These are actually new but ancient techniques/ products. You can find the lip papers on Etsy and the Beni sometimes the Kyobeni museum sells on eBay. Pricey but it’s handcrafted and takes so many safflowers to create ❤ 🤗
@@erinparsonsmakeup Erin! Thank you for sharing the info you come across on this subject! Id like to thank you for genuinely sharing your passions and knowledge ❤
My mother in law is Chinese and she’s constantly gifting me traditional makeup. I use it almost every day and it makes her so happy when I tell her I’ve finished a product because then she goes and buys me more. The packaging is so cute, and the powder is still better than the commercial brands.
@@VisulC they did. I don't know about you but I do understand korean dramas made all those lip paper scenes in honor of that same exact cosmetic item.
I'm glad to see so many people know about Japanese beni! This beni is from a store called Yojiya. Aburatorigami (oil absorbent paper) is famous. Please stop by when you come to Japan!
That green-ish highlight comes frm the safflower pigment. It shows up only if the lipcolor is done in little-enough amount of water. Coz the lip pigment is very expensive, it is said that the red color with this highlight is only for wealthy ppl. And it used to be considered a very high-fashioned trend back then in the mid to late Edo era in Japan.
You better hope that "green-ish" shimmer is safflower and Not MERCURY which gave the Exact Same Shimmer to the Red Staining Mercurochrome once used as an antiseptic!☠️☠️☠️
as a legit east asian art historian... i cannot stress enough HOW SATTISFYING it is that you did your research and bought original handcrafted material! Also it just made me so happy to see that you used the right "tools" for applying aka the brush!!!! Amazing video like always erin (and i'm off to purchase some for myself!)✨☺️
does that Sheen stay? Because I just look these products up. And I'm really considering buying them. And I just wanted to know if that beautiful golden hue is mixed throughout! Or if it's just on top. the brush comes with it.
@Lu Qiao this particular beni lipstick is manufactured in Japan. Safflower was used in ancient Chinese makeup too, but this lipstick still been made using traditional methods in Japan since at least the mid-Edo period.
Soon as I saw that color I thought of those so called Chinese beetles that are in the USA. Do you know what I'm talking about they have that same shiney green color. Soo beautiful..
@@xtiebro those beetles are THE WORST! They do have a beautiful sheen but try growing any flowers in the Midwest! I’d try growing roses or anything and they were NOT cheap. Go outside they would get destroyed those things would be piled on each other. Sorry this brought back some angry memories of evil shiny oil slick rainbow beetles 🪲
Ahhh it's just another form of protein.... and the way things are going with climate change eating bugs is gonna be the norm in another decade or so🤷♀️
As a Japanese,I really appreciate that you introduced my country’s culture to the world. Usually Edo people used to Beni on their lips thinly so it looked various shades of red(depending on their original lip color). The golden green color(Tamamushi-iro玉虫色)which we can see in this video was the proof of wealth for Kabuki actors or courtesans in Edo period. It means they can use plenty of Beni. Some ladies used Sumi(solid black ink for example 松煙墨,油煙墨 etc.)to deepen the color instead of thick layered Beni. I really like all of your videos! I aslo acquired an interest in ancient Chinese cosmetics,thanks to you!
And thank you for appreciating that other cultures using and admiring different cultures is beautiful and a compliment. Not another thing to cast hatred and division and claiming ‘cultural appropriation’ (I loathe that term!!)
@@lollipopsfordays3610 its just the way people approach it, if you just take it as style points, without appreciating the origin or culture behind it, thats appropriating, if you listen to the people within the culture, thats appreciating
I wanted a real jar of kyoubeni for years but could never justify the price... Eisen paintings were so beautiful and understated, I wanted something luxurious like this, too. I ended up having to layer a bright yellow-green powder over red lipstick. It isn't the same at all. If you can afford real beni, please buy it so there is demand for more artists to make it.
My mom was born in ‘62. She’ll sometimes recall seeing her older aunts and cousins using these unique makeup sets from like the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. She says she remembers seeing them apply eyeliner with thin long brushes. She says she remembers another aunt taking out a compacted pink disk she would place over boiling water, the steam would loosen the makeup. Then they’d apply it on her cheeks. It was blush! Says she remembers my grandma mixing a lipstick paste with a few drop of hot water. Then applying it with a brush!! After they’d finish their product after all those decades they’d complain that makeup wasn’t what it used to be!
Oh wow! That green reflect is so intense. At first I thought you were shining a green light on the pot for some reason. I didn’t realize it was so intensely duochrome. That’s amazing
@@MermaidMakes I've got a black lipstick that reflects red and purple, and a purple that reflects red and blue, but neither of them are as intense as this stuff...
This really reminds me of my grandma days. She use the red paper lipstick thingy on her wedding. Her feet was binded (my mum said that when removing cloth to help her wash feet....the smell almost make her faint hahaha). Back then her wedding, she had to borrow jewelry from neighbours because they couldn't afford.
oml i feel awful for her.. foot binding was such a beyond horrific thing - breaking their toes when they’re a young toddler or child and then painfully shoving it around their foot and tying it and making it impossible to walk correctly at all or without pain, barbaric is an understatement.
I wrote a paper on Chinese footbinding for a women's studies class years ago and WOW..the things women do in ALL CULTURES to fit unattainable standards when we are already so wonderfully made..fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!
I still have the papers from my grandmother when I lived back home. There are still a decent number of older artisans who still make makeup in the old ways and it’s beautiful to watch.
I am kinda angry that we don't have them anymore, there is something about refillable makeup and lipstic papers. Like rn when I buy makeup I feel like a toddler buying cheap water colour coz of how plastic it is :C
As an Asian, most of the comments are true. We pass down lots of ancient makeup recipes from generations to generations. You can even go get some at online stores or any irl stores in Asia if you want some.
@@rachellim5037 This is a product of a shop called "Yojiya(よーじや)" which is famous for Japanese blotting sheet, and you can originally get it for about 118 dollars. However, this lipstick is only made during the winter to protect its color and quality, and unfortunately it is not sold now. sorry if it's weird because I'm translating.
Curse of the Golden Flower is an excellent Chinese drama film starring Gong Li as the empress, and she wears a lip look very similar to this, red with gold shimmer on top.
she also played Hatsumomo in the american movie Memoirs of a Geisha (absolutely incredible movie, and even better book, HOWEVER, very very embellished, and written by a white man, still recommend, but with an enormous grain of salt when you read the culture stuff)
translation: Isn't that the really expensive/high quality one!? Pretty~! The Japanese language regularly omits pronouns, so machine translations often get confused with which pronouns to use.
Do you know many times can you use the paper? Like once each side or does it dry and sustain the color so you can use the same side maybe a few times? Asian beauty is so fascinating to me and aesthetically pleasing more than any other cultures hands down!
I love all the cool vintage makeup products you try out on your channel. Makeup has come so far even since the 80s!! Thank you for sharing your passion with the world❣😘💋💋
I now am obsessed with the golden green red lip. Are these 2 products still made and available for the average person to locate for purchase or are they from yout vintage/historic makeup collection?
Wow, that's a shame, to b obsessed with anything like this, especially vanity and makeup. Instead of finding new ways to paint ur face u should read a book. Beauty fades, but intellect is immortal.
But you could achieve this look with pressed or loose duo chrome/multi chrome pigment on top of a red lipstick! Etsy has every color you could dream of!
So beautiful. I love that You showcase not only eurocentric beauty standards that are so prevalent but also take time to research and show Your audience something we otherwise wouldn't be able to easily access and read about (language barrier and the likes). ❤️ I was always mesmerised by Japanese and Chinese craftsmanship and unique takes on beauty.
I’m obsessed with your videos. I tried one of the hairstyles you’ve tried and I looked just like my grandmother in a good way. Her hair was so beautiful and always perfect. ❤❤ She used to do my hair and so it was really special.
The Beni literally just made me whisper "wooowwww"!...Soooo beautiful yet it felt almost sacred,maybe that was just me but still...splendid Xx Erin you deliver once again..ty
Yessss Curse of the Golden Flower is amazing. Everything in it. Gong Li is so gorgeous and I loved all the costumes in that movie but man that lipstick was the best 🥰
The paper tint, I used to really use it back on elementary when there's dance contest and activities, especially when back then it's the cheapest option. It stains pretty long and there's few colors to choose. I'm fond of it :) It bring good memories..
I'd love to see you make more old makeup recipes. Imagine how cool it would be to try to make this product from scratch. Even if it was a fail it would still be entertaining and informative.
I think you need over a thousand safflowers to make one. I could never come close to even attempting this. But wish I could visit a Beni master and watch how they do it 😊
Yes, I love how dedicated and disciplined the Japanese art culture is. I lived in Misawa, Aomori prefecture when I was 9-11 and us Air Force brats had to take mandatory classes to learn about Japanese culture so that we wouldn't offend anybody whenever we were off-base. We also learned origami and Japanese art techniques. I loved that class!! Sadly some techniques, secrets, etc are being lost because of there not being any apprentices that want to learn and perfect the techniques of whatever art forms. Generations of knowledge lost... it's heartbreaking.
I would love to know which colored contacts you use because every one I’ve seen is beyond gorgeous. The ones I’ve tried don’t look nearly as nice. There are so many comments I won’t hold my breath for a reply, if anyone out there has any suggestions I would appreciate it so much. Thank you! The contacts worn in the Valentine’s Day rose petals video were my favorite, so stunning.
That is absolutely incredible!! I'm in awe of how gorgeous that looks and how incredible the cosmetics were then. If not for their innovation, where would we be!
just wanted to say that you are SO fashionable, creative, and beautiful! im sure everyone here agrees your content is out of this world!!!! YOU INSPIRE ME!!! ✨✨❤️❤️
I just saw “ancient beauty secrets” and the thumbnail had lipstick with a golden sheen and I thought you were about to recreate the radium girl look😭😭😭
@@spookyariel1 it was Chinese lipstick papers and Japanese Beni. I used bother because Beni supposedly started in Egypt then traveled the Silk Road to China and then Japan. I’d you watch the curse of the golden flower it looks as if she’s wearing this combo 😊
I've been wishing for makeup companies to make a bullet lipstick based on the red and green duochrome finish of beni but nobody will! I can't even find a liquid lipstick like it!
@@mlisakiser3763 I wish I got to buy Spanish Fly before it was gone! I only managed to get Icon and Shrimpton from the 90s shades that were brought back
@@erinparsonsmakeup hi! I love your videos! You’re so gorgeous!! ♥️♥️ actually I’m not sure I just screenshot and google searched it. But I have seen many stores on Etsy sell similar as well.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! The lipstick paper reminded me of my favorite CDrama which apparently was extremely well researched in terms of historical makeup and dress. And the beni is just magical, to die for. On a small side note, i love the eyeshadow look! Do you have a tutorial or similar?
Fun fact there are still stores in Japan that sells traditional beni rouge inside a seashell. You have to use your finger and wet it water and dip it into the rouge. I've seen one when I visited Kyoto in one of the shops near Kiyomizu temple. I brought one myself because it reminded me of InuYasha. Yes that episode where he gave his Mom's rouge to Kikyo.
I swear I have always wanted to save up my money and get my hands on a pot of my own😭🌺💖💕 it’s made using a f*ck ton of safflower, so I’m sure I don’t have enough to make it myself haha.
I have a loose powder eyeshadow that is the greenish red color, its very sparkly and its iridescent with redish brown/greenish blue color. Its beautiful i just never know when to wear it, it tends to go on brownish red with a tint of the green/blue in the glitter. I obviously dont know how to explain it, but it is beautiful.
Here’s a history lesson! Both products are actually originated in China before Japan. Even the beni! It was native to middle and east Egypt and introduced to China via Silk Road. It then made it to Japan in the mid 3rd century. Becoming heavy in Japan culture due to the highly pigmented colour of the saffron flowers. It was popular use for geishas.
OMG! Gotta have it! I love you Erin!!! Always a joy to watch your videos! Ever informative and always fascinating! Oh & btw, you are oh so beautiful babe! Keep it coming!

All so beautiful. I’m 36 and I still can’t even place fake eyelashes on correctly.
Magic! Excuse me, I need to pick up my jaw… 🤩👏👏👏👏

I love your videos. I love all the cool makeup stuff and you are SO interesting ❤you keep doing you and thank you for letting us watch!
I just saw “ancient beauty secrets” and the thumbnail had lipstick with a golden sheen and I thought you were about to recreate the radium girl look😭😭😭
I don't think that's legal...
笹紅!!とてもお似合いです🥳💕💕
The red is so vibrant
I luv watching ur videos I get to see all the make up from different eras n cultures it awesome..
Ugh I-
WOW-
Girl you’re beautiful!-
Wow, I love that! Beautiful, I want some!
I have been researching Tang Dynasty makeup for the last couple of days, love that you did ancient Chinese makeup
Japan. Look at the comments. JAPAN.
@@spookyariel1 it was Chinese lipstick papers and Japanese Beni. I used bother because Beni supposedly started in Egypt then traveled the Silk Road to China and then Japan. I’d you watch the curse of the golden flower it looks as if she’s wearing this combo 😊
Beautiful! I've never seen iridescence quite like that, I wonder what causes it
Look up how they make beni. It's tedious and time consuming but so fascinating
omg it just looks soo attractive and the way you show it every product looks amazing 😊
I adore how evil this makes your perfectly formed lips look.
I love your historical makeup videos. They are so unique.
Thank you for using Japanese lip！！❤
Excuse me, I'm off to watch The Curse of the Golden Flower
👁👄👁
🍿🥤
I've been wishing for makeup companies to make a bullet lipstick based on the red and green duochrome finish of beni but nobody will! I can't even find a liquid lipstick like it!
MAC used to have a red/green duochrome lipstick called Spanish Fly. I loved it, one of my favorites and of course they discontinued it.😭
@@mlisakiser3763 I wish I got to buy Spanish Fly before it was gone! I only managed to get Icon and Shrimpton from the 90s shades that were brought back
I love the music selection you chose to show off these awesome products.
I can not. Oh wow those products were incredible! You look beautiful as ever dear
Japanese cosmetic！🥰💄
There is this shop in Kyoto！🇯🇵
Company name is Yojiya. Hard to find products online aside from eBay where the prices skyrocket.
I got mine from the Kyobeni museum. Is this the same brand?
@@erinparsonsmakeup hi! I love your videos! You’re so gorgeous!! ♥️♥️ actually I’m not sure I just screenshot and google searched it. But I have seen many stores on Etsy sell similar as well.
Absolutely gorgeous!!! The lipstick paper reminded me of my favorite CDrama which apparently was extremely well researched in terms of historical makeup and dress. And the beni is just magical, to die for.
On a small side note, i love the eyeshadow look! Do you have a tutorial or similar?
i love the lip paper
the finish of the second lip product is wayyy too beautiful
Fun fact there are still stores in Japan that sells traditional beni rouge inside a seashell. You have to use your finger and wet it water and dip it into the rouge. I've seen one when I visited Kyoto in one of the shops near Kiyomizu temple. I brought one myself because it reminded me of InuYasha. Yes that episode where he gave his Mom's rouge to Kikyo.
よーじやのなんだ！
可愛いけど値段が…
That's absolutely stunning. What is the Japanese beni ink you used at the end? What's it made out of? I'm so curious!
Curse of the Golden Flower soundtrack ❤
That color is so gorgeous! Absolutely love it!
The eyeshadow + the lipstick = perfection ❤
Wow that's amazing!😮
Thank you for showing products not owned by mega- corporations!
I swear I have always wanted to save up my money and get my hands on a pot of my own😭🌺💖💕 it’s made using a f*ck ton of safflower, so I’m sure I don’t have enough to make it myself haha.
omg that two-tone lip colour is amazing
I have a loose powder eyeshadow that is the greenish red color, its very sparkly and its iridescent with redish brown/greenish blue color. Its beautiful i just never know when to wear it, it tends to go on brownish red with a tint of the green/blue in the glitter. I obviously dont know how to explain it, but it is beautiful.
What is the metallic shimmery red/green product made of? Just normal pigment or something else?
Perhaps read what's shown on screen and Google it
@@emilymulcahy well geez, you didn't need to make me feel stupid 😂 jk hun
It’s made from the Benibana flower and had a unique process of taking the pigment around the edo period
Safflower - check out a video on Beni, it’s an amazing and tedious process😊
Here’s a history lesson! Both products are actually originated in China before Japan. Even the beni! It was native to middle and east Egypt and introduced to China via Silk Road. It then made it to Japan in the mid 3rd century. Becoming heavy in Japan culture due to the highly pigmented colour of the saffron flowers. It was popular use for geishas.
This lipstick by Kyobeni is so pricey. I wonder if I could make my own from dried safflower petals 🤔
Girl 💀 it's that expensive and hard to find for a reason. It's not really a DIY project.
@@CassieRose29 dried safflower petals are used in cooking. Affordable, obviously nothing like Kyobeni makes. Look it up
OMG! Gotta have it! I love you Erin!!! Always a joy to watch your videos! Ever informative and always fascinating! Oh & btw, you are oh so beautiful babe! Keep it coming!
Absolutely stunning, love your videos and the history with them
