Why were All the 20th c. Designers Divorced?
Okay, okay! It's a bit click bait-y to say they were ALL divorced, which simply isn't true. However! This video is an in depth look at a fascinating trend among female designers of the 20th century.

Vintage Winged Eyeliner || Two Methods
Переглядів 5442 роки тому
It's taken me many moons to hone my eyeliner skills. Here's what I've learned! My eyes are hooded, which means I have very little eyelid space so putting on a thick black eyeliner isn't always the most flattering. The technique I'm using I believe is called tight-lining, when you line the inner parts of your eyelid. Stila Eyeliner: www.stilacosmetics.com/products/stay-all-day-reg-waterproof-liq...

    My parents grew up during WWII in Britain. My maternal grandmother made clothing out of old worn out clothes. For instance if a neighbor had a jacket and the sleeves had worn out sleeves and gave it to her she would make a jacket for my mother or uncle. She didn't have a sewing machine so she sewed everything by hand. She was an amazing seamstress, her stitches were n like they were made by a sewing machine. She would unpick old cardigans and make a cardigan for my mother or uncle. She was very resourceful, she planted a garden, she would take my mom my and uncle to the Roman wall where all kinds of berry bushes and fruit trees were planted supposedly be the Romans. She made fruit jams and jellies and canned fruits and veggies. Many people hunted rabbits for meat (Yuck) but you do what you can to survive I suppose. I have many many WWII stories that my parents used to talk to us about, none of them very pleasant. If we wanted something they would guilt us by saying "During the war we didn't have frivolous things like that, that's a waste of money." They came to the USA in 1961 when I was 3 years old because there was a lack of housing in the UK because it had been bombed so much and even though the war had been over for about 17 years the UK was struggling. They used ration books into the late 1950s and my Dad got tired of no food and no decent housing so he packed up and left.

    The background music is very distracting. If using background music it needs to be at a lower volume.

    This was a fantastic, informative video. Did coupons 'roll over'- if you didn't use them all up in the year? I can't remember the name for the life of me- but in a novel I read, it seemed to be a preoccupation of the characters to talk about 'pre-war quality' food & clothes...

      They got so little with rations that they very rarely had any coupons left. My parents suffered in the UK growing up in that hideous war. I think that is why they were both so nuts. They saw bodies without heads and heads without bodies. People they knew died because of incessant bombing.

    Basically this made it illegal to have clothing if you were large. I sew for a friend whose “waist/abdomen” height from hip line to bust is 7 1/2 inches longer than mine. No surprise that her hips are larger than mine, too. It’s hard enough to find independent pattern companies that do designs in her size, but it’s almost like they were making being her size illegal. There were clearly larger people then, too, although because their foods were not manufactured in the way, ours are, and people weren’t dieting as much, it was likely a smaller percentage of them there..

    Maybe avoid the conditioner. I stopped using conditioner because it makes my hair too smooth. I need the grip for my hair to hold better. I need to look into hair conditioner in the olden days, but I doubt they used any. Frizz would have been smoothed with pomade or hair spray anyway?!

    that comment on the importance of lines in hairstyling is even more so accurate for darker hair where all of the importance is on the silhouette more so than in the texture of the hair (any detail will be lost in the depth of the colour) my absolute favourite rollers for the 60s and 70s are brush rollers they give a goregeous curl and are more defined than velcro, they don't seem to hold that long on me though

    All that work setting your hair, back combing & styling! Just go to the local cosmetology school $10- ask for a senior student for a wet set & styled . Instructor are on the floor to help out. Relax and get your hair done stress free! Bring your own hair gel, the schools is water down.

    Try ponds cold cream for makeup removal. It's so moisturizing and I have similar skin to yours. After about a week I started to break out less severely, and in the AM my skin was glowing, instead of dry. I don't like it for AM but if you use Korean skincare for spot treatment and supplement it can go really far.
