hard, and even sometime take a lighter and very slightly warm the tip up to try to get it to go on...and it still does not work that great, so I use the crayon type one and its too heavy sometime and I want to use the pencil..I have tried all kinds to try and am polish this..so I'm assuming maybe I am doing something wrong??

[@Zabrena]

+Justmiss jamey Hi! I don't think you're doing anything wrong at all; I think it's possible to get a bad one. It's happened to me before with Rimmel. Have you tried any other WNW pencils to see if there's a difference? Just a thought! :)

[@Celanna192]

+Justmiss jamey I randomly picked up a black stick eyeliner by Palladio from Ulta the other week. It goes on super easy. Which is a good thing since I'm a noob at makeup. You can find Palladio in the not so expensive make up section of Ulta. :)

+Celanna192 , I believe they also carry it at Sally.

[@ElizabethNBall]

+Justmiss jamey , what's wrong with using the lighter? Tons of girls used to do that when I was young.

+Elizabeth N. Ball Nice.
