Hello my name is Ewa, I'm a makeup artist interested in Makeup History.
I'm doing these videos for my own entertainment and education.
My goal is to further train my skills for photography and video work.
I hope you enjoy my research. I do not claim to be an authority
these are meant to entertain as well as show makeup history.

Greetings from an ex pat, now living in the US. Thank You for this fabulous tutorial.
My Biba catalogue is a treasured memory. I drooled, and coveted an airforce blue great coat, never to be acquired, sadly. Born in '52, I did spend the summer of '71 in London and especially the Kings Road ! ❤
Thank you! I didn't expect to get so many accolades from people who actually saw the rise of Biba and had first hand experiences with the clothes and the looks. I'm happy it brought happy memories.
love it! I remember when I was a kid that my Mother would use liquid eyeliner to paint her bottom lashes on.
I think makeup and style memories are the most fleeting and most wonderful ones: like seeing a butterfly flutter by. And especially endearing if they involve your mom!
The major difference in eye makeup then was our super-plucked, thin eyebrows. Bette Midler really helped influence that in the early 70’s, and you can see the influence all thru his he 70’s. Thin, thin eyebrows.
David Bowie too! :)
Always loved the Biba girls. Totally enjoyed your video. Born in 1953, so remember it all! My eyes naturally turn down so the look made me feel better about my features. My husband said my turn down eyes were what attracted him to me. lol!!
It's wonderful to hear from people who actually were there! I'm happy to bring happy memories of a time where beauty could be different and unique!
Isn't it funny hour out men usually like most some of the features we don't 😂 I find this true no matter age. Just goes ta show ya..eye of the beholder etc
Lol OUR .. but I guess the word out might be funny too❤
That's sweet 🥰❤
Barbara Hulanicki was a trailblazer who has never stopped creating. A Biba Girl will always live in my heart ❤
Very attractive lady thank you for sharing this the 70's was interesting
Thank you for tuning in!
Brown and bronze late 80's was and still my favourite
I also want to mention that i vaguely remember the Biba look in the 70s , i was born in 65, loved the 70s , everything was so sexy❤
I love all of the seventies! They were really amazing times. You are so lucky to have been there!
I wore Norman Hartnell's " in love" perfume in the seventies and i was eight years old😅
HAHA 😀you were definitely precocious
I would wear most of these clothes!! Omg. I ❤❤❤them!
The other model of the day was of course the very beautiful Ingrid Boulting. We would be wearing our Quant or Biba make-up (Mary had a shade called Browned-off which set the look off perfectly), dressed in the maxi-coat and high boots we could ill-afford with our graphic design portfolio under our arms, going into the Studio to apply for a position, wafting a trail of Alyssa Ashley Musk, Quant AM or Biba, and the Director's Assistant would be like, ``Oh, I like your coat ...'' I do think, though, that we should be cautious of too smoky eyes or lips or we risk The Nightmare on Elm Street-effect. Just a thought! Otherwise, re-live Andy Warhol and all the rest. Keep it alive in the present. Lovely presentation, thanks.
Thank you for sharing what it was like to be an artist at that time! Being an artist (graphic design and photography student) it's no wonder I was instantly drawn to this aesthetic! Indeed: it was a bit of a struggle to carefully tread the line between artful and scary!
Just got to the end of your video- LOVE how your makeup turned out! Lovely 🥀
I still wear these styles.
Biba was the grudgecfrim the 60’s to the 70’s.
In the punk, then New Wave & post-punk clubs the mod and Biba styles were popular.
But in the US we were much more influenced by fashion akin to our space program, like boots, especially white boots.
I absolutely love this video 💚 this is great!!
Glad you liked it!!
Barbara Hulanicki lives in South Beach she's super popular in the art/fashion scene
This is so weirdly and wonderfully informative.
I love this, please tell the name again of the liptstick color/ brand? And how did you do your lower lashes?
The lipstick was from Bite Beauty (shade name "Kale" now defunct!!! And the lashes are by a Korean brand called "Darkness" and the name of the style is "Romantic". A quick search shows they might not be produced anymore. Just get a pair that have spiky bunches that criss-cross!
Fantastic content and presentation! Thank you!
thank you so much! I love BIBA and I am happy you're finding it inspiring!
@@makingupthemagic 🤩
Love this homage and recreation of my all-time favorite line, esthetic and iconic look! One clarification; it’s Hulanicki not Hulaninski. Otherwise Brava!!!!
She didn’t correct you, and I don’t know how she or the Anglo public said her name, but hoo-la-NEETZ-key is correct. In purist Polish, the n is pronounced like the Spanish N with the squiggle, or the Italian gn as in lasagna or anglo ni in onion, and her name would actually in -a, to match her gender.
I feel like some of Bowie's early looks came from Biba, both makeup and dresses
Bowie credits his then wife, Angie, for getting him into being more fashionable. Freddy Mercury's girlfriend used to work at Biba as well. Either way: it was the zeitgeist of the moment!
@@makingupthemagic Wow! I didn't know it was Angie's influence. I was also thinking of the cover of Bette Midler's album "The Divine Miss M" at some point in your video. It seemed like it had a Biba influence.
I absolutely love this video! It is so fascinating to learn how certain people revolutionized fashion and beauty and I cannot believe I have never heard of the Biba look before! Kind of makes me wish I lived in London at the time. Adore that ‘dreamy ephemeral’ makeup ❤️💋
thank you for your lovely comments. I'm happy you are enjoying makeup that is a bit more magical!❤️
@@makingupthemagic Most definitely! Makeup IS a sort of magic ✨✨
Like a 70's does the 20's look. I think the Gatsby movie inspired the 70's Biba look?
Biba is my favorite, I wish it looked good with glasses, (I wish any eye makeup looked good with glasses tbf).
I'm a myopic makeup nerd. So yes I happen to own two faces! Bespectacled me and glamourous me! And you know what? I love it! My theory is enjoy all the lovely "faces" you can create. Namaste
New subscriber!!! Can not wait to see what you come up with x
This was so cool and really informative-thank you! Also, the model at 9:05 is Ingmari Lamy 😄
Thank you! Yes she is very Biba… and still gorgeous after all these years!
I thought of Poison Ivy from DC comics..
@@indriadrayton1132 sooooo true !!!! Great observation ❤️
Anjelica is stunning. She's never been ethereal, though...
Biba ? What a joke ; … No idea…
Everything you called "ground breaking" and "innovation" had been done before. Barbara copied Theda Bara, Garbo and Elizabeth Taylor which were the real ground breaking muses in makeup. The Biba look was a ripoff of the true Hollywood originals. The Biba "aesthetic" was again the 1930s. UK Vogue 1971-1973 with turban was copied from Pola Negri. You really got a nerve to assumed that people in general didn't know who Mina was-is. The Mina look sans the eyebrows was a ripoff from Greta Garbo. So everything you've based your video on was done way before Biba by more beautiful and talented people.
@@jaydepalma1071 in fashion and style people would move on. Rarely did people “go back” to a previous look or style that was in fashion in the same century. Fashion does like to look back here and there. Technically the first one to go back was Monsieur Dior who brought back the 1890. Theda Bara inspired herself from the Egyptians for her eye makeup. No one creates in a void, everyone gets inspired. What was genius is to mix all those things and manage to sell them.
Many years ago, I met a girl who worked in Biba when she came into the shop I worked in when I was 17. She was so trendy and I so wanted to look like her. She was a few years older than me, and she was wearing a Biba dress, white boots, and she had wonderful red hair cut by Vidal. What fascinated me was she wore huge fake eyelashes which were the same colour as her hair, and the look was finished off with ginger eyeshadow. Amazing!
Thank you for sharing a first hand account!!! This is amazing!!!! I love the idea of an all red look with ginger lashes. Totally cool!!!!
Thats just so awesome that your memory is so intact..to remember the vivid colors. Whst a dream! I lobe it. I know exactly whst youre talking about.
@@RobertaFierro-mc1ub Thank you. She was so amazing. I will always remember her.
I still wear these styles.
Biba was the grudgecfrim the 60’s to the 70’s.

But in the US we were much more influenced by fashion akin to our space program, like boots, especially white boots.
I lived through the Biba era (and sadly it’s demise) visiting both the original store and the second larger store every week. I would mention that the Biba makeup look was not a “theatrical” look created for photography shoots, and was worn by all of us in full everyday. I was an art student at the time, but you saw Biba makeup on all the trendy girls. Clearly you were not in London at the time. Biba clothes whilst costing less than traditional clothes were still pricey by todays standards and most people had to save up for an outfit. I still have all my Biba clothes. I became a makeup artist and trainer and went on to set up the makeup brand for Miss Selfridge within the Selfridges store in London in 1978. Kindly note there is no ‘s’ in Hulanicki.
Hello! Indeed, from all the feedback that I'm getting, it's becoming pretty obvious that it was actually worn by women and a cherished look ! I think that is fantastic ! So the Biba cosmetic line was still being sold after the final closure of the store! You were very lucky to be living in such fashionable times! And thank you for the feedback!
Ewa, I am in awe of your facial features. You are a vision from the Art Deco era brought to life. I couldn't imagine a more perfect canvas for a BIBA makeup. :3
wow! I'm really humbled by your compliment! I'm very happy you enjoyed the makeup look. I think I'm going to do another one! ❤
Ewa looks incredibly like Nico (Christa Päffgen) who was an actress and sometimes sang with the Velvet Underground. ua-cam.com/video/0_z_UEuEMAo/v-deo.htmlsi=4MTAjRZJvLa7D4_A
I remember that time so well. I was 17. I wore the clothes, a pair of brown wool pants with a button up front .
I wore the Biba perfume in the early 70s. I have not found anything as wonderful after that. I loved Biba, Mary Quant and Yardley. I spent some time in Germany back then and I think the German girls loved the Biba-look as well.
Thank you for sharing the information ! It was hard to figure out how far the influence of Biba reached by simply looking at fashion pictures in vintage magazines. It's amazing that there was even a perfume! ❤
I wore it too. I used to hang out in the big shop in Kensington. I still remember the scent and the beautiful black glass bottles .I had the bottles for many years then got rid of them I wish it could be reproduced. I wore the makeup, and I still like use the dark colours on my eyes even though I'm now an old lady.
Mary Quant was popular in the 60's. So was Yardley. I wore it. I wore Charles of the Ritz lashes.
Thank You for sharing! Charles of the Ritz is just amazing in it's vibe... it really looks like some of the high end brands today! I just love it! ❤
I had the awesome tin of crayons by Mary Quant that I purchased way way back in 1972. I loved it so much that I never used it! It was that cool.
@@bibigems that is amazing! It's great to have a piece of makeup history!
My Cousin, Lesley -Anne modelled for Biba, she actually called her daughter Biba too :)
I love to hear from people who actually were around, like yourself! BIBA was truly revolutionary and with the exhibit in London people are rediscovering the legacy of British fashion during those amazing years of revolution.
I got a Siamese kitten in the late 1980s that I immediately named Biba! Yes, I had the brand in mind, being a fashion-obsessed teen in the 1960s. I had her for 12 wonderful years and she was a constant reminder of those happy, creative days.
Love the echos of art nouveau to deco to biba!
Hello - We need really full eyelids for that Penelope Tree look. The eyeshadow is very important for Quant and Biba. We can re-create it exactly like that with our new high-quality maquillage. Thank you for the lovely nostalgia. Be beautiful now ...
This was a truly wonderful video and a wonderful look. Definitely a silent screen goddess inspired look. You really had the Theda Bara/Pola Negri vamp look.
@@Bananadiva1 thank you for the compliment! ❤️ The makeup helped a lot !
Love it! Total Frank-N-Furter, Sweet Transvestite from Transylvania vibes. 👍🏼👍🏼
I'm so happy to have come across your video ..I actually worked for BIBA in the 70s..I had all the lipsticks and LOVED the Brown..I' wore all the colours..I followed a band called Roxy Music and Bowie so BIBA was at EVERY gig. All the clubs I went to were very bohemian and EVERYONE had their own unique style..THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! ☮️🇬🇧
Hello! Thank you for your lovely comment! I love that so many 'Biba' girls are chiming in! I love that era and, yes, I'm familiar with Roxy Music! ❤❤❤💜
Really informative, thank you! The 'biba look' is my favourite fashion era, very sultry and charismatic. You pull it off nicely 🙂
I was born in 56, we never called this style Biba. It was just Gathas in style, which we all considered Mod. Most of the very trendy ones were too expensive for us, and we’d sew those simple shifts ourselves.
This video was awesome, beautiful lady, another great channel, educated me. I was born in 1969 and my eldest sister was 18 in 1974, and I got to see all this first hand, she had a black dress that tied at the back, satin type material, I used to watch her getting ready to go out. She had a hair cut like ABBA Frida circa 1976.
@@Kevin-1969 this is one of my favourite makeup looks ! I’m so jealous that you got to be around when it was popular! ❤️
Sharon Tate embraced the Biba esthetic, so much. She would have been in London at that time, wore the more dramatic lined eyes, and was “boho chic”, to a t. 😊
I always love Sharon Tate' makeup and her big eyes! Thank you for pointing out that it was inspired by the BIBA look! It all makes sense now!
Regis Huet was really responsible for creating the 'Biba Look' in respect to makeup. The fact he was very involved in Biba never seems to get mentioned. I knew Regis relatively well and have a copy of his unpublished autobiography, probably one of few people who do. Regis went on to work with every celebrity, magazine and photographer until the late 1990s, becoming one of the most in demand makeup artists internationally for a long time. I wouldn't be surprised if Richard Sharah was involved too, whom I also knew, although I can't remember for sure. But he was around at the time and best friends with Regis. Of course Sharah went on to become famous and created some iconic looks for Bowie.
I was aware of Richard Sara. However Regis Huet is a name I haven't come across yet. Thank you for mentioning him! From what I'm understanding as I scour the internet : he worked on the makeup of some the campaigns and in helping developing the actual products. But the ideas themselves and colour stories were Barbara Hulanicki's ideas.
You look and speak like you're from another time w Haunting beauty. I remember those little pots of eye color! When my Biba supply ran out and stopped being made, i used Aziza, Dior, Charles Ritz. Glamorous colors back then, and of course now, as well. Thank you for the tutorial, history and walk down memory lane.
Very interesting. You forgot about Queen, they were heavily connected to Biba, Freddie Mercury's girlfriend worked at Biba. Think of the Bohemian Rhapsody look with the 4 images that was certainly inspired by this type of look, or at least by the silent movie look.
You have Twiggy eyes! Big blue cornflower that would have looked great with the extra mascara or more likely false eyelashes !
I think you are a combo of Italian German Swedish and British ? Guessing? I loved Garbos eyes so mesmerizing.
Scarfs on the head the bohemian vibes right. Many actress were models .including my fave actress Angelina Jolie.
I loved the British makeup artist that inspired me Charlotte Tilbury but she came along later ….Kate Moss was her client.
I heard of the Rolling Stones gf Anita Pallenberg RIP) was a former model ,Italian ,actually very theatrical in the 1960s
I wasn’t born until the 1961 )you surely do your history!
Plus you’re a makeup artist and a model?
Lovely! Ps I love Stevie Nicks ! Wiccan and gothic much am I ? 😂
thank you very much for your lovely comments! Yes ! I do love me a witchy look and the BIBA look hits that spot! I am also a big fan of Anita, Garbo, Kate Moss and Twiggy.
Didny Henri Bendel have a BIBA Makeup counter? I was 10 years in 1970.
This is excellent content! Very nicely done, Ewa! I use these shapes with mid-tone and light neutrals and they work great with subtle shades, too.
Ingrid Boulting, biba model, played Linda Rigg in 1966 s The Witches tv movie with Joan Fonteyn
Siouxsie went to Biba and bought a black and gold chinese dress!
Your delivery is creepy.
I get this might be on purpose but… hard to watch.
You are wrong about the rest of the world hating the Biba look. It was huge in Australia. All the late teen girls around me adored the Biba look. A prized possession was a Biba lipstick brought back from London.
haha Kate Aye, thanks for letting me know!!! It does make complete sense that Australians were big on Biba! Cheers!
I like it. You have a great face. I wish we could all just get away with doing any crazy thing with makeup, hair & clothes, any old time. It's just so silly and fun, and why not?
So true! I think there was definitely much more experimentation going on in the 70s. We've become much more boring today!
look the look,except for the green lipstick,cream or coral,wouldve been more.60s
What is beautiful is that people during that period were receptive to her aesthetics! Unlike today, when everyone tends to look the same to avoid taking makeup risks.
Yardley! Eau de London!
Mary Quant! Jean Shrimpton! Carnaby Street! Twiggy!
I never new that in the late early Seventies that they had other colors of eyeshadow other than Blue,Green,and whiteI Probably because I was only born.in.1969.
I'm using this video as a reference for my masterclass... this women was born in the wrong generation
She was made for the biba look
Yes, and also please do include my channel link!
@@makingupthemagic of course you are truly a gem that has been missing In this community. One critical I have and it's really not a big deal is I think your association ads are causing the volume of your videos to fluctuate in quality depending on the device you are streaming on. On my TV I can hear you beautiful angelic voice but on my phone it kinda is hard to hear you. And I may know why if you are willing to dm me sometime as I dint wanna discuss Andy personal and or sensitive subject matter as I find your content refreshing and exquisitely thorough. Many blessings for you and your loved ones and I pray for peace and prosperity for your journey proceeding forward❤🧡💛💚💙
Thank you for your critique. it is precisely while watching the Biba video on my tablet that I noticed the sound issue, that you so kindly pointed out. Since February of 2021, I have been recording on a better microphone, and playing with compressor and EQ settings. Each video I make is taken as an opportunity to create better quality content!
@@makingupthemagic of course and it is never with ill intent to critique obviously. I just find your content so entrancing that I would hope to never see you disappear like so many other great artists that have disappeared from this platform. I'm sending all my love and positive affirmations
YOu have Biba 1970s eyes. The Biba look was quite Art Nouveau/Art Deco.
Lovely video. 68 years old and I remember the name Biba. 🤩👍
Interesting that the eyes tended to droop down on the outside - giveing a tragic look & today the Kardashian look is to plastic surgery up the outside of the eyes to look like Barbie.
This is such a great breakdown! I've subscribed. Can't wait to dive into more beauty and fashion history with you!
Ewa I love your Biba look - your whole vibe and aesthetic.
Thank you so much for your appreciation!
I agree 😊💕
Ewa, you would have made a wonderful, emotive silent screen star
Best compliment I've received! thank you Athena!
fascinating! thank you so much! iirc, Lou Reed acknowledged that he had gotten that black nail polish at Biba in London 🖤🖤 (which of course did not exist in the central NJ rural/suburbs where i was growing up -- however, the Woolworth's in a nearby town started carrying "Ardex Nail Cosmetic" in black, black with glitter, green, blue, white, purple, and every other shade you could imagine -- so of course i saved up my school lunch money and bought nail polish instead of lunch, ha ha! . . . David Bowie, Lou Reed, Candy Darling (gone WAY too soon, but her influence has never left me -- i read Jan Morris' "Conundrum" when it came out in 1974 -- but, i think it was thanks to Candy Darling that being what now would be called "trans" was never a negative thing for me, gosh, i was "jealous" of how glamorous Candy was!), T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, etc. etc. etc. -- all HUGE influences on me when i was in junior high and high school (even though i was trying to dress all in black by 5th or 6th grade -- 1970, 1971 -- influenced not only by all those old black and white horror movies from the 1930s and 1940s, but "Dark Shadows" was wildly popular at the time!) . . . and as others have commented, i think a lot of the Biba look was in turn influenced by early 20th century films, going all the way back to the silents, when film itself was still somewhat in its infancy . . . also true, some of us really did embrace this look for "everyday"! the skinny, almost nonexistent eyebrows (i did not know about Frida Kahlo at the time, but i was only 13 or 14, and my thick bushy brows started to connect into a "unibrow"! AND i wore really thick glasses -- so all you would see were eyebrows and glasses -- i got totally drunk one night and plucked out every single hair -- i was happy and relieved, but my Mom was horrified!), huge platform shoes, velvet clothing, rhinestones, glitter and sequins on our eyelids, etc. etc. (we looked more like we were on our way to see David Bowie, instead of just going to high school, ha ha!) . . . there was a small Biba shop at Bergdorf Goodman, went there with my Mom and younger sister when i was 12 or 13 (RARE trip to NYC, we got to do this only bc Dad's older sister was married to a man who worked for the railroads, so we did not have to pay for transportation) -- i fell in love with EVERYTHING there, especially these pale grape/lavender high heeled suede boots, and ALL that makeup :) . . . i was not "allowed" to have any of that, but my Mom did let me get a ribbed scoop-necked top (in the same pale grape/lavender as the boots) and a deep burgundy cloche hat . . . they are both long gone -- but thank you for bringing back this flood of Biba memories! xoxoxox
thanks for sharing your story! I love it when people do that: it turns me into a time traveler.
Beautiful and informative ~ Both Mina and Patty are absolute icons, and of course so is the Biba look, inspiration for many even today in 2024. Your final look is epic, love the combination of green and yellow!
@@koko1974ify thank you !!!! ❤️❤️❤️
@@makingupthemagic You're Welcome ~ Keep on bringing the beauty!
The green and red are complementaries, closest in values on the colour-wheel, strong together but not exactly clashing, while black and white are of course on the very opposite of each other. The hat is important. Really germane to the look. See the Coty Masumi advert: Masumi and friends ... that is so Biba. Helena Rubinstein especially designed the make-up for Theda Bara back in the 20s when the camera began doing close-ups. Later, Twiggy would pick up on this with her doe-in-the-headlights make-up - all eyes and lower painted-on lashes, big lids, but she did apply three pairs of false-lashes by then. How could she still keep her eyes open, she wondered. Quant's Come Clean would not last long to remove all that paint. Gently does it for the delicate eye area. Marisa Berenson actually invented the lower individually applies lashes which were featured in many of her photoshoots for Vogue. There is still some Biba available on Etsy, though somewhat pricey by now. In the end Biba were virtually giving away the last of their products just to close down the store. It was the end of an era. Sad, but we will love it forever ...
Another person left a comment on this very slip of my tongue. Because the look itself is very intense and I must admit was not yet used to seeing myself like that! But today, I would have gone with a cherry red -- that deep dark blood wine red is a bit too vampiric. The monochromatic palette of the jacket and the lipstick makes the look easier to digest for the eye !
Loved this! Your facial features are so striking and gorgeous!💘
Speaking to the eye makeup being downturned at the edges, Barbra Striesand always did a reverse cat eye, she pointed the wing liner down instead of up and out. Especially in her early years. I always thought that was so daring and chic! 💖💖💖
Wow. I understand where the Denona palette got its name now.
I didn’t know anything about Barbara Hulanicka until this. I looked up her bio and have to wonder if she went to the same school as my father in Ain Kharem outside Jerusalem, where Polish kids were taught. Her father’s fate is very sad. My own father close enough to the King David hotel bombing for items to shake in the room he was in. I will have to learn more about Barbara.
Her personal background might have instilled a little extra awareness of or fascination with Tamara de Lempicka, whom I think I see channeled in those makeup looks.
Ewa I am asssuming there is a bit of Polish connection for you too! Regardless, I just subscribed for your informative content! Thank you, three years late!
I am just as bemused that, 4 years later, this video is blooming... The exhibit at the London Fashion & Textile Museum must have something to do about it! Barbara is a true genius and her work will never be forgotten! And yes, I am Polish on my mother's side.
How’d you know I did a glam - look today .? I adored VIVIENNE LEIGH FROM GONE WITH THE WIND AND STEVIE NICKS OF FORMER FLEETWOOD MAC FAME! WOW a YOUVE Big eyes like MEEEE
You definitely brought Bolan into your space!! And the end with the Rose... very good!
oh my gosh i just stumbled into your video! love it! I was so drawn to the Biba look immediately!
i bought the Biba fragrance at Liberty House in california… i loved it, although kinda heavy it was still fabulous! had the brownish lipstick too… i still lean to those shades 🌟 This was my era love it or not 🌟
I love the late sixties to early 80s, best time for makeup!
Lol...I thought you were a Biba model and could not believe how gorgeous you are.
I did some screenshots of you and some work on them I would love to share with you for fun only because I was amazed at your look.
Haha...i only just read about you.
I'm a nut....
Thank you for the compliment... I think I might have been a Biba girl in a past life! if you want to share the work you are welcome to: makingupthemagic@gmail.com Cheers! Keep getting inspired and creating, that is how the magic happens.
I can't stop looking at you Ewa...you look so, so much like my older sister (who passed away in 1996). It's like watching her come back into my life...I'm so happy. The makeup looks are so pretty; I loved the brown lipstick back in the day.
Wow I'm happy to know I have a doppelganger, except for my niece I've never seen my exact features... chalk it up to being 1st generation immigrant. Thank you for the compliments! And I DO think brown is the most wearable of the BIBA lipstick shades!
What a fun look that reminds me of tim burton movies
Ingrid Boulting?!
This reminds me of Twiggy.
great video and really informative, love the recreations as well!
Twiggy!!
This is fantastic. I grew up in the 70s, but high school was in the 80s. I loved the fashion of the 70s so much and was sad to miss it. I collect dolls from the 70s like the Ideal Crissy dolls. The illustrations from the packaging remind me of the BIBA catalogue and now I'm obsessed. You look awesome and this video was so much fun to watch. I've learned so much! Thank you!
This was very informative and inspiring. Thank you 🌹
Love this !
That Blue palette blew me away ! Gorgeous ! Would love to see those colors on you for another video !
you seem so knowledgeable about many things!!! i love your videos and look forward to more
thank you so much!!! yes there are more coming!
You look like Nico from the 60s but without the bangs
actually I did transform myself into Nico once and it worked! I might do it for a video! thank you for the lovely compliment!
I was around in those times and instantly recognised your make upbringing look - except for the modern eyebrows. I also had that catalogue, I still have some of it.
That is fantastic!!!! It's truly amazing to be part of history! I'm happy to bring you back memories. I know: I got lazy on covering up the whole brow and doing the pencil thin one! ❤
@@makingupthemagic Well , everyone of that era learnt the hard way - do not pluck your brows into a thin line. They might never grow back.
GORGEOUS clothing ! Love the lipstick colors as well ❤
@@debralynnpaxton5238 thank you !!! I’ve always loved clothing !
I Love this so much ❤️ you're so cool lady🥂
Love this. You should get more views!
Yikes! 😮
Barbara Daly developed the Biba make up for Biba- this is a well known fact- so very questionable the level of research done for film- read From A to Biba by B H
Dear viewer, first of all thank you for taking the time to view my little video. I do understand that Mrs Daly was the one that actually painted the faces of the models. However if you look at Mrs Hulanicki early sketches available in the book THE BIBA YEARS: 1963-1975 then you will see that she sketches the Biba girl look. She is very gracious to attribute this to Mrs Daly. Like many creative things it takes many creative minds to crystallize an idea into reality.
@@makingupthemagic
I had tge pleasure of having BH come and speak to my students.
Take what I've told you as the truth. It literally came from the mouth of BH.
then a very gracious woman indeed, but I do still hold my opinion on this matter based on her adolescent sketches where she relied solely on her illustrative talent to market her emerging line. However this does not remove any credit to Ms Daly who used her wonderful talent to reinterpret Ms Hulanicki's drawings.
@@makingupthemagic
I feel the penny has not yet dropped.
I'll give a lesson
Barbara Daly, of who you claim no knowledge was infact the first 'star' Make-up artis. Born in Leeds, West Yorkshire.
Barbara Daly along with creating the Biba make up Range for BH was also the make-up artist on'The Shining', 'Barry Lyndon' and 'Clockwork Orange'. Maybe you've heard or even seen these films.
Barbara Daly also did Princess Diana's make-up on her wedding day, when she married some guy titled The Prince of Wales. A event watched by millions around the globe but obviously not on your planet.
In my opinion, to dismiss the work of Barbara Daly and claim the BH is just being kind is to belittle the work of another artist. Something Barbara Hulanicki would not do, she it too gracious a human being.
Love the BIBA style 💚💜❤
Thank you! You have the perfect face for it... I hope you try it out... If you do send me a picture!
Love it!

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed!
I started to go out on disco around 1978 and there where not many with makeup at all in my country if you warent living in the capital. In the countryside it was low key! Blir on the retlig and cake mascara and Done lipgloss that smelled and taste csndy. I went to italy and came back with green snd golf as eyeshadow and boy- i got so herrased for it
I think that those memories are the best! When you fall in love with clothing or makeup and you wear it and step out of the "normal zone"! Today youngster are lucky : people a touch more kinder.❤
i'm sorry what?? she was influenced by the 20s and 30s and even victorian eras. your recount of the history is really not accurate. it's fudged.
