    The Victorian part reminded me of something my mother in law told me she used to do. My mother-in-law was born 1926, so her parents were literally ‘Victorian ‘. As a teen, she was never permitted to wear makeup, so when she went out to the dance halls, she would take her prayer book with her. In the ladies room she would wet the RED leather cover of the book and rub the stain from it from her fingers, onto her lips!! 💋. I love the irony... prayer book = lipstick 💄!

      I was a teen in the 80s/early 90s. Heavy, crazy makeup (as she wore here). But i was allowed only mascara and lip gloss until I was a sophomore. By then, I was so use to my minimalist look, I didn't part with it. And I still wear very little makeup today. Even when I do vintage fashion, I wear the minimal amount necessary to achieve my look ;)

      @LadyDynamitez 8 років тому +48

      You should feel lucky, in a way. Men aren't under the pressure to look certain way and hide their flaws, get told you need make up because otherwise you're ugly. Make up where it can be and is a form of art and fascinating, it's incredibly oppressive and harmful to women and little girls, just know that.
      If you want to wear make up, then that's up to you. There's plenty of men in media who do use make up, though just touch ups rather than a lot of colors, but still. You need to change it if you'd like.

    • @NostalgiCrazy
      @NostalgiCrazy 8 років тому +84

      LadyDynamitez Yeah I understand it's both a good and bad thing. It's the same way for guys but in the opposite direction: Man without makeup = manly, accepted, attractive. Man _with_ makeup = unmanly, wrong, shameful, etc. Society and gender norms have ruined everyone's self esteem one way or another and I wish I could change it.

      I think maybe people will be offended if she wears Asian history, like yea she could get a model, but she said it was just for fun so ringing up a model to and stuff like might be too much, but her book talks about a makeup from ALL over the world.

    • @asmaatamna4343
      @asmaatamna4343 7 років тому +9

      Chelsea Keniston well I guess history of makeup is a too large topic to cover in just one short video, she probably had to focus on some direction. Chinese makeup is definitely not the only one missing (what about sub-saharan african makeup?), but it's ok and the video is still great and informative.

  • @izzybeth
    @izzybeth 7 років тому +178

    Fun Fact: In 14th/15th century Europe, an extremely popular trend for women was to pluck or shave the hairline back almost to the top of the head. Why? Beauty standards be crazy.
    Also, I think it would be fair to say that the medieval link between makeup and deception exists to this day. As someone else in the comments said, no makeup = "Are you sick? You look terrible!" But light makeup = "no makeup," and heavy makeup = "Ugh, I don't like girls who wear too much makeup!" Dudes, you gotta make up (haha) your damn minds. (Or stop judging women on their appearance.)

    • @Goobermentalbody

    • @theoriginalsuzycat
      @theoriginalsuzycat 8 років тому +9

      +Fresh_Water from what I've read the French aristocracy's parties would have lost their allure pretty quickly. You had to wear clothes so lavish you actually bankrupted yourself to pay for them, and when you went to court you HAD to attend things whether you felt OK or not, and you had to stand up all night unless the King liked you enough to let you sit down. So you'd be standing up all night in clothes that weighed more than you did, in heels, on a stone floor, in a draught, desperately wishing the King would go to bed so you could, too. Plus I've been to Versailles and the kitchens were a long way from the rest of the palace, so if you were at one of the King's soirees and you wanted some food, by the time it got to you it would be cold. And apparently women of the court would sometimes put a chamber pot under their skirts so they could pee standing up in the room because you literally could not leave without permission. No fun!

    • @BooRadleyTube

    Am i the only one that actually starts liking unibrows on women? I do think they can look really original and natural on someone's (not everyone's) face. The way you did it, i loved it!

      I think that you won't have problems, I mean there are people who will think it's totally WTF, but if you don't want to work in something totally mainstream like wedding + prom makeup, then it does not matter, because they make approximately 0% of clients.

    • @roxslide
      @roxslide 9 років тому +5

      men definitely have a place in makeup history like max factor and eugene rimmel. makeup artists have never been exclusively female, unlike other jobs like nursing. I'm not 100 sure, but I think most of early Hollywood makeup artists were men. the first academy award for makeup was to a man. if these men did it there's no reason why you should feel weird about it.

I have normal sized lips, but a small mouth in an era when big lips/mouths are in; I've tried the "Kylie Jenner type lips" in an attempt to blend in, but my mouth just isn't suited for it. Perhaps I'll try a 20s makeup look to suit my lips! Who knows, maybe I'll bring small mouths back in style XD

      Which century and where were you referring too?
      The middle ages, or medieval ages, spands a few centuries and is most commonly associated with Europian countries, like England and France but many others as well.
      And then you also much ask, "Which social class?" Because the wealthy and royal would often use way more cosmetics than any of the poor folk could ever dream of owning.

    • @rebeccawhite5128
      @rebeccawhite5128 6 років тому +7

      "medieval ages"? That's not a phrase. Middle Ages - noun. Medieval - adjective. And in the middle ages, class really didn't have anything to do with it. It was outlawed by the church and what little they had was from natural sources - wine, flour on the face, and they had to be very sneaky about it.

    • @nicolamiceli9097
      @nicolamiceli9097 6 років тому +31

      The "middle ages" is a conventional name given to that period of time lasting from the fall of the last roman emperor Romulus Augustus (476 ad) to the fall of Constantinople or the discovery of the new world (both in the XV century). It is a very long period of time, roughly 1000 years. A "medieval woman" doesn't mean anything if you don't say where and when. I think the makeup showed in this video was common in France-Germany during the XIV century
