First +pls pin
You got it 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup i really love your videos so much!
Dan ganas de intentar the spanish brunette 😍
I really don't understand 🤔
@erinparsonsmakeup Ooo! Have you ever been to the Hollywood museum that's in the old Max Factor building?? Please do some videos from the color rooms! (I'm certain they couldn't resist you and would immediately agree. 💋)
This is hands down the BEST shift of the beauty community in years, positive and fun. I love learning all this history!! Truly thank you Erin 👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️
Can I tell you - I love UA-cam, I watched every makeup video - and then everyone disappeared 😢 so I was like well why don’t I just try it 😊 I’m so happy I did! Thanks for your message 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup You’re so so welcome! Same here, I’ve missed the sparks so I am so glad you did because the passion is contagious ❤️
It's true! It used to be so much more like this. Thank you for bringing it back and making it fun again ❤
Agreed. I’m not even a big makeup person, but I find this all fascinating and FUN!
I love the longer format content, so much info and more time to appreciate the looks, the images.
I say this in the best possible way- please don't feel like you have to squeeze in a time frame, we really appreciate the long form content and hearing what you have to say, this video was amazing!
I'm in my mid 50's and when I was 16 my grandmother passed she was 72. While cleaning out her room I found an old shoe box containing some old make up, it was all Helena Rubinstein. As in your video the pigments in the powdered Rouge were very bright and not much was needed . From a little investigating and the help from my grandfather I found out the make up dated back to around the early 1930's when she was in her 20's ....So glad she kept it and now it's very treasured 💕. I'm new to your channel, I love your style....so beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I'm just 7 years older than you, Marie, and I used to watch my 40-something grandmother do her hair & makeup when visiting. It was always a revelation, her going from ordinary to "actress" beautiful. She passed in her mid-50's from cancer, but still those were such nice memories with her (& learning how to make pancakes). 💕💖 Have a nice holiday season & great new year in 2024! 😊
@@marysoares8336 Merry Christmas to you and your family and best wishes for the new year. 🤗
Take this with enthusiasm and sincerity you're so lucky!!! I would love to find that. I have been OD'ing on 1920's30's nostalgia for years. I love how women looked and the makeup especially. Have fun with that!!
The brunette and purple is gorgeous I had no idea that they were so vibrate and colorful with their color pallets back then it’s sad that they only had black n white photos
Color photography is older than you might think!
Erin, I'd love to see you explore other cultures approaches to makeup. Such as current Korean trends, traditional Balinese wedding, 80s Bollywood, late 1800s Chinese and bourdoir looks over the decades.
That is such a cool idea! I'd love to see that too, Erin.
Me too!
Ohh! Yes please
That would be awesome, but imagine the hafeful content she would get for appropriation?
@@happy_bubble7 the joke would be on them because that's stupid! She can APPRECIATE makeup, just like those cultures APPRECIATE makeup from her culture. She should do it now to prove that it can be done. And the pathetic little internet jokes can sit down lol
Thank you for bringing my love and passion back to makeup. It’s so refreshing to see an artist that focuses on the history of product, rather that a cyclical stream of drama and marketing. You can get so disenchanted with the constant negativity and sincerely applaud your passion and energy.
Thankyou for saying so 🤗 I really miss having tons of beauty UA-camrs to watch. I hope they come back - even if it does hurt my wallet 😅 but I’ll def be here for the history!
YES!
I think the undertone of ones skin and hair (and eyes) also plays a huge role, not just the contrast and the colours themselves. This was really interesting! Thank you :)
Yay! We get another long format video! It's so cool to explore the history behind these looks. I think it would be really awesome if you took a look at ancient beauty rituals as well. Along with other aspects of beauty, such as skincare and haircare.
Also, I think the idea behind color harmony makes sense when you consider the various skin tones people have. But I feel like it gets thrown out the window when it comes to an extremely pale white complexion. Let's forget that we are thinking about skin, and just look at it as purely colors. Everything goes with white backdrop. If you had an empty, white painted room and put in a purple couch with magenta cushions, it would look nice. Maybe not the colors you prefer, but it would still look pretty. Draw those colors on a white sheet of paper with markers and it works. But once you start getting into the various shades of brown, it starts to change, and those same colors may not be as flattering. So that's why I feel like regardless of your hair color, the makeup looks still work for you. Plus you also know how to apply makeup well since you are a professional.
I will most definitely do a fun ancient makeup video soon! I’m not skilled enough with hair I think to recreate 😅 yes can totally appreciate what you’re saying about the skin tone 🤗
Even the palest skin has some sort of undertone, but you might be on to something regarding the fashion of painting the face entirely white that a lot of cultures had at one point or another. Perhaps masking the natural undertone is easier with very pale skin though. Also I would like to add that the other extreme of skin color (extremely dark, almost black) would probably have the same kind of neutral effect.
I don't do makeup but it's just fascinating learning about the history of makeup. You're mothering!
I totally agree! Well minus the wearing makeup part 😅 I’m a painted lady but the history is so fascinating
@@erinparsonsmakeup I loved the Egypt short you did. Red ocher is my color.
I just looked at hair gel. It has acacia gum and that goes back to ancient times.
You're the vintage fashion channel I've been waiting for, for so, so long... I love how we have a community now that lives (semi/) authentic to historical standards, and documents it. I love seeing history in motion.
But it's the way this, sometimes lost, knowledge could be applied to modern life, that truly drives my interest here.
I really like that you look at it from both perspectives.
You're a peach, gorgeous .💋✌️
(Thanks for coming to my Ted Squawk)
What does mothering mean in the first comment?
All of the looks suit you, but there's just something extra special about the "light auburn" look. It made you glow
I thought she was absolutely striking in the green as well!
This woman is Beautiful without make up, great make up artist.
I completely agree... w both of ur comments
Yes,that was my favorite Erin Parsons look of all the choices.
I really like purple eye make up with green eyes. It makes them magical. Personally, I think trying to match green lids with green eyes or blue lids with blue eyes often leads to clashing.
But purple or reddish purple eye make up with green eyes, contrasts extremely and makes green eyes. Pop like magic.
You can pull off ANY color, ANY look, ANY hairstyle… it’s just unreal how gorgeous you are in modern or vintage! ❤❤❤
the color theory I think enhances each hair color but definitely works with each different combination. You're my absolute favorite channel ☺️ Love your content.
Thankyou so much 🤗! And after watching the edit I totally agree 😮
Erin, I would love to see more 1930s celebrity inspired looks based off Max Factor’s work and techniques from you. I find the “creation” of it all so fascinating and I want a bigger peek inside your antique beauty books. 🔍👀 Plus I just adore the 1930s looks on you!!
I have an idea - to do Marlene Dietrich and follow what I’ve read about her including a tidbit from her makeup artist then😮
@@erinparsonsmakeup That sounds fantastic! Could you also do more in depth hair tutorials, or include that in the makeup videos?
I am a dark (Auburn) Brunette. Dark brown eyes. Purple has always been my “ride or die” color. Your brunette creation is fire. ✌🏻💖💄
I love purples on auburn-haired beauties!
I have dark brown hair and jade green eyes, and purple is somehow my ride or die like intense eye color, found out in my emo days with purple eyeliner smudged 😂
I’ve only just discovered this channel and I’m OBSESSED. I’m not a make up girly but I love history and old Hollywood. So knowledgeable and calming. This woman is a babe ✨
Well now I know what that brush was for in the vanity sets I got from my grandmother! There was a hair receptacle, powder box, tray, mirror, comb and a very soft brush like the one shown in the movie clip. My grandmother was born in 1902 and I loved looking through her vanity.
Omg do you still have it?! That’s incredible 🤩
Of course!! I never knew what that brush was for!
@@erinparsonsmakeup Yes, I still have them. I wish I would have kept some of her other items as well -- she always smelled like Coty Airspun when I'd kiss her cheek💕.
Now I want to start researching where I can get some vintage makeup in my area, this is incredibly interesting. As Lisa Eldridge also explains, studying all material culture including makeup is extremely important to get an idea of the zeitgeist of an era and more specifically for makeup it helps understanding the female condition in that period. Great work!
I adore Lisa so much! She is 💯 percent right 😊
I like Bésame Cosmetics, Mountain Rose Herbs (a local supplier of all things wonderful), and making my own make-up and body care products.
I’m absolutely obsessed with history, especially fashion history and cosmetic history. This really just shows that you should embrace your natural features because beauty trends totally change over time. Clara bow is one of my all time favorites but I would look silly if I tried to imitate her appeal because we aren’t the same. I’m at the point now in makeup where my goal is to artistically accentuate my features God gave me instead of masking or changing them.
The make up manages to look subtle and somewhat natural when paired with the recommended hair/eye combo, and then becomes gorgeous and bold when paired with the other colours. They all work together to look stunning, but it really swaps it from toned down to bold when you change up the hair, very mesmerizing!
As a dark skinned black woman, I'm very curious about the Spanish brunette one, not really because I think it will be good, but moreso because at a time where they lumped all people with the lightest tan together (let's be real they weren't even thinking of someone darker than light medium) did it translate to the "universal" as they thought. Having experienced something similar just in life, it rarely does because the darkness the skin tone, the more color variety there is, and as such, it becomes more complex as to what actually compliments your overall look.
I love the idea of the cake of mascara. I feel like it would last much longer.
Also, I’d love to see you do all of the steps, the blending, the lining, all of it!
Besame Cosmetics sells modern ones and they do apparently last a long long time.
I actually wanted to do it all but was worried the video would get too long 😅 I’ll keep in mind for the next one I’m working on 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup Noooo the longer the video the better with this sort of thing. It's so interesting all the way through!!!!
@@erinparsonsmakeup I would love a longer video!!!
@@erinparsonsmakeup definitely would love tips on lip lining, you're so great on changing the shape based on the era
I've done a TON of studying on Color Analysis/Color Harmony, (it's my special interest just like yours is with the history of beauty), and I wanted to quickly explain why the blonde and the deep brunette wig both worked with the brunette makeup! I have training from one of the authors of Color Me Beautiful, as well as practice doing color analysis and years of research into the subject.
Later into the history of color analysis, we see a resurgence of this trend around the 80's re-marketed as Color Seasons or "Color Me Beautiful". With this evolution of color analysis, we lean away from categorizing people by their hair color alone and start including other factors into their palette such as skin undertone and eye color, thus fitting them into a more generalized "season" palette. From the four main season categories, (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter), the Brunette makeup you tried above fits into the Winter color palette, as it contains the signature Winter traits of being Dark, Clear (or "saturated"), and Cool. While most winters have naturally deep hair like the brunette wig you chose, they can also pull off a very specific type of cool, white-blonde such as the blonde wig you chose for your comparison of the brunette makeup. This is because it's a very cool and "clear" blonde, making it fit into the Winter palette! It would not have looked so good with a more golden, warm blonde, as that hair color is more fitting for a Spring or Autumn palette.
I know that was super wordy but I just love this stuff and thought you might too! I don't know if you've ever had your color analysis done but you yourself are in fact a Winter, which is why that last look was so incredible on you. It's also why you are always so naturally drawn to outfits and color schemes that are brightly saturated and high-contrast. Your best colors will be an intense Royal Blue, a deep Blood Red, true Black and true, cool White. Love your videos so much, I hope you find this as interesting as I do!
You deserve to go viral for all the right reasons. You’re what we needed for YEARS!!!!!! Thank you for all of this
I do think the color harmony looked best as intended, while it would work for other hair colors, it really excelled as they suggested you do it. Such gorgeous looks!
I thought so too after watching it back! Really surpised me 😮
Totally agree❤️
I can not tell you how much I love your content. I love makeup and I love history by themselves but the history of makeup and how it was used and that you ACTUALLY follow it?! Freaking obsessed.
I feel the same, like there’s just not enough out there about it so here I am 😅 Thankyou!
The history lessons Erin gives are really intriguing, and the artistry of the application is interesting to watch as well! I’m a guy that doesn’t wear makeup, and love and appreciate how well these videos are done.
The last makeup look with dark hair was stunning, your eyes looked so captivating! The blond wig you wore looked grey/silver/white to me. I’m curious to see a more neutral toned blond, maybe that ashy of a color was uncommon in the 30’s? History of hair dye would be fascinating! I really enjoy your history content!! Part 2!!
Oh goodness, it is so difficult to choose a favorite on you. I agree that the purple looked great with any hair color. Maybe that’s because purple can be both warm and cool depending on how much red or blue tone it has. I would love to see you try the silver haired tutorial. I think you definitely need a silver wig in your collection 🤩 I’m enjoying these beauty history videos so much!
I never thought about that with purple, you’re so right! I am searching for a wig right now - I have to try it 😅
I have white hair. I, too, would love it.
Honestly, the blonde wig you used is close enough to silver that I think it works...or at least it's the color that you strive for when you go grey. I know that it's the color that I try for rather than a yellowish, dirty looking grey.
On to other issues, I love all your looks and the especially the last 3.
I love historical fashion and makeup especially! That’s why I’m so glad your making these videos. I would love to see some looks from the 1960s-1970s!
Oh yes! They were wildly different. I have some amazing 1960’s makeup from Twiggy. I love that they wore tons of makeup then but the 70’s , it had such a range of looks - that would be fun to get into!
Erin is what the beauty community should be! I'm a stan, in love. This is everything. Refreshing, education and just a cool ass chic. Love her passion for what she does. it's a breath of fresh air.
I can't tell you how amazing this is. I literally found your channel yesterday - and it just happened to be the same day that I finally finished putting my vanity back together after 18 months of health struggles. I am still quarantining due to said health, but I had a big meeting that *had* to be in person. It was the first time I put, even just the eye, makeup on since 2020, and it was amazing. However, there's some challenges: I have grown so very pale, more so than even just the lack of sun for 3 years (almost 4, LONG story)... I have complications with severe anemia. So finding the absolute most pale concealers and foundations has been an expensive journey, and I still haven't gotten there. But since I have to wear a mask when I go out, that's ok - I usually get by with just powder. And finally - I'm having to finally accept that I am starting my 5th decade on this Little Blue Rock - and as hard as I have tried, the years are finally starting to catch up with me. So adapting everything I know about my own skincare and makeup has kind of been turned on its head. We'll see how having access to all of my cosmetics will change things. :) Thank you for sharing so much great information.
Love this. They sure were absolutely trying it with all the rules back in the day. The girlies were doing these book tutorials looking like rainbows going to the grocery store. Love!
😂 I wonder how many really just wore rouge and lipstick. Was eyeshadow as common for street wear? Wish I could find someone to ask that lives in that time ❤
@@erinparsonsmakeup I will ask my aunt. She is 94, healthy and literally beautiful! She has her own home and car. Amazing.
@@rebahensley5323please ask her!! I’ve always wondered if women back then went makeup shopping with their friends. The way we do now?
Or was that something that started with mall culture?
@Reba Hensley omg imagine Erin following your grandmother's makeup tips/tutorial. It would be amazing!
My mom was a teen in the 70’s, when colour harmony was referred to as your ‘Season’. I’m too greedy to be limited by one palette.
Yes, seasons, I remember that!
I was in makeup school in 2007 and I remember someone figuring out our “seasons” - I remember thinking it was pretty old school at the time 😅
Color seasons are definitely still a thing
Same! My mom refers to me as basically the textbook definition of a Winter. I have pretty much all cool-toned clothing and make-up though, since I'm not a fan of warm colors anyway and they also tend to look really bad on me with the exception of plums, and some cooler shades of red and yellow...
Mimicking the eye color in eyeshadow as "harmony" is a very direct and unusual translation of seasonal color theory.
Typically it's more matching warm vs cool and muted vs bright aspects so nothing is overpowering.
Modern makeup uses color theory to create "pops" of color with contrast, which is the opposite of harmony.
I am able to use contrast within my Clear Winter season - orangey tones to make my blue-green eyes pop.
If I use a matching eyeshadow, I feel my eyes look muddy and kind of boring, so I'm not a fan of the harmony method here. I think it looks the worst on the blue eyes, here but the others are afforded some contrast that looks great.
@@AndromedaChace I agree I love the contrast I don't want to match I want to challenge the idea of wearing a color opposite of my tone, for instance I love a navy blue liner for my brown eyes, my hair is golden brown so I love a cool brown lipstick and my skin is medium alabaster so I don't really wear anything drab toned.. your right it's pop of color that looks striking.
I just recently found you I am a 53 year-old grandma I clean houses for a living and I never wear makeup. But I have to tell you you are quite possibly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen you are gorgeous naturally!!! And a personality to match!🙋😍
I want all the decades, all the colours, all the everything. You explain everything so well and as a fellow history nerd I LOVE seeing the packaging. Is there a special way you store your vintage items? As someone who works in a museum, I've wondered ever since you showed your collection in an older video.
I believe there definitely is something to color theory, you can just tell how harmoniously everything falls together, but I also believe that happiness looks best on people so wear whatever you want. Both ways is fine. I must say, my favorite was the light red, my jaw dropped, you looked SO beautiful in that color palette.
Well you’ve just got me to stay this color a little longer and not jump the gun to platinum 😂 loved your quote, that is wonderful! 👏
I'm gonna do the spanish brunette sometime this week (edit: on my south east asian complexion) and I'll tag you on tiktok!! Honestly I have about 5 of your looks bookmarked for my recreating looks using only what i own series hahahah IM OBSESSED with your looks, creativity, skills, and TALENT. OBSESSEDDD
Oh I’m so excited to see! 🤗!!
@@erinparsonsmakeup DUDE YOUR REPLY MEANS SO MUCH! I've been lowkey stalking your instagram for the last decade!!! 🥹 I hope you know what a LEGEND you are
You are a chimera! There is no look you can’t pull off! (I have just dyed my hair for the first time after 50 years of being naturally blonde. I have discovered that people are far more attached to my hair colour than I am!)
Erin, you are absolutely fabulous! I love hearing about the history of makeup, and you make it so interesting! It's so refreshing to hear about the way makeup has evolved. I adore you!
girl, your voice is literally so smart if that makes sense 💀💀 i never have to skip through like any of ur videos bc everything u talk about is just so interesting idk how to explain it lol
Considering how much of a hard time I give my editor that means a lot 😅 I’m a slow talker so I’m always like take out all my pauses. She works hard 😂❤❤
I’m not a make-up person but you make me appreciate it so much. Great content!
That means a lot Thankyou! 🤗
I’m not particularly a make up person but I LOVE your videos and shorts Erin! So fascinating and so well researched, I feel like I learn something new every time I watch!
Glad you started this channel ❤️ I love makeup videos and the 'beauty community' is not giving it, finally something educational, interesting, and glamorous ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve had all different hair colors (pink, blue, purple, fire engine red, “natural” red, black, etc, etc, etc), but I’m a natural light blonde with green eyes. For shadow, no matter what color my hair was, I’ve always played up my eyes- browns, purples, scarlets, greens.
I love when you make long form content- thank you, Erin 🙂
These looks are absolutely stunning! I loved the black and white transition between the blonde and brunette. Fascinating to see how makeup would transfer to tv back then
I can listen to people like you for hours. You are obviously an expert in your area and LOVE it. Thank you for the great content!
Watching you do makeup and having a blast has made me want to play with makeup. You make it look fun and exciting and less of a chore. Thank you for your channel!
I have natural deep auburn hair (it goes from dark strawberry blonde in the summer to nearly chestnut in winter) and eyes that people have called anything from green to blue to grey. Unlike most natural redheads my skintone is extremely light olive/yellow undertones with zero natural flush. I have intentionally only ever worn black mascara and think the brown looks sickly and unnatural on me. I get the most compliments when I wear the “wrong” makeup colors for what’s supposed to be my color harmony, and I’m so grateful to be validated by the goddess of makeup herself that (esp with the current resurgence) it’s basically total bullshit 😂💛
Yes, people don't fit in a box. So according to this color-harmony thing if you had violet eyes and dark hair like Elizabeth Taylor , what are you supposed use according to this guide?
We sound similar except my eyes are a warm brown. My eyes being brown, brown mascara gets lost on me and isn't very visible. A lot of the colors they recommend for redheads seem to be for cooler tones so they don't usually look good on me either.
@@rockygirl5690 exactly! It’s like the general perceptions of redheads is exclusively pink and cool toned- I used to model and have never once had a MUA correctly foundation match me bc they argue that because of my hair I belong in cool toned foundation. My skin is literally green in certain light it is so warm toned 😂 PS- I’m so jealous, I always wished I was one of the redheads with brown/tawny eyes, absolutely elite combo and my personal favorite 🥹❣️
Everything looks good on you❤ I never I have this much interest on vintage makeup before I watch your channel. You're truly an Icon, Queen 💅🏻
Wow that means a lot Thankyou! 🤗!
I swear I look forward to every time you post a video !! I never knew vintage makeup and it’s history would be so interesting, thank you for making it so fun and enjoyable 🫶
Also you absolutely slayed all of the colour harmony looks 😌
Really love how thorough you are with research and well spoken with ur presentation of it!! So fun to geek out on this video
Ughhh, I needed this.
I love your collection and the history behind them! Thank you so much for sharing your passion for makeup with us. ❤️
Thankyou for watching! I’m loving doing these longer videos ❤❤
@@erinparsonsmakeup and we love watching them! 👑
Love your makeup tutorials and your historical recreations! I grew up in the 50s & 60s and remember color harmony being a big thing back then as well. Nowadays makeup companies take into consideration the tone of your skin and hair, which makes a considerable difference don't you think? But when I was doing drag 30 years ago, I abided by those guidelines; for blonde hair and blue eyes, blue-grey eyeshadow, a pinkish blush and a deep rose lipstick. Plus big black false lashes and an overdrawn lip line, a la Joan Crawford and her Hunter's Bow lip shape. Cheers~
Omg you are beyond fabulous! If you happen to be on Instagram please tag me with your drag looks! I am overjoyed to know you did drag during that time!! 🤩
You are the absolute best. I'm obsessed with your videos! So glad you started making them ❤️
omg!! i have been thinking about this topic a lot recently!! i’m all for breaking style/makeup rules, however, i also think it’s REALLY helpful to know which colors and styles will naturally compliment your face. i wish more people discussed this in general. its so cool to see what they were saying in the 30s!
I definitely am not about rules with makeup but certainly was interesting to see how certain combinations were truly flattering 😮 so glad you enjoyed! Now you have to try 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup yesss!!!! ❤️❤️
This is all so fascinating. I have always been challenged by color harmony because I’m golden blond/brown hair, blue/green/grey eyes, and fair skin with olive undertones. Certain colors change my eye color, and really light powders look weird on me because of my olive tones. I have found makeup that works for me, but always love to try new things. Love all your content!
You're so beautiful! I just adore your content: the glamour, the education, the aesthetic and your delivery....amazing! ❤🎀💄
You are so informative, professional, and enthusiastic! I could binge watch your videos forever! ♥️
I adore this channel!! And even more so, the long videos. The vintage aesthetic really warms my soul. Thank you for sharing your collection and knowledge with us 💕
I'm always overwhelmed when I watch any of your videos. The beauty, talent and inspiration comes at me from so many different angles-- kapow! What an extraordinary woman. Thanks Erin for sharing your passion, talent and inspired Self with us all. 🤯🥰💘
You inspire me in so many ways! There are no words! Bravo! Please keep doing this!! Love you
I love this channel and your personality is just refreshing. Zero vanity, just a passion for the looks. Bravo.
Love how true to the times you did this makeup, I'd live to see a 70's makeup tutorial.
I discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago and it is truly amazing how much history make up can have, you look great too! So interesting to see what were the beauty standards back in the day, keep on the great content!✨
Thankyou! I’ll def try to post more often 🤗
So wonderful! You just took me back to being a little girl dressing up in my Nana's high heels and her "doing my makeup"/watching her do her makeup!!! She literally used the EXACT same steps for rogue & lipstick which wereher #1s!!! Wonderful! Thank you! ✨️
I am loving the videos you have been making! Thank you for sharing so much of your collection and knowledge!
Keep these coming please!! Best beauty videos in a very long time here on YT! It's different, it's fascinating, and it's history. I'm loving your channel! You can't tell by my profile pic (I'm not wearing makeup in it lol) but I am a lifelong makeup lover, and at 51, I'm finding that the history of beauty and makeup is even more fascinating than just slapping it on. It's always interesting to find out where trends came from and how products have evolved over time. Thank you so much for giving us this important history lesson and adding something new and unique and special to the YT beauty space! 💄❤️
P.S. Would love to see you do 60's, 70's and definitely 80's looks.
What a thoughtful and lovely message ❤ Thankyou! I will certainly take all three of those suggestions 😅 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup you're most welcome! Honestly, your content is a breath of fresh air in an oversaturated industry just looking to push products on the consumer. Its exhausting. I'm so looking forward to all your future videos! 😊
Your videos are so fun. Much needed creativity + positive escapism for today's world.
It truly allows me to escape too so thanks for indulging me 😅 🤗!
YESSS I've been waiting for a new video!! I don't even wear makeup, but your passion and knowledge just utterly intrigues me!!
I don't wear nor do I do makeup but I am absolutely obsessed with your channel!! I just love the artistry creativity and the history of your videos!
So fun to watch. I loved seeing Gloria Stuart in your vintage makeup book.
The green eyeshadow looks fab on you!
Man u are so FUN and INTERESTING to watch! TYSM FOR ALL UR HARD WORK! WE LOVE AND APPRECIATE U GIRL!
Erin you are so beautiful. You look like a Hollywood star.😊 The platinum hair on you looks gorgeous. All the hair colors look fab as well as your natural black hair. Really loved the green shadows on you. I'm so glad you said" hey if you have blue eyes then wear blue eyeshadow". I used to do that when I was a young teenager and a few girls made fun of me. Now I feel like there are very few " don't ever do that" situations when it comes to makeup. It should be fun and make us feel good about ourselves. I rarely ever wear makeup & don't wear it more than 1 handful of times a year for the last 35 yrs I'd say. That said I do love makeup and your knowledge of makeup is impressive & so interesting.
*moves across the country, has panic attack in seedy motel, sees EP has put up a new video, starts applying lipstick* It’s so good to see someone so deserving of her position in life to have it!
Lol thought I was the only one having panic attacks in seedy motels !
You were sort of meditating in a way there. I know this a ‘jokey’ comment from a time when you felt stressed, but I like to think that you really did get a bit of inner calm come over you as you focused on something that interested you, and soothed yourself by using your lipstick, taking control over what stimuli you could while in a situation you weren’t 100% happy in.
That’s really lovely if that’s the case, choosing to self-soothe and yes maybe you might have felt silly so you left a jokey comment but I don’t think it’s silly to want to do what comforts you when you’re stressed and I think it’s important to be able to self-soothe and be as unashamed as possible of what brings us a little calm or happiness as long as we aren’t hurting anyone or ourselves. Do what ya gotta do! 😸
Hope things are less stressful for you now :)
Really looking forward to this. I am an oldie 👵🏻 but never to old to learn. I love your videos and shorts .
Beauty is from within and you have it in bucket loads .
I admire so much what you do.
As i said i am an oldie and i love my makeup , it has changed through the years but i still love leaving my home knowing i have tried to look my best.
Ps i LOVE green eyeshadow in all shades.
Thank you for your videos and thank you for being you , you are beautiful inside and out.

Oh please tell me in which decade we’re you a teen or in your 20’s? I’m so curious what the makeup was like in that moment 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup Early 50,s and i remember my mum using rouge in a round cardboard box and the black ashes from the coal fire to darken the eyebrows and lashes , and squeezy hairspray that was like glue round the top. When i was allowed to wear makeup ( middle 60,s ) it was all about the big hair big lashes etc as you know, either that or the flower power look. I remember drawing butterflies on the side of my eyes. The 70,s were good and my favourite lipstick of all time was by Miss Selfridge in Copper Knockers and Iron Maiden. The colours were beautifull . And i loved Miners makeup . The 80's were great 90's too fast forward to 2023 and i still love my makeup. I just wish i could have wore red lipstick it made me look so harsh and i have always envied anyone who can wear it.🌻
@@Sunflower-wq6re wowwww butterflies! I adore you!! I’m gonna search for those lipsticks - also I have some miners makeup, they had the coolest eyelashes! Thanks so much for all the info, you sound so fabulous! You don’t need that red 🤗
Thank you so much, by the way the lipstick was Iron Lady not Iron Maiden ! Everyone in the UK wore those two lipsticks in the 1970's i wish they still made them i would certainly still wear them now .
Loved the video 🤗
Keep sharing all this vintage/historical beauty content I'm obsessed!!! I've been following you on Insta for a while so I'm glad you're doing longer format videos here on YT!
I am absolutely obsessed with these intimate lessons, I feel like I’m in the studio with you! You’re a gem, don’t stop! 💅
UA-cam university Beauty community needed you! So grateful for all your videos! I truly enjoy your content !!
woo i'm early! hey this is so cool, I love seeing 30's style guides in COLOR! I'm honestly shooketh over how pigmented some of these products were.
It is wild! 😮 and so bright!
@@erinparsonsmakeup I do have a question for you, because I know from watching your makeup collection video you did have some items from later on, like 70s/80s makeup. So with vintage beauty, I know especially the early 1900s-1960s there was a typical beauty "standard" of looking, but as you get into the 70s there's more of a branching off of different styles. Would you ever be interested in doing a video about the emergence of subculture/counterculture makeup? Like early punk/goth looks? I mostly ask because I would just love to see you recreate siouxsie sioux's makeup haha. If not that's totally ok! Might inspire me to do it myself I've been trying to come up with ideas for my own vids too so if anything just watching yours has been very inspiring 😊
I just adore your videos. I was so excited to see you uploaded a longer one🙌🙌
Hi Erin! I absolutely cannot get enough of your content!! Keep them coming! You’re one of a kind ❤️❤️❤️
In my Teenage years , I HATED makeup. Idk if it was internalised Misogyny or the fact no one really teaches us Self-care, Etiquettes and Womanhood but I was really proud (🙄) of being a Tom boy.
Now as a Young Adult, I've learnt alot from Vintage Content Creators. I've learnt the beauty and simplicity of life , modesty , Thrifting , Elegance and Self-care ,and Ofcourse Beauty secrets. In this age where everyone says " Be yourself" no one truly teaches how to be Ourselves. So I owe alot to all the "Vintage" Creators for teaching me Womanhood. THANK YOU🌷.
I'm sad there was no blue eyes brunette in the book. 😭 But I loved the video regardless! I really enjoy the history of makeup type videos.
Love! Love! Love it all!! Seriously!! Thank you for staying true to your passion and bringing these looks to life! 💕
You are perfect. You read beauty books so thoroughly and always share what you find. I love all your different looks and watch you as often as time allows. You are by far a true make up artist and your collection of vintage make up, perfume is wonderful to watch. Keep up the good work and your videos.
You are my favorite in UA-cam I have learned so much from you hun ❤
Oh Thankyou! 🤗 so much more to come!
I love greens and purple, stil were it with silver hair. My eyes hazel-green.
Can you please do a silver wig? And the best make up for grey woman.
I’m going to order one now! I’d love to try actually 🤗
I really really love your UA-cam channel ! As I am a big fan of "old remedies" and homemade make up, your channel is both entertaining and educational ! Thank you ❤
Thank you! I find this all fascinating! Love the history and seeing the vintage colors. I remember when I was a little girl my grandmother had a small tin of rouge that had a little powder puff that you used to put it on. This was in the 70s, but that tin looked much older and the color was a pretty vivid bright pink.
where can i buy the book? also ur so pretty when u do vintage
I just added the links 🤗! And Thankyou that’s so sweet!
I LOVE how you appreciate makeup history. And you look stunning in every look you tried! 💋💋
I absolutely loved this! 😍 You rock every look! ❤️
I freaking love your channel and I hope you keep cranking these out. Thank you for sharing all of your knowledge and expertise! I’m over here taking notes and hanging on every word!!!! 🤩
I recently saw your video, and I really liked it! I'm blind to all things about make-up, but I really enjoy to see your video. Please don't be stressed about how long, how short the video etc.
Thank you for sharing all of this information. I love all your videos!!
I love your content, my two favourite things history and beauty, everything you bring in your videos, so needed on UA-cam
I love it; we have this impression that things were so refined and restrained, back in the day, and then we realise how very wrong we are!!
The last time I remember seeing colour matching was the nineties; I have a feeling that it's going to resurface pretty soon, marketed as a 'revolution' in the way we do cosmetics
You are the sole reason I started being interested in beauty UA-cam again💗 this is amazing quality content and I hope you know how much you are revolutionizing this part of UA-cam
