- I've found an extensive girls' grooming guide from the 40's, and I'm going to try to follow the tips! Some of the beauty tips are a little dated (as can be expected), but there's a lot of very valuable advice in here as well. Let's take a look!

So thats why i have bags under my eyes. Too much swing music at bedtime!
P Heart and I can’t stop writing letters at night. Literally 😂
Huh so THATS my problem! The more you know!😂
MariannaK I do have difficulties with writing correspondence (although it’s mostly transmitted electronically as opposed to traditional postal mail) late at night.
🤣🤣🤣👍
It can be an addiction lol
amazing. my mom was a teenager in the 1940s. she is 94 now and has ALWAYS used Ponds to clean her face morning and night. she never bothered with eye makeup but never goes out without lipstick on. she really is a product of her time.
Wow interesting. Btw if your mom was a teen in the 1940s she would be in her 80s right now.
purplelove010 she was born in 1924 so in 1940 she was 16. She graduated high school in 1942
oh wow. i wish i had a chance to talk with your mom, she sounds like such an interesting lady
purplelove010 I’m sure they know how old their own mom is
I adore older women, they have the BEST tips and tricks. They're from a different more feminine time.
I love that last message too! "It's better to be an original, than a copy". That hits so hard especially because today the media seems to want you to fit into a mold rather than making yourself the best you! Today's society tells you "beauty is pain" when it used to be "health is the foundation of beauty". I think we all need to remember this! Thank you for bringing this to our attention! you really are helpful ❤❤❤
She said the word posture and I sat straight up like a rod!
I did it a second time when I read your comment
I read ur message and did the same
I think this hair style really suits you.
I agree, very pretty. It's nice to have different looks now and then. Nice video!
Loved the look!
Nahh
@@nm9688 yess
that tip about music in bed is incredibly relevant nowadays
Yup, not just music though, the whole phone LoL
Substitute UA-cam for swing music
You are lovely. Much of your beauty is the sparkle in your eyes and the smile along with the happy personality. All things that will keep you loved all your life through skin and hair changes.
Wanda Pease I was about to express the same exact sentiment, although probably not as charmingly as you did.
The makeup was probably minimal because she was directing it to teens? It may have been inappropriate for them to wear eye makeup etc. It still looks nice though!
They didn’t wear much eye makeup back then outside of the movies. It was all lipstick, rouge, and powder.
My grandma and her sisters didn' t wear any eye make up , only lipstick and brows . My mother instead , who was a teenager in the sixties , used more eye make up ( not eye liner though ) .
I think that hairstyle flattered you quite a lot
When the woman started roasting you about the round face “donts” 😂
See, here's the thing: I think you already elongate your face without even trying, because your long hair creates a vertical line.
I was thinking the same thing. And the bangs offset the 'roundness' so I think her hairstyle is perfect for her.
But wouldn’t the bangs shorten her face?
@@TheBaumcm yes, but like Abigail said, she already creates that vertical line with her long hair. I'm not a stylist though, this is just a personal opinion :D
I definitely love these old beauty tutorials, it’s about the whole person not just face or makeup
I'm so glad the speaker insisted on saying that health comes first. Women being told that they focus too much on appearance is still a pervasive, insidious problem and a damaging mixed message. Women's worth today (I live in the US) is still primarily, if not solely, based on looks. Thus, women are taught to put in much more effort; we're also criticized for putting in effort, whether the fashionable phrase is 'too focused on appearance/weight', 'too high maintenance', or 'makeup is false advertising'. Wear whatever the hell you want and make yourself happy first. Let's get out of the mixed-messages rat race.
Also, what hairstyle to wear for a round face? A flat top lolololololololol
you look so good without eyeshadow or concealer! I have dark circles but on you, your natural pigment looks like eyeshadow! it accentuates your eyes in a pretty way. To me, i would think you already had eyeshadow on!
I thought the exact same thing. I look completely plain and colourless without make-up, whereas she has that natural wearing-just-a-bit look without wearing any at all. Beautiful.
I love how natural people used to be, just brought out their own beauty rather than completely painting on a face
You are one of the nicest people on UA-cam! I love the warmth of your smile and just how kind and sweet you are! Thank you for making such fun to watch videos!
I think that blush placement is gorgeous on you!!
it has to be taken into account that it was post war era, so perhaps the lack of make-up is due to the lack of money
No. From the 1800s to the The post war era, obvious make up was considered immoral.
Makeup was restricted/rationed in the US during wartime. Only red lipsticks were regularly available. Makeup companies switched to combat camouflage makeup for the troops.
@@tweetiepie551 Except 1940s women openly wore makeup. Shoot, the 1920s women loved it.
@@MsAngelique I said obvious make up. And 1940s women were too busy avoiding bombs,clearing up rubble that used to be their house,struggling to make 2oz of butter last a week for a family if 5 to put make up as a priority.be careful when thinking that 1940s women were the same in America and Europe.they weren't.
or the fact these are SCHOOL/WORK looks not going out on the town
just proof that you are beautiful when youu feel beautiful. the hygiene/nutrition/excercise is helpful, but the beauty tips are definately personal
I clearly wouldn't mind if those videos were also half an hour long vintage and historical beauty guides are my favorite videos
I just came across your channel and spent the evening binge watching. You are sweet and funny and I love that you don't offer a hint of criticism or disdain for these old styles and ideas. Thank you for making these very enjoyable videos.
I actually really liked the effect of the v-neck and the little poof of hair at the top--although I think the flat temples took it a bit too far.
Amazing video
That Mary is nice, but this Mary would like to add some tips for face shapes.
Instead of trying to conceal or "change" your face shape, here are some tips to "beautify" your face shape without changing it:
For round faces, long hair actually looks awesome, as well as bangs because you have "room" to add them to your face. For example, longer hair tends to pull down face shapes and make your face look longer. People with round faces can afford to style this way, though, because their face is perfectly squidgy enough to do so. (Is it obvious yet that I also love round faces? Too bad I have an oval shape,. Speaking of...)
For oval faces, apparently anything looks good. I disagree. I look miserable with pulled back hair looks as it makes me look like a horse. "Why the long face?" and all that. However, I think people with oval faces look awesome with long hair styled in waves or curls as it widens the face and adds dimension without changing your shape.
Square faces are too often neglected in women as some think they are "too manly". I think they are perfect for side bangs and texture. Soft curls that face away from the face show off their amazing jawlines, as well. PS: a dark red hair colour always looks good on square faces. Don't ask me why or how, I don't know, it just does.
Heart face shapes are so freakin' pretty, ugh! They look stunning with deep side bangs, straight hair, and high ponytails. Personally, I also think heart shapes look amazing in dark colours like black or dark blue.
Oh wow! I have a square (or at least square'ish) face, and I've always told hair dressers I need to have hair either swept across one eye or side bangs, cause I look kinda silly otherwise and I just recently began curling my hair with a flattening iron (away from the face in front) and dyed my hair dark red and was shocked at how much better I look! You're supernatural, man :D
I'm so with you Lucy on being against rules for styling yourself based on your face shape. I have a heart shaped face and everything tells me to down play my wide forehead and pointed chin but i love them.
Unpopular opinion: I think the heart shape is the ideal face shape and no one can change my mind.
they aren't "rules"..it's a science. If you want to create the illusion of a different face shape this is how to do so and it is a proven fact that some things fare better on certain shapes, sizes, etc. It's not saying your face shape is wrong so change it..its giving tips based on facial structure. Also every era has things that are considered "in" like bushy eyebrows or the thin ones from the 1930s, or how now the long lashes and plump lips are "in"...if you're comfortable with yourself great but if you have personal "unflattering" features and wish to conceal them without plastic surgery this is great advice to follow. Most teens are cliquish and want to fit in so whatever is in vogue will set the "beauty standards". This video kind of alludes to that since the lady keeps reassuring girls to be comfortable with themselves and not just do it to fit in so she covered all the bases flawlessly IMO. People now just don't like constructive criticism and we are in the individualist age where everyone is told everything goes, everyone is beautiful, obesity is okay, feminism bullshit etc. so there's no real pressures to fit a certain standard or put in the effort to reach a specific ideal. Women have gotten lazy and its easier to get defensive and dismissive when your appearance is brought into question rather than taking heed and taking the extra steps to look your absolute best and reach your best potential. I personally like changing my look, trying different things, accentuating or downplaying certain features depending on the occasion etc. Again there are no set "RULES" other than those set by nature on your body but there are FORMULAE to alter and "bend" said rules if desired or necessary
@@semiramisbonaparte1627 The person you're replying to is simply saying she loves her own face shape and doesn't think there's a REASON to alter it to fit some "ideal" that other people came up with. Who says the oval shape is ideal anyway? What's unflattering to some is not unflattering to others. Tips like this are meant to get your face closer to some composite average face type that someone, somewhere decided was ideal, but that doesn't take away from the fact that what is "ideal" is different from person to person. I think some extreme face types, like the square shape found on Olivia Wilde, or the heart shape found on Christina Ricci or Reese are beautiful, and it would seem outlandish to me to suggest they ought to work on smoothing out their edges to look more oval.
I have a round face, but have always thought that a "heart-shaped" face is very beautiful! Why would anyone change it?
Vanishing cream is not foundation. My mom told me younger women didn't really use foundation back then. They also skipped the dark lipsticks.
zencat55 I wondered about the “vanishing cream” portion.
I’m so glad you are doing these videos. It is really neat to see what ideas have carried forward into present day and what has changed.
These videos are amazing! Thanks for doing them, they are so interesting and have a lot of very nice info, not to mention the look we can have at older times and see that a lot of things are quite the same, please, do it always if you can :)
I think your original hair shape flatters you more! It does enhance your round face but not in a negative way. I think your hair style is lovely!
I think this is the only tutorial which says “be yourself, everybody is different and not a copy” I just love it
i really your eyes without concealer or anything ! it’s like you have natural eyeshadow, honestly doesn’t look like you are tired
eyes look best without concealer
I absolutely love the full video, it's so interesting!
This video is SO GOOD. I find it very interesting; it has relevant tips even to 2018. Absolutely love that you followed it ❤️
I have an oval face and always wished I had a round one. I feel sometimes like I have soooo much forehead. But I've made peace with it.
I'll admit, my posture was pretty bad all the way through high school, and then I got into martial arts in college and actually gained over an inch in height because my posture had improved so much. What's funny is that once you get used to good posture, bad posture literally causes pain.
And your round face is sweet and adorable, don't change!
On a side note, when I first showed an interest in makeup, my mother took me to a Dillard's, specifically the Clinique counter, and had the woman there give me advice/instruction. She told me NOT to wear my makeup like hers, that she was paid to wear it that heavily, but that I should always remember that makeup is for accentuating your natural features, NOT to make a new face. I always try to remember that.
I remember, as a child, watching my grandmother apply lipstick before church. She applied it exactly the way you did here. Ah, the memories. ☺️
100% you look better with bangs :D in fact, I think in general bangs go great on round faces...but that's just me! I love these types of videos, hope you get to make more! :D xoxo
So people 50 or 60 years later people will look at our tutorials and say “wait they didn’t have this 50 years ago? Must’ve been hard”
I really like your hair pulled back but I also like it when your bangs are down. You are lucky in that you can pull anything off. Great video!
This instructor is really interesting and i like her. She has a lot of good general points. Stay clean, eat, stay active and all of that itself is good advice..
The make up tips were sound for the time. Esp for teenagers.. and with what they knew. What they liked .. and the products available. Also this is directed towards teens. I love it. A really good make up tutorial lol.
And i was looking at ur face in other videos before seeing this.. you do have one of the roundest faces i have ever seen. You can wear or do whatever you like. Just like she said you can be original. But she was giving tips to enhance your features. And the neck linr and hair style does compliment you. Makes you look very pretty.
Lucy, you look amazing with your hair in a ponytail 😮 I have to say I watched your other vintage makeup tutorials and always thought you look better when you pulled your fringe (I think Americans call them bangs) off your face. It opens it up more. It also shows off your lovely eyes even more. I have a round face too and my hairdresser explained that having a fringe makes your face length even shorter because you're blocking off one third of your face. Love your videos x
She's my favorite hahaha. I just saw the shortened version of this and the powder part kills me with laughter. I enjoyed your video! Yes the make up tutorial is so dated but some can be applied today.
I think you could make that hairstyle work if you lower the height of the puff on top a bit. There's the saying "less is more". Happy I found your videos! Love them!
Bad posture = weak back muscles. Have the same problem, so started training and strengthen the back and shoulders, and after three weeks the posture is so much better 😁👍🏻
I find this very interesting, thank you for your perspective as we learn from the past
I love Mary from the video. Shes like a stern aunt who really loves you but needs to give you a talking to for your own good. Overall I feel like the advice is good too. Take care of yourself, be yourself, be your best self. I watch this one when I get down. Mary always perks me up.
I really enjoy this series so I'm so glad you uploaded another video following vintage beauty tutorials. I don't know if you know this but if you go on the glamourdaze website you can find print vintage makeup tutorials from magazines which could be fun to try out :)
I think the tri-dot method might have worked if you actually put the nose one to the left of the pupil one like they showed in the video. This was such a cool video; I love this concept!
I wish they would still give these types of classes in school..
You look lovely, maybe a more 1940s high hairstyle like curls on top, victory rolls or even bumper bangs would make you feel better about the shape? xD idk you look great either way :).
They did right by you. We see the advice is timeless.
It works. Both are flattering to you. The second on you looked good
The video that you watched is one of my favorites. It is so silly and wonderful all at the same time.
I think this looks lovely! The hairstyle frames your face well - but I also like your normal hair shape as well.
If clean, clear skin is the true key to physical beauty than I'm ugly for life.
personally, I believe that the most important for all those rules of how you should present based on your shape should be more seen like "how stuff affect your appearence and what to choose to show how you want to be seen" I feel like it's quite outdated for everyone to try and emulate ovale face and hourglass shape, but it's important to know how you could do it if you want to. I think the kibbe body type test is quite interesting to look at and to see how you could emphasis or subdue certain parts of your shape
Honestly it’s so true about beauty sleep or at least for me, I used to force myself to be asleep by 10-10:30 so I would wake up having at least 8 hours of sleep, now with work and school I get about 4 hours and I never experienced bad bags under my eyes or discoloration until I started going to bed so late💀😭 definitely need to get my sleeping back on track!!
This series is kinda my favorite thing
I love your very practical and entertaining Video .... Thank you very much
I love you so much.I try the hair style and now I wear to church and they love it 😍
Awwwn i loved what the woman said at the end of the class so empowering
Seriously you are so beautiful and so genuine you look stunning no matter what the look or style...... Your warmth and beauty shines through no matter what...... Love your content I have always been a student of history and i love the way you fully emerse yourself again please keep the content coming can't get enough..... Lots of love 💖 and big hugs 🤗 from Ohio
wow this transformation suits you
your face was looking nice
I literally turn this video on when I need my butt kicked into picking my space back up! I love seeing your face react to all her quips. She's a little bit savage here and there, lmao!
I like both your usual and the vintage hairstyles on you. The vintage one needs a poodle skirt to finish off the look. Thank you for doing this video. I can now see the difference better than the drawings.
So amusing and amazing to watch this guide from 40s! That's really nice, thank you
Best thing about this video was watching you react to the video :) You are so so lovely.
Beyond the ideas of good health being the foundation for beauty, I like the analogy about icing and cake because to me, it's more about inner beauty vs outer beauty; the cake itself being your personality and joy and love, and the icing being the superficial qualities like dyed hair and makeup. If the cake isn't good, you'll soon lose interest in the "icing".
Loepsie! You're so close to 500,000!
Enjoying your videos... facial expressions are priceless!
I have more of an oval face and I actually like round or heart shaped faces better!
That was a lot of fun, and I agree with you on the hair style! Although Mary thought you should look a particular way, it didn't account for personality. You are such a delightful young womman. 😊
I love how you get all exited at the whole thing... I mean me too but your expressions are so cute hahahh
Gotta say Mary seems a little uptight, but I like that she seems to value taking care of your clothes and shoes, polishing them, fixing holes and tears... I'm old fashioned in that respect.
I have round face and double chin and I never wear my hair up because it accentuates my face shape and lack of neck to chin deviation.
I mean... it does make your face look more oval, but if you don't like it then what is the point? Also, my grandma was in elementary to middle school during the 40s. When she worked she wore SO MUCH BLUE EYESHADOW! She's a blond with blue eyes.
I've watched all of those videos, I always enjoy them
I agree, round faces are very cute. Who needs to be an oval when you can be a circle?
This was around World War 2. So rationing of many products was still happening. A minimalist/utilitarian style was taken at that time with everything. It occurred with things like food, clothing, personal goods, hygiene, and transportation. (Just to name a few.) Women would even draw a line on the backs of their legs to look like their hosiery.
I love the 40's style and the way they did their makeup!
When you completed the minimal makeup (which greatly influenced my mom & her mother) you looked like Snow White, so pretty. Later, with your hair up you did look fantastic but we also like your daily look too. You have the very desirable large facial features so many women want-big eyes, full lips, and a good nose. Thank you!
I'm here, just to hear your voice. Is incredible.
its crazy how the way we speak is so different
Following Mary's advices makes you look like a school teacher. It suits you well :)
I think your makeup looks beautiful after the makeup part of the tutorial! No need for concealer or anything else.
You remind of Evie (the original Evie) in The Mummy. And your Mary approved hair do looks great on you
I thought she reminded me of someone.....definitely she does look like Evie😊
I like the V neck, but I kind of hate the hair. I've seen that video before, and I thought it had surprisingly good advice
Tutorials given by women: positive tells girls to be themselves and teaches them to be healthy
Tutorials given by men: if you have a round face you will bring dishonor to your family
Dishonor to your cow, dishonor to everyone at the village
I think the V-neck really suits you though ☺️
I love that this retro tutorial has been colorized.
You look so cool with this hairstyle and no bangs! The advice really works! Not to be offensive, you are pretty anyways, but I personally love the “advised” hair better!
I think that hairstyle works for you!
Congratulations! You just got a new subscriber. I love vintage make up too
I have a round head as well. My siblings used to call me Charlie Brown Head when I was little 😂. I love you! You’re incredibly adorable 😘
What about a little height on top but still down? Like a half do? You’d still get the benefit of the length but not so severe. I actually look really severe with a hairstyle like that so a half up looks much prettier.
Haha! I remember watching this about a year ago and thinking the same thing: the girl with the "wrong" hair looked better than the girl with the "right" hair. 😄 Funny how times change!
Your finished look really looked beautiful! But, you are naturally beautiful...you don't need to make yourself up at all.
PLEASE tell me where you got your wonderful glasses. They really suit you!!
Could you do a beauty beacon for freddie mercury? I know that he was male but it would still be awesome if you did a beauty beacon for him
A bit more fullness above the temples so the pouf didn’t stand up so much would have worked better? But hey, like you said, it’s the 21st century,we’ve moved on 😂
Andy! What are you doing in these here UA-cam comments? 😂
About face shapes it always frustrates me that make up tutorials are trying to disguise us. "If your face is long you have to... " "if your face is square then... " like, why do you want us all to look the same? Same face, nose, eyes shape?! I love that you respect the charm on everyone
I like the hairstyle, and the v neck, beautiful!
