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.

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! ;)

[@jamiejoygatto]

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.

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]

RememberRox what was the book

[@justjet175]

RememberRox My grandma pinched her cheeks and would rub her lips hard to give them a more red look.

[@annoyingstranger7770]

Your profile picture is everything

[@MeganHodes00]

They also used to pinch their cheeks to get a flushed look I think. I didn't know about the lip pressing though!

[@lilieneclaire446]

Lipstick has been around since ancient Egypt, maybe even before.

[@spacecop1397]

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

I love how you give a ton of information on why the women of that time did what they did. It's great!

[@FlyingMonkies325]

As usual it became a social pressure since people started to tell them to wear makeup to "compete" the with the men which honestly is sad since why do women have to wear makeup to have what men do? and then from there on... well... you can see what it did to how people especially women socialize, it's now obsolotely the expeted thing to do is always wear makeup, todays tends are a lot like the 20s makeup trends except they just slap on the lipstick all over their lips, blend more colors on their eyes and use highlighters to look like they had plastic surgery lol, but still... i wish makeup was still a frowned upon thing because of how girls feel it makes them better than others just for having makeup on or at least heavy makeup was. I like how they did the lipstick a lot better in the 20s though, it looks better than putting it all over the lips.

[@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!🤔

[@casimiralexander]

They did not have mica shimmer reflecting powders so they put vaseline ontop of a smoky shadow, for a "shimmer".

[@CinnamonCari]

So interesting!

[@twoforjoyspirit8699]

Casimir Alexander apparently that's back in fashion now using lip gloss

[@Tina06019]

That still works. But I would not put Vaseline on my eyelids if I were using mascara - that would make a mess.

[@marytootill789]

lately i've been obsessed with 1920's-1980's makeup tutorials, because they're so different from today and im a makeup addict. lol.

[@FlyingMonkies325]

Not really... if you look at todays trends it's not that different, they have taken the eyeshadow trends from the 1920s with how they did it and then how the drag queens did it and still do it, it's like bits taken from all through the 1920s, in the early 20s it was the eyeshadow, liner, mascara and lashes and the painted on lips and then after the middle 20s they started going heavier, putting lipstick all over the mouth and doing darker and bigger false lashes with dyed black hair or wigs, they seemed to be expressing the darker side of the eqyptians than the lighter side,. Then how people put lipstick all over their mouth now with natural crease looks seems to come from the 1940/1950s but i just see more of a 1920s influence than anything the way girls cake it on these days, although didn't stop it becoming a social pressure which sadly causes girls to be catty towards each other... that's all it's mainly about these days... except the only difference is using more concealer, foundation, powder and using highlight to make it look like they've had plastic surgery and they experiment with all the colors of eyeshadows, i'm gonna go on a whim and say they used darker eyeshadows because of how you could see the eyeliner that they smudged though the eyeshadow lol, they DID contour the cheeks though in the 20s, if you watch older instructional videos they did this a lot even more subtle looks just it wasn't as popular but the drag queens and the prostitues did it a lot.

[@southernlight6]

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.

[@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

[@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 )

[@MsHAHall]

I can't do anything about looking paler lol but I enjoyed this anyway! 20s-60s looks are always entertaining.

[@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!

[@Shaannooonn]

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

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!

[@sophian9105]

Victorians actually didn't wear makeup because it was associated with prostitutes.

+Danaë Supernova The 'beauty patch' was invented to cover pox scars

[@vanitypurplerain]

+Fandom Frenzy That's true. But actresses also wore makeup so she could do a Victorian makeup look for actresses.

[@vanitypurplerain]

+Danaë Supernova I would love a Marie Antoinette one : )

SO GLAD I FOUND YOUUU really needed such a tutorial thanks girl ur amazing ❤

[@ThashNathan]

Thank you so very much for doing these historically accurate makeup tutorials! I thoroughly enjoyed the trivia and information you shared about the time period throughout the video.

[@justsewingly]

This is wonderful and so well researched! I own Lauren Rennells' Retro Makeup book and your tutorial is so much more organized! Could you do a 30's tutorial? It seems to be a forgotten era...

[@StrawberryZombie]

I agree! I love the 30's because a lot of the looks were similar to the 20's, but softer and more feminine.

[@candycecallahan653]

I love how this is actually authentic!!! I would love if you did an ancient Greek look!!!

[@birdmad9]

Fantastic video! So appreciate your research and how you shared the information. And I absolutely love this look on you.

[@bethmann3283]

I really love your time period videos!!! Wonderful information and facts, love!

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.

[@haileyrae3426]

very informative. great video.

[@madeleinewilson6725]

This is just what I needed. I watched a couple other 20's makeup tutorials because I have a themed party to go to, and just thought they didnt look exactly right. They were a little off. Yours is perfect and it's obvious that you did your research! Thank you:)

[@michelleHigg1]

Absolutely loving this series! This look is definitely one of my favourites so far, and the vid was very informative!

[@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.

[@renaw8638]

Please do a 1920s historically accurate hair!

[@KatrinaGurlsPlace]

Absolutely Amazing...I am so GLAD to have stumbled across your channel!

[@MaidaA22589]

Absolutely adore your stuff, especially this series! You're so creative, and utterly educational (I especially loved the 90s tutorials - possibly my favourite era). Binge-watching, of sorts, rn x

Would love to see a Tudor England lady in waiting/queen tutorial as I'm related to Catherine Howard and Anne Boleyn :)

I love this! Finally a video that is historically accurate. I enjoyed your research a lot! You look like an actual silent movie star from that era.

[@kathyschaoticworld8168]

I'm so enthralled w your videos. This is awesome!!

[@cazarescrystal]

can we look into different cultures?

[@Zabrena]

Thank you, Teresa!! Hee hee! 80s is my most favorite period of all as I can relate ;) I tried finding pictures of old brushes in the 20s and came up with nada; I was really curious to see what they looked like too. It'd be completely awesome if there were a museum on the history of makeup. *sigh* Can you imagine?! XOXOXO!!

[@lorettagarcia-wones3257]

Wonderful research. Thanks for caring about your channel and viewers enough to take that extra step. So fun.

[@dabunns1]

Thank you Zabrena. I portray a 1920s local icon and your explanation of the history of the look and products, as well as your demonstration of the application was extremely helpful.
