I can't tell you how much I love this tutorial. My grandmother was born in 1913, left the farm in North Dakota at the age of 14 and joined a carnival (scandal!!). During the 1930's, when she was in her 20's (before she met and married my grandfather), she worked at a hotel in Detroit and occasionally dated the young bachelors who resided in the boarding house next door. She liked to tell me stories of how she hennaed her hair to make it "pop." Until the day she died, she wore heavy Coty powder (just as sandra666 describes), used a pinky shaded foundation, applied her "rouge" in the same way you do in the tutorial, and penciled her eyebrows in a thin arch (she told me that some women shaved their eyebrows off entirely, and then penciled them in). I loved that you mentioned the rules for eyeshadow colors - because her hair had been red, she always wore green. She also wore a skirt and heels when she went to the mall. ;) Well done!!
No offence to the other UA-camr's who partnered up for this collaboration, but Cora fucking nailed it. I re-watched this three times already. I loved how she had such insight about the 1930's & how informative she was about the time period. It just made watching this tutorial that much more interesting! You did such a great job! You're one of my faves, without doubt. Keep it up. Your passion & talent always shines through. Amazing! =)
I couldn't get ahold of brow wax in time and other methods don't cut the mustard- I ended up liking the way the shaved-down look and I'm only letting them grow in a little for now.
Agreed ... I rarely do more than sparsely pluck mine because I'm a complete klutz who'd probably end up lopping off some eyelashes! But I do quite like that brow shape.
You have the most historically accurate makeup tutorial for this era! Others mistake a 40s style for the 30s, or going off of pictures alone instead of research. Thank you!
I really appreciate that you went for a more historically accurate look rather than a modern twist on a 1930s look. The history of cosmetics is fascinating! :)
Thanks cora! Loved this. As a vintage makeup collector this really got me excited. Its really difficult to find old makeup as it is something that is commonly thrown away. I guess that is part of the challenge for me and why I get so excited when I do find it. Thanks again for the hard work that is so evident in all of your videos
First of all great look. Love it. My grandma lived during the great depression and she's still alive. She partied like crazy during that time and her sister had fun. (yes my gma is still alive) My gma was in her 20's when the depression. My grandma still cakes on the powder to this day with this powder puff she had before I was born. She also puts on her chest and her upper back and shoulders. She still puts on her blush with a small power puff she has. Her sister told me they would paint on the lower lashes at times. The powder they used was Coty which they make. My local Walgreens and grocery store sell it.
I love love love that you shaved your eyebrows down a little for this look. So often I see people doing period make up but not matching the correct brow shape.
I appreciate all of the research you did for this tutorial before diving in. A lot of the others were "inspired" and not quite centered on historical accuracy. I do enjoy learning about the history of cosmetics, so thank you.
I think you did the best when it comes to actually doing the decades makeup instead of just "inspired" because they didn't wanna change their features (you shaved your eyebrows for us!) and doing the makeup the way they would have or actually doing research. Love your videos!
I really think you should do more Old Hollywood Vintage Glamour looks! I love how informative your video is, and while your look is a blast from the past you make it look extremely wearable even now.
You know my grandmother grew up in the 20's and probably was a teenager in the 30's but she had so much costume jewelry YOU are right on that..boxes and boxes..Hats omg hats in boxes everywhere..I just love what you did a gorgeous LOOK..so nice and perfect
You did a wonderful job. It is very apparent that you did lots of research and definitely know your stuff. I watched the tutorials for the other decades and yours is definitely the best. I feel like you stayed true to the era. You put lots of effort and attention into all of the details. You pulled bits and pieces to create an accurate and beautiful look. Great job.
{long comment} Everybody has done so well. I already follow most of the supremely talented gurus part of this collaboration. This collaboration is just a bit of fun and not a competition. BUT taking everything into account (video introduction and presentation, finished look obviously, editing, personality of the guru) it's Cora's video which I prefer. Loved the way you introduced yourself at the beginning of the video and that little snippets of your personality came through. You didn't try on purpose to sound extra bubbly either, it was just the perfect amount. What I mean is that if this video was the first video ever that I had seen of you, I would have been immediately sold and I would have subscribed. I would have realised further videos down the line, that that video was a pretty accurate taster of what is usually to be expected in your videos: knowledge, research, skills, flawless technique and finished result, and all that conveyed in a natural, easy to watch, fun, light hearted and NEVER condescending manner. So yeah, I quite liked the video really, in a nutshell ^_^
Fantastic look and have to say one of the few (there have been a couple of others) that have actually researched, shared that knowledge and was historically correct with their interpretation - just wish the other one or two had done the same! Excellent video, thank you!
I think this one and the 40's one were my absolute favorites from this collaboration because there wasn't the whole modernization of them! I love makeup history and I love seeing how things were! It's such a beautiful look
I love how REAL you are!! I have watched sooo many makeup videos and have never taken time to comment on a video--except now. I really admire you! And I love all the research you did you pull this look off! I think it's awesome that you most certainly have brains and beauty!
loved the historical background and how you could tell that you worked hard to get the look as accurate as you could. a true 1930's look. i love it! :)
Love the vintage look and the little make up history lesson! You should so color your hair, the color brings out your eyes and adds warmth to your complexion. ❤️
not to play favorites, but yours was the best of the collab!! great effort. never seen your channel before, so happy to have found it thanks to this collab.
this is amazing! i have to say, i really admire your inclusion of 1930s trivia and tips in it to keep it as authentic as possible :) it definitely adds to the tutorial
I love how knowledgable you are about makeup, i really appreciate it and it makes me enjoy your tutorials so much more. I wish i was as talented as you!
Out of all the other videos ,yours was my favorite! The other videos were just like any other makeup tutorial. I like that you talked about what you researched and incorporated it into the video! xoxo
I love it!!! out of all of the decades videos this is the most informative!! you explain how the trend was and the whys and that give a more clear idea of who it was back then to some of us who born on the last decades and don't know much at all about the trends back then.
I love makeup history! I have always loved history and collecting antiques and makeup. Lisa Eldridge was one of the first people who connected those two passions of mine in my mind for me...lol! Ever since I have been more and more interested in the research and collecting of cosmetics. It is amazing to me how just the study of cosmetics can really teach and connect us to our nations history. Great video Coral! You talent always amazes me!
Wow! Great tutorial! So true to the time period. I'm really impressed with the effort you put into making sure this look was historically accurate. I love learning about makeup techniques and styles throughout the ages, so I really enjoyed this. Thanks so much for sharing!
I think that you've done THE BEST out of everyone in this collaboration. Thank you so much for all your effort and all your facts. I'm a makeup history junkie and I actually learned a few things from your video. I would love to see you do more historically accurate looks.

OMG YOU LOOK LIKE MYRTLE FROM THE MODERN GREAT GATSBY FILM!! Your talent for makeup is uncanny.
Kinda Sorta yeah, thanks!
This is beyond ridiculous Cora!!! You totally nailed it!! xxx
Shaving your eyebrows, that's dedication. Love it girl.
No offence to the other UA-camr's who partnered up for this collaboration, but Cora fucking nailed it. I re-watched this three times already. I loved how she had such insight about the 1930's & how informative she was about the time period. It just made watching this tutorial that much more interesting! You did such a great job! You're one of my faves, without doubt. Keep it up. Your passion & talent always shines through. Amazing! =)
You're so right. I just got interested about the history because she was so informative x
So true
Cora totally nailed it! I love all the historical insight in this video!
Still watching, but already commenting -- I can't believe you shaved your brows! That is dedication, Cora. Bravo! Love it already.
I couldn't get ahold of brow wax in time and other methods don't cut the mustard- I ended up liking the way the shaved-down look and I'm only letting them grow in a little for now.
vintageortacky Gotcha! They look really good. I loved this tutorial. Thank you for putting so much work and research into it. :)
And by "I can't believe", I meant... I would have been a nervous wreck and probably lost half a brow, so I commend you. LOL
***** No worries, I knew what you meant ^_^
Agreed ... I rarely do more than sparsely pluck mine because I'm a complete klutz who'd probably end up lopping off some eyelashes! But I do quite like that brow shape.
I love that this is a color theory makeup. I love the use of complimentary colors
I love this! That wig is amazing too! xx
SPOT ON! Love that you incorporated the colour, :D
omg, the 1920s-1930s have some of the most beautiful fashions and makeup techniques
you look amazing Cora!!
Thank you for doing new and interesting things instead of the same boring videos that almost everyone else is doing. You nailed the look.
Love it!!
So do I! I love her makeup looks. While I'm at it, I love yours too! You should do more crazy lip colors. :)
Thank you Shannon, Watching your video now!!
I love Cora and you, Shaaanxo. You guys are so fab! Great tutorial Cora. :))
This was fantastic! Loved your video :)
you are truly talented.
Thank you Kristie ^_^
You have the most historically accurate makeup tutorial for this era! Others mistake a 40s style for the 30s, or going off of pictures alone instead of research. Thank you!
So informative! Love your historical tidbits :) xx
I really appreciate that you went for a more historically accurate look rather than a modern twist on a 1930s look. The history of cosmetics is fascinating! :)
You're a fucking UA-cam Icon to me, i have so many fun memories from your videos and your body positivity had undeniable impact in me self esteem.
Love it Cora! And I especially love all of the history behind it. You really did your research. :) I always love your videos!
Thank you Dollface!
Oooooh la la lashes!!! To die for. Love the look and all the extra historical cosmetics facts you gave. On to the 40s! Yayyy.
This is beautiful on you, I loce the way the red wig and green eyeshadow look together. Lovely.
Thanks cora! Loved this. As a vintage makeup collector this really got me excited. Its really difficult to find old makeup as it is something that is commonly thrown away. I guess that is part of the challenge for me and why I get so excited when I do find it. Thanks again for the hard work that is so evident in all of your videos
You're welcome babe! I myself collect vintage compacts ^_^
My two greatest passions are history and makeup, so to see these videos are wonderful!
UGH THOSE LIPS ARE FANTAAAAAAASTIC!!! I LOVE the shaping!!
I love how you gave a tinny bit of history as far as what was going on make up wise in that time. I didn´t know any of that!
I seriously love how authentic this looks. You look fantastic.
just by looking at the thumbnails of the other tutorials, yours is by far the best!!!
First of all great look. Love it. My grandma lived during the great depression and she's still alive. She partied like crazy during that time and her sister had fun. (yes my gma is still alive) My gma was in her 20's when the depression. My grandma still cakes on the powder to this day with this powder puff she had before I was born.

The powder they used was Coty which they make. My local Walgreens and grocery store sell it.
Obviously this isn't an everyday kind of look, but you make it look so wearable! It's so flattering on you, too. I love it!
I love love love that you shaved your eyebrows down a little for this look. So often I see people doing period make up but not matching the correct brow shape.
You can really tell that you did you research! So fun hearing about makeup from a different time :) xx Rach
I appreciate all of the research you did for this tutorial before diving in.
A lot of the others were "inspired" and not quite centered on historical accuracy. I do enjoy learning about the history of cosmetics, so thank you.
Girl...WOW!!! I have seen all the era's that were done and yours was the BEST!!!
FAVORITE from the era videos ahhhh amazing!
really cute! I like the movie film effects too!
I would love love love to see you make your own series of decade-inspired looks! This was spectacular.
Thank you so much!! I needed this because I’m doing a 1930s show right now. Bless you bless you bless you
This makeup is so so pretty!!! and so acurate! i love it
I'm a history major and a makeup addict, so this is incredibly fascinating for me! Love it!
I think you did the best when it comes to actually doing the decades makeup instead of just "inspired" because they didn't wanna change their features (you shaved your eyebrows for us!) and doing the makeup the way they would have or actually doing research. Love your videos!
I really think you should do more Old Hollywood Vintage Glamour looks! I love how informative your video is, and while your look is a blast from the past you make it look extremely wearable even now.
LOVE LOVE LOVE This!!! You make a marvelous redhead also! So wicked cool. Thanks for the tutorial!
I love that this is Historically correct and that you did research and gave an explanation for everything you did. Props to you!
Your dedication to the historical aspect is just awesome, love love love the look! You look gorgeous!
Loved this! That lip mixture looks amazing on you
I looooove vintage beauty -- especially 20's and 30s makeup/hair. Going to thoroughly enjoy this series of videos!
You know my grandmother grew up in the 20's and probably was a teenager in the 30's but she had so much costume jewelry YOU are right on that..boxes and boxes..Hats omg hats in boxes everywhere..I just love what you did a gorgeous LOOK..so nice and perfect
That hair color for you is perfection!
You did a wonderful job. It is very apparent that you did lots of research and definitely know your stuff. I watched the tutorials for the other decades and yours is definitely the best. I feel like you stayed true to the era. You put lots of effort and attention into all of the details. You pulled bits and pieces to create an accurate and beautiful look. Great job.
I'm happy to see Orb finally used in a video. It's my go-to brow highlighter.
That shade of red looks awesome on you!
Love the little history lesson we got with this amazing makeup look!

Yours and Shan's were my favorite looks from the collaboration!! So lovely!
Fantastic look and have to say one of the few (there have been a couple of others) that have actually researched, shared that knowledge and was historically correct with their interpretation - just wish the other one or two had done the same! Excellent video, thank you!

Points for historical accuracy. The "inspired" ones are fun, but the ones that come with a history lesson are so interesting!
This is definitely my favorite decade makeup!!! I absolutely love the vintage look you have!!!
This is so cool! The green eyeshadow really makes it work.
Wowza!! You would've been famous in the 30s!! This looks GORGEOUS on you!!

Wonderful! You did right by the 1930's for sure!
