This was the most difficult video I've ever had to edit as I had to cut out so many great anecdotes, interesting facts and amazing products. Seriously, I think I could easily have made a 10 minute film for each decade!
Anyway here is a little glimpse of my visit to the house and collection of Madeleine Marsh. I tried to stay calm and focused but inside I was bursting to get my hands on all the amazing treasures that surrounded me! The second half of this video will feature the 1940's through to the 70's and some incredible items - Mary Quant crayons, the IT palette all the cool British girls aspired to own during the war and a powder compact in the shape of a grand piano... to name just a few! Stay tuned X
Madeleines book is called The History of Compacts and Cosmetics: Beauty From Victorian Times to the Present Day and you can buy it on Amazon: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1844680495/

I want to go live with that woman for a week and have her tell me everything she knows. She's awesome.
same.
Wouldn't that be so much fun? Yesss!
Yes! I agree! 💘
Yes me too,
I love the way she speaks. So graceful.
Ayela Waseer she sounds like a female Alan Rickman :faints:
Yes! I agree. 💝
Victorian ladies weren't supposed to be seen wearing makeup, but they could indeed find rouge recipes in ladies journals and get them from the local pharmacy/apothecary. One rouge that was in the Victorian era--and popular--was known as Pear's Liquid Bloom. It was also popular in the Regency. It's run was from the 1700s to the 1950s. It was basically Benetint. Powders were also common. A woman could tint her lashes with a mixture of ash, wax, and oil that she would make herself. but you couldn't make anything very obvious or you'd clearly be a tart. They also used blue powder or some kind of blue tint to draw fake veins on their skin to make it more translucent looking.
That's so clever :D, do they have balm though? Like for lips and stuff
avrilfantasyrin oh yeah. there's been salves for ages to keep lips moisturized as well as tinted salves to give a tint. One common colorant was alkanet, which produces a nice reddish color, but carmine was also a common colorant, too. Carmine produces a very red-pink, rosy tint.
fatalrob0t ahah, I knew somehow they had to cheat :D, some people can't have rosy lips no matter how many water they drink, thank you so much for this information :D
avrilfantasyrin Not a problem. I'm one of those that just don't really have much color to my lips. If it was me back then, I'd be secretly making my rouge from those old recipes and hiding that stuff away where no one would see it.
fatalrob0t yeah like me too, my lips somehow ends up looking pale if I pack on lip balm but it's not for some and many girls, some fruits actually give your lips a tint of colour if you ate them, I think I would've done that XD
This is so interesting! I love how she talks about the history with such passion.
Right, isn't it? Nothing more inspiring then a person who speaks about their passion with such knowledge and grace.
Me too! 💟
Now this is a true makeup artist. Admiration and respect for where women started, going back to the source of why we wear makeup. Yes it's fun to do a dramatic look for going out but it comes back to doing a bit of makeup to look a little prettier, like ourselves. Something so charming about wearing only a bit of powder and a red lipstick and having these little clever compacts to keep with us for touch ups. I wish cosmetics companies would sort of look back on this and do clever packaging like that. Thank you Lisa for your passion for this industry and for that great historian for sharing!!
She was really knowledgable and fun to listen to, what a treat!
Respond to this video...
Thank you to everyone who has left such amazing comments here today. I have been out on a shoot all day and am just catching up with them all now. I'm so overwhelmed and happy! Its lovely to know that its not just me who is crazy about all this stuff. I had a truly inspiring day with Madeleine and her collection and its just fantastic to be able to share it with so many interested people. I think you are going to LOVE whats coming next! X
My two favorite things: Makeup and History.
Me too😍😍😍😍
Same girl!!!!! 💯💯💯💯💯
This was actually extremely interesting. I just can't believe she has the original Rimmel Mascara block I've only ever seen images.Cant wait for the next one 😄
how come they aint that creative anymore with accessories? the lipstick in the brush and the mirror in the bangle is cool
I didn't want this to end!
Same!!! 💯💯💯
Product designers TODAY could greatly benefit from studying cosmetics packaging during the roaring twenties and noir thirties. Those packages and containers were ingenious!
This is fascinating! I would love to go into her room and look at every little thing. Thank you for doing this! I grew up in the 50's and 60's so I remember makeup from my grandmother and great aunts. I remember buying lipstick for 10 cents at WoolWorth and Kress and using the Mabelline mascara in the red box. In high school it was dark eyeliner and Tangee orange lipstick (but we had to take it to school to apply it because dad said no makeup!!) and about that time the mascara started coming in the tubes. Much better than the box and brush. Grandmother wore Coty loose powder, no foundation, and red lipstick with a bit of blush that was the creamy type you put on with your finger. No eye makeup or mascara and brows were natural. I don't ever remember my mother wearing eye shadow or eyeliner. She wore powder and lipstick and used a #2 pencil for her eyebrows! I kept telling her she was going to get lead poisoning but she lived until she was 85 no lead poisoning. ;)
ElizabethAnn625 I very much doubt people's eyebrows were natural.
that’s incredible !!!
Watched this over 5 times. I want more makeup history videos from you. Or more iconic ones like the Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe ones!! I love the little tidbits of history you sneak in there. Thanks so much! Love yah Lisa.
This video is so interesting, I could listen to her for hours! Can't wait to get this book, sounds amazing.
What a breathtaking look into our past. I'm so thankful you ladies have shared your knowledge with all of us. It's so intriguing to learn about women's life though the ages. Incredibly lovely!
Watching in 2020 and I’m so grateful for this, Lisa... I would love to see if she’s expanded her collection and see more in this category!
Madeleine sounds like Riversong!
hello fellow whovian
Omg you're right.
we found her
she reminds me of River Song/Melody Pond from Doctor Who!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I start to admire make-up and the inventions by Victorian women. Also, this smart lady who owns the shop, really lovely collection of hers, she is absolutely the inspiration for all women who love make-up.
this was absolutely BRILLIANT!!! if only they teach history like this... I feel like if she made a doco I would not only buy it but watching everyday for a bit of pick me up. i love it!!!! :D great video series lisa i'm really loving all of it!!
Oh my goodness, a museum of sorts in Madeleine Marsh's home! Also, a brilliant moment of truth: 7:10, followed up with Ms. Lisa's "and they're still doing it."
So many of the artifacts in Madeleine Marsh's collection are works of art. So much detail in packaging, compacts, tools, etc.
@kja1103 thank you for taking the time to comment here, it means a lot to me. I'm so happy you are enjoying my videos as much as I'm enjoying making them X
This video is amazingly interesting !!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with us, Lisa !!
I've seen Victorian gloves at antique fairs and wondered about how narrow they were. So women then did not necessarily have narrow hands. They just squeezed their hands into them.
I honestly cannot thank you enough for making this video and for filming and bringing to light your interest in the history of makeup. This is beyond fascinating and amazing for me. I studied history and I'm also a makeup artist so you just mashed up the best of both worlds for me. Love it! and I hope there's more soon!
I just saw both videos and I absolutely love this! Unlike most people my age, I collect vintage as well as antique items to decorate my home. I just love having these things around. Especially when you start to think of the stories behind them. I've seen a few different makeup products through my searches, and there are quite a few compacts that I would love to have! May have to invest in order to display in my bath & spare rooms! This is awesome!
I'm a boy and actually use makeup daily. I'm not trans or a drag queen. But I've worn it sense highschool and I do it just to enhance certain features and to make my skin look good. I don't wear liner or shadow or lipstick. I'll just wear a BB cream by Mac and always set with the "Coty Airspun powder". Then ill wear a bronzer/highlight but very light. A lot of people don't even notice. Sometimes at night I'll wear a brown mascara but I'll just do one swipe on my lashes and go over it with a clean mascara wand just to get the bulk of the mascara off. And ill just wear a lip balm on my lips. Anyway I know it's not the "normal" but I think guys could wear a light face if they want and if they use the right products and put it on right then it can really benefit a mans face without looking feminine or like Boy George. I'm 27 and still pass for 22. I don't think there should be a issue with guys wearing makeup. To be honest some men want to look fresh faced and flawless just as much as women and I wish it was more universal for guys to do so.
I really liked your video and found it very informative!! :)
I LOVE your makeup in this video. It's my all time fave.
I keep coming back to this little series of videos because, I absolutely Love Madeleine! The antiques and love/knowledge of history... Her personality too! Omg, I feel like I could just sit with her for days, talking about different pieces, learning about antiques and talking about how or why it was manufactured. My house is decorated with antiques. It's a "hobby" I enjoy because, I feel like the pieces themselves hold the history and hold the stories. I swear, if I could do it all over again.. I would totally get into something like this a LOT more than I do now! lol
I adore this series of videos for your passionate approach to the subject matter. You can really see your eyes light up when you speak about the history of makeup and it is such a joy to watch.
madelein marsh is amazing.. the way she says the story and carries us thru ages, its as tho she has witnessed it all.. amazing! n i actually wana see each piece n listen to her story :)
Thank you Lisa, this video is amazing, all this vintage beauty products were so stylish, so beautiful! This mascara with brush..ah!:)
depends how rare the item is. Most of it isnt expensive at all. The most expensive single item I ever bought was £600 but it was extremely rare (only one or two left in the world) and very beautiful X
Lisa I could listen to her for hours! Her knowledge is endless and its so interesting !
Cant wait until the next video..
I love these videos, I've watched these at least 3 times xD sooo very interesting, I love history and these just give you such an awesome insight
this was soooooooo interesting to watch. I enjoyed every minute of it!!!
Thank you so much for filming this Lisa. Such amazing information and the actual products...WOW. And a special thanks to Madeleine for allowing you and all of us into her world! Can't wait for part two.
why are there voices so relaxing 😍 i could listen to both of them talking all day
woah I love her fashion style! so bright and fun!!
Very insightful!
I greatly enjoyed this.
This video made my day. It combines two of my passions; historical documentaries and makeup! You can't lose. Thanks so much Lisa, I know SO many of us apprecaite your videos!!
I loved this video! Thanks Lisa and Madeleine! You can really tell Madeleine is just incredibly passionate about her work, she's so exuberant talking about it!
We´de LOVE to see a tutorial for a flapper girl´s make up with those smokey eyes and pucker mouths!
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thank you.
I love listening to Madeline talk about all this - Such passion! She seems amazing. I can't wait for the next installment. Thank you for posting!
Oh Lisa, I absolutely loved watching this video. The make-up collection from the past is so vast and I found myself gasping at the sight of every little item Madelaine presented; they were wonderfully described and it was ever so fascinating to listen to! Thank you! x
this is soo amazing!
So all the insecurities, and anxiety we have about our looks today were brought upon us because companies wanted to sell makeup and deodorant.
Well obviously. You wouldn't think there was anything wrong with you if you weren't constantly told there is. Women grow hair cause it's supposed to be there. But there's money to be made if they tell you you're gross the way you were created.
I love listening to people like Madeleina. she has knowledge to share and a great way to explain things! I enjoyed this video very very much and I am looking forward to the next videos! Thanks Lisa for that!
I could have gone on watching her for ages, she was so interesting and her items were fantastic! Thank you for sharing!
Such an interesting video, thanks for sharing it. Im fascinated by this :)
It must have taken forever to shave in the 20s omg that shaver was TINY.
People were also tinier
i loved this, finally something educational and insightful, not just endless tutorials but some history and lessons we can learn from. its so exciting, cant wait for part 2!!!
great job lisa and what a fantastic idea to share with us!
This is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much, Lisa, for bringing this to true makeup lovers across the globe. Makeup is so much more than color. I am looking forward to seeing the rest of this series. Thank you again and hello from the USA.
This is so interesting!!
I'd be sitting on the on the floor Indian style and starry eyed 🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀
Me tOo Katie.......:)
Same
+MissSusieQue1 I love the history of anything
This video and the part 2 of it have got to be my favourite hands down!!! Thank you sooo much for putting them together and sharing...💕
this is really fascinating and i love how everything comes together--how cosmetics and women and what's going on during the timeline connects. such a great thing to learn and understand because some of it we can still relate with today!!
Because of you I was inspired to actually care about my outer looks which eventually caused me to enhance my inner beauty and self confidence. Thank you for giving the feeling of female empowerment and I am so happy that I am wear both Victorian and 40's and 50's looks and thank you so much to enhance my historical knowledge but now I feel a lot more confident with the new knowledge I know. Just thank you so much!!! You are absolutely amazing! You have brought so much purpose in my life. Thanks!!!!
omg I want her to keep talking and keep learning from her
This is fabulous. I could listen to you two forever. My grandmother was a flapper in the twenties. I have several photos of her in her single days. I have a few items of hers from those days I treasure. She graduated from college in 1923 and never lost that flapper spirit of discovery and empowerment. Thanks for sharing.
Can't wait to see the next decades! Thank you!! Beautifully filmed and edited and a delight to watch and learn. Top class!
How about more Vintage clips... wouldnt we all want to see make up from the 30s.. or even Marlen's or Greta's make up routine... especially Vintage Movie Stars or the pioneers among them (surely some of them wore smth for the first time, smth bold at the time...).. this is Gorgeous material
What lipstick is she wearing here? it is gorgeous
Your passion for makeup always shines through in your videos. I love you so much!
Oh my God! I could listento this lady and her makeup talks forever. So fascinating.
Thank you Lisa for sharing this
Lisa, what lipstick did Ms. Marsh comment on?
"And the manufacturers realized there was a fortune to be made from female insecurities," LOL I love makeup, but that is a brilliant statement.
This was Amazing! I could listen her talk for hours! Such a lovely video
Lisa thank you so much for taking the time to film, edit & post this amazing video!!!! I really appreciate it. Can't wait for the next installment. I literally swooned. :)
Greeting from Tokyo, Japan. Lisa Eldridge U are soooo beautiful !!
I don't think that meeting was a coincident. The universe lined that up. ( :
I might seem a little too late to see these videos of yours about makeup history.. but I just wanna say that I love them! They are so informative and great. Thanks!
Loved watching this, so interesting and lovely to listen to someone who understands and can speak to all eras. I could listen to this all day. Amazing!
the way she says deodorant is so cute
you remind me of Rachel Weisz :)
I cannot wait for the next video! Madeline seems so fun and passionate, this is a real treat to watch!
Lisa, thank you, thank you, thank you!
This lady is absolutely amazing, so fond of all the things she is telling about and giving these funny details, she is a wonderful lecturer.
And you look fantastic, too, so in tune with the topic!
Argh! Perpetuating the myth that corsets were terribly constricting and painful. Nope! A properly fitted corset was close, but not painfully constricting. Really, think about all of the middle-class women and the housework and childcare- can't be done if you're completely bound up! The extreme corsets were for advertisements, actresses, and the very highest of high society women.
all women wore constricting corsets to get and maintain a "proper" waistline, and how women worked in tight corsets? they were expected to so they just did, no matter how painful it was or how hard it made things, because sadly, women were expected to torture themselves for beuty so men would like them.
A proper waistline and constricting are not the same thing. I've worn real corsets, and worked in them. As I said, if they are fitted correctly, they are not uncomfortable- on the contrary, I've found them to be supportive, and they encourage better posture.
You need to look at some photos of real women from the era- not fashion plates, but ordinary women. You'll see that they did not have 16" waists like many say. And not all of them wore corsets, either. As to women torturing themselves, women today do much more of that- there's workplaces where women are required to wear heels and hose every day, heavy makeup, heavily styled hair. The idea that women in and before the Victorian era were abused by their clothing doesn't hold up.
I agree, I am a 40G and wear my corset for back issues and they are very comfortable..properly seasoned and fits snug ..like a long hug, lol..if its painful than they are doing it wrong
There are plenty of examples where organs have been preserved where you can literally see indentations from the ribs into kidneys and liver.
The working woman would not have worn corsets quite as constricting as the upper-class woman, this is also natural because the upper-class woman will have a maid to help her tie the corset whereas the working woman at the best has her mother, sister or daughter to help. You'll for obvious reasons also find difference in quality and thus firmness depending on the class of the woman you're looking at.
Furthermore it's impossible to compare modern day corsets to the victorian ones as we today are aware of ergonomics.
Could you provide us with references or links to such preserved organs? I've never heard of such a thing.
And the corsets I'm referring to are extant pieces or replicas. Not fetish wear or modern waist-trainers.
Victorian women COULD get dressed without a maid, and corsets did not cause fainting. Those are both urban legends.
This is so cool! and I love that woman's collection, of vintage products AND knowledge! I could listen to her talk about beauty/day to day life of women in the olden times all day, love this video!
Very tired and having a day off (which I don't always get even on Saturdays) and Lisa, I am binge-watching you! Heavenly!
That woman looks like Skittles puked a rainbow all over her outfit.
This was wonderful! I adore vintage makeup and it's wonderful to see all her pieces .
I love watching these videos . they're actually super interesting to me because I used to live in a small town that had somewhat of a vintage market, and there was this booth with all sorts of vintage makeup, and I remember thinking "why would someone want old makeup like that?". I never really knew people collect vintage makeup until I started watching your historical videos and now ... I wish I was interested in it back then I would have bought some of the makeup I saw and started collecting because I have yet to find such a thing near me. But its incredible the different trends and ingredients of makeup back then compared to now. I love it .
Wow. More. More. More. Two things I love combined makeup and history, I could listen to this info all day. I really want her book. Can't wait for part two.
Im just in awe. Just amazing! I could have sat and watched for hours. I can't wait to see the next video I just had to say how great this one video was!
Wow! Absolutely amazing! Thank you Lisa for sharing this treasure.
I love this & Lisa's other series so much! I am rewatching before the new year for 1920s makeup inspiration.
this video was so interesting, I love listening to expert people talkin about their subject of knowledge with such a genuine passion, I'd listen for hours. by making this video you gave us the possibility to see historical make up, you made my evening exciting, thank you very much! I'll surely see the sequel video.
This was seriously one of the most interesting and informative videos I've watched!!! I loved it!!! Madeleine's collection was amazing. I'd love to see more.
These videos are fantastic- I'm completely fascinated and can't wait for the next one!
Wow, what a wonderful video!! So interesting and unique! I have never come across something this interesting on UA-cam! Thanks Lisa, you are amazing and I cannot wait until your next video xx
You and a handful of other Beauty Guru's on UA-cam are actually interesting and I really feel like I learn something from you! You are the real deal girl!!
Lisa I enjoy these videos so much! You can make these videos seriously as long as you want! The people who really want to see will watch! I could spend all day in Madeleine's room! It looks so interesting! Your so lucky! xx
This is seriously one of the most interesting UA-cam beauty videos I have ever seen! Thank you so much Lisa & Madeleine!
OMG I love this video...love to hear the history behind shaving, hair, corsets, lipsticks and so on! And Ms. Marsh knows her stuff! Very nice!!
WOW! Just... WOW! Watching this I did NOT want it to end! I am so glad there's a part 2 coming up next.. learned so much. I feel honored to have seen this.. thank you so much for sharing!
