Netfix needs to commission you for a series, this is soooo good!
I truly wish because I honestly paid for all of this myself. We rode economy, took a ship, slept in cheap hotels 😂 all in the name of makeup! I need Netflix coin to make my dreams come true ❤
@@erinparsonsmakeup In the mean time, we appreciate the 100% Erin of it all
@erinparsonsmakeup pitch it to BBC! they make the best documentaries anyway. and if this production isn't the perfect pitch/audition, i don't know what is.
Erin, seriously I hope you are shopping this to networks, etc. I wish you the best, you are so talented and imaginative!
@@erinparsonsmakeup History Hit might be a good one to approach, maybe?
If there's a makeup case, you're the true detective🫡❤️ LOVE IT⭐️
true
🕵🏻♀️ 💄!!
Pun intended? XD
PIN THIS!!! Yes!!! Full podcast series! Netflix!! This needs more attention
No pun intended!
I'm an artist and I use lead white oil paint, lead paint is actually very translucent. Its often used for sfumato which is a glaze of lightening. To get opaque thick white you use titanium white. Makes complete sense that lead makeup would have the same translucent effect as the paint.
Isn’t it dangerous to use? Do you perhaps wear gloves when you paint?
@Pollicina_db no it's not dangerous unless you are very messy and eat the paint lol, I personally never get paint on my hands unless it's on purpose to move the painting. But the amount of lead you absorb from getting it on your skin isn't too much anyway and I will just wash my hands. Lead when properly mixed with oil can't be breathed in. If you use a lead ground gesso and then sand your canvas, that is dangerous and should only be done outside with a respirator, but most people use lead free oil grounds.
I thought lead in paint was banned! Where is this made and sold?
@mabel8179 nah its still made. It's banned for "civilians" in some European countries though, you have to have a certification that you're an artist to be able to buy it. But in America you're free to buy it, I get mine from Michael hardings.
@@Chamomile369 "I get mine from Michaels" Is not what I was expecting LMFAO
Yes! As a historian and a woman, no woman would be caught dead in public looking like a clown. I love this so much! Great work!
As an historian you should know that she did not look like a clown.. a clown or a jester, as they were known, would often be wearing a black mask over his eyes and nose, and sometimes red lips. The white painted face on clowns did not emerge until 200 years AFTER her death (1801)
Painting the face white was highly modern up until mid 1800, for both male and female.
I was simply using the same phrasing that Erin used in her video, but thank you so much for your reply. @@daaelsen
@@samanthawilliams9710 but the white painted face, was fashionable in high society. It’s pretty well documented.
This entire video is using that quote, to justify they didn’t believe Elisabeth would have sported that makeup, when in fact, wearing that makeup would be the exact opposite of “looking like a clown”
Really? Marie Antoinette ring any bells
No woman? Look around you.
I am a global history teacher and am blown away by the amount of research you do for your videos. I’ve even brought you up in my classes when discussing makeup.
This video is incredible! Thank you!!
I’m also a world history teacher and have assigned some of these videos for extra credit!
as an oil painter, yes once the varnish is removed the original state of the painting is preserved underneath. nothing new is added, as that would be too much of a risk. removing the varnish is just removing a layer of protectant, which preserves the color underneath. so they did indeed paint her that white
To I think she ment that perhaps the artist painted in much larger contrast because they factored in the effect of varnish would have on the finished piece.
@@MissCaraMint varnish is just a sealant. it goes on clear and is usually removed and re-varnished once it ages and turns yellow. it's not a permanent fixture, it's purpose is to protect the paint from chipping. it can take many years, from decades to hundreds of years, for varnish to become extremely discolored.
We also have to remember artist “exaggerated” a bit with how good or fair their subject matter looked at the request of the nobility, I mean specially the king or queen. So I also take the way they looked in paintings as an “interpretation” and not as whole truth.
I appreciate the info 😊 I had wondered if any varnish had a tone to it like a honey color ? Which would mean to soften a painting or are they always clear? ❤
@@erinparsonsmakeup Varnish will 9/10 times make the color of a painting pop a bit more (it changes the textured surface of a painting, so it's like using eyeshadow with vs without Vaseline - the eyeshadow will have a richer color), but the kind of varnish used in these paintings would have gone on clear and eventually turned yellow due to aging. Due to how long this aging process would take, it's unlikely for an artist to make their painting brighter to compensate
You deserve a makeup geek show on Netflix! I would totally watch but here on UA-cam is good enough too cuz I’m subscribed to your channel and love these videos where you go into depth and history, and research experience! 10/10 ✅
😅
That is a great idea!
Thankyou so much! Apologies for such a late reply 🙈
That was really interesting. It threw yet another perspective on the make-up of Elizabeth 1st. Pity a lot of historians focus on her looks and love life. After all, her reign was named the golden age.
✨ sexism ✨
@@manaash4316 Yes, especially as far as the Monarchy is concerned. It was the same with Mary and Catherine the Great. Any journals or diaries left behind, had mostly the negative things highlighted.
She was awful and killed a lot of people.
@@Val.Kyrie. Honestly she wasn't the only British Monarch that killed a lot of people. Look at her father and sister. Actually throughout history.
@@Val.Kyrie. and there were people who wanted to kill her she had to do what she had to do
I remember watching a video with Lisa Eldridge talking about the continued fascination with lead makeup, even though lead was a known toxin. I can't remember exactly what happened, but I remember Lisa going to see a chemist who made both a modified version of an old lead recipe (it had lead, but other ingredients like spermaceti were swapped for more modern equivalents) and lead-free versions using different white pigments. It wasn't applied to skin, but even spreading it on glass or plastic, it was so obvious how much more translucent and prettier the lead version was. The lead-free makeup looked like straight up clown paint in comparison to the softer and more ethereal brightening effect the "modern" lead makeup had. It was wild. I can't wait to see part two of this!
She actually put it in candle light and the fact that the non toxic was grey, it blew me away! I played with this idea too, but sheered out to see what it would look like if someone is actually wearing it 😊part two!
@@erinparsonsmakeup yes! I'm super excited. I always wondered why lead was still used in Elizabethan and even up until Victorian times (at least as far as we know), since lead was a fairly well known toxin, but that video really made me wonder, because I always thought the whole "painted white" thing seemed a bit weird to me. Based on this video, it seems like a lot of it might be due to a combination of weird misogyny during the Victorian era, mixed with preconceived notions of the time (which was generally "no makeup" as far as I know), plus their contemporary "safer" alternatives to the lead makeup of years past.... History is quite the can of worms to unpack lol.
Btw: I absolutely love that you reply to people like you do. I know it's hard for anyone to keep up with comments, and I've felt totally honored by the full paragraphs you've typed as replies to my comments LMAO, I'm looking forward to part 2!!!! 😊
I watched that too, and I remember thinking "oh so *that's* why they kept using it, it looks so much prettier"
I think that people might have also been taking the term “painting your face” a bit too literally mixing it up with the type of lead paint that would have been used for house paint for like trim and stuff
Even geisha's makeup isn't perfectly white and masklike, it has a translucence and a pearl effect to reflect dim light and make their faces more brilliant at night.
Shame on youtube for hiding your channel from me until now, instant subscription!!
I can’t wait to explore the history of geisha makeup. I believe China and then Japan would have been the first to use lead. I’d also love to just sit and watch a modern geisha do their makeup 🤩
I think people might think that Geisha makeup is more like Kabuki makeup than it actually is
Like Geisha makeup is still done using it’s own specialty products while Kabuki makeup has become a lot more modernized
@@erinparsonsmakeupI never studied makeup, but I did study herbology and interned in an herbal pharmacy in Hangzhou, China after getting my Master's. It was just an offhand conversation, but the subject of feces came up since there are several types of animal feces used in herbology. Nightingale droppings were part of the facial process to remove the makeup which had both lead and zinc. The potential damage done by the makeup was countered by the nightingale droppings. It's not just the makeup but the pairing it with the proper removal that was key. Just like in herbal medicine, everything needs to bring about balance, and makeup was the same way.
@@noducksaloud7554that is fascinating!! I will make a note of this to explore one day 🤩
I really appreciate this perspective on the Queen's imagery. You don't think about it being any different than what was depicted in the movies. And then you think about she most likely had a pale complexion, being a red head, and it was fashionable at the time to look as pale as possible as a sign of nobility.
Yep, I've met people that pale in real life, and they don't do anything extreme to achieve it either
The white lead make up in the 16th century was called Venetian Ceruse and a fine powder. I have read that it was translucent and not thick and in the first few times of it being used looked good, but this was what made it insidious because it started to erode the skin and give it a grey hue.
Noooooooooo! A CLIFFHANGER!?!?! How dare you, ma'am!!!!! LOL
🙈 we’re editing as fast as we can 😅 I couldn’t wait any longer to get this one up 🤗!
@@erinparsonsmakeup I CANNOT wait to see what's next! I'm so glad you moved to UA-cam for longer videos!!!
❤❤
Standing ovation! Two of my favorite topics....Queen Elizabeth I and makeup. Well done @ErinParsonsMakeup
It's been two months, are you or is she ok??@erinparsonsmakeup
THANK YOU for doing your part in correcting this false depiction of Elizabeth I. Sixty-five years old is a pretty long run for a woman in her time, and the Hollywood depictions of her looks have always made my eyes roll. This is such a wonderfully presented video. It's fascinating to finally see what this makeup would really look like.
I could not agree more! Thankyou ❤
*69 ☝🏻🤓 but yes, spill
@@erinparsonsmakeup You are a rare and beautiful gem. I am a lifelong learner. I love to learn about literally almost everything. What you have done for makeup I didn't even know needed to be done and here you are killing it and making us all grateful for it in the process. You rock, Erin!
Theres a tv mini series i love called “A Stitch in Time” where fashion historian Amber Butchart goes into deep research and examination of a significant/famous historical fashion item and shows a modern recreation of it using historical methods.
This gives me the same vibes, just with makeup! This is so deserving of its own tv mini series!!
Where can I watch this show?! Sounds interesting!
My Grandma use to tell me that in 1850- 1980women use to mix Ponds white cream and mix it with some type of cream foundation to make it lighter since they use to match it to their face (not the neck) and sometimes they rubbed Nivea or Ponds all over to make them lighter and moisterize and use it as "foundation"
I love this series and love that you are sponsored, but I just wanted to bring some awareness that betterhelp takes advantage of therapists, they don't get paid much at all and they don't receive all that much support when they have issues from betterhelp. My MIL is a therapists and has had issues with them before and so do many of her colleagues!
yea i saw a video on betterhelp being problematic
They don’t have to work there
its bad for therapists and clients, just overall really not good. clients specified traits they DONT want in a therapist and got therapists that fit exactly what they didnt want. just horrible
@@dboy2762But the people that do today CHOSE to.
And shite data security
I’m so excited for Part 2! From your fans who refuse to get TikTok, THANK YOU for finally posting again on UA-cam! Please please could you bring your TikToks to UA-cam?? You could run them all together back to back & even if it were hours long I’d watch every second again & again! ❤❤❤❤❤
These apps are so frustrating because YT launched shorts to compete with TikTok. Then TikTok promoted videos longer than a minute which meant that content could not go on shorts here. And honesrly I just couldn’t keep up anymore :(
Hopefully YT can make the shorts up to 3 min. Then I have tons of content for ya 😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup thank you so much for explaining because I had no idea. WE LOVE YOU & we’re here for whenever you’re able to post here❣️
@@erinparsonsmakeup I know tik tok brings the numbers views and coin, and you should do whatever you need to finance your mastery, but you are too good for tik tok, YT is a better platform for you, if you ask me you are national geographic quality when it comes to make up so
Helen Mirren in around 2006 was in a really great mini series called simply as "Elizabeth I". She was not overly made up with the heavy white makeup. A little rogue and a slight mask of youth. It's my favorite depiction of Queen Bess on screen.
What an excellently executed documentary. I love the conversational tone rather than a starchy stiff preachy narrative. I paid attention because the subject was given life. Thank you.
I appreciate that, Thankyou!
I'm not particularly interested in makeup or history, but Erin, you make it SO fascinating! This format where you do a mixture of storytelling, experimenting, and traveling is so perfect! It's truly shocking to learn what the true effects of lead makeup is, and it makes Elizabeth's pale portraits make a lot more sense. How is it that multiple Hollywood productions with massive budgets keep getting it wrong? Anyway, I can't wait for your part two!
I’m ok with a little fantasy but it’s becoming absurd 😅
I live for makeup & history 😂❤ this is everything 😢🎉
Hollywood has probably used the "mask of youth" look because it was based on the most popular scholarship of the past few decades. Now audiences want to see Elizabeth suffer and look ghastly and desperate, not like a normal human who liked a bit of face illuminator.
I was literally searching history videos this week on Elizabeth I. Specifically, more about her skin and face. Crazy! Great coincidence!
That’s a good sign! My brain has thought about nothing but this for months 😅
@erinparsonsmakeup btw, best line in the whole thing:
"I find it hard to believe that any human, especially a queen who was judged by her every move, would walk around looking like a godamn clown."
Right on!
Pls stop using better help. They are an awful company for so many reasons.
List maybe one ?
@@lululee1653 in 2023 the Federal Trade Comission found that they broke their privacy agreement by selling health info from peoples intake questionaires and sold them to advertisers. (Im not one for telling people to just google it, but please...google it...)
They have been found to hire underqualified "therapist"...or people hired were found to have no credentials at all.
I gave you two.
I cant stress enough, ESPECIALLY when dealing with mental health...these type of issues arent helpful
You're more than likely speaking to a counselor who doesn't do HALF the work/schooling a psychologist goes through. The chances of you getting quality help is low. The people who go to school for 7+ years to get their doctorate has so much knowledge and can give you the tools to change your life over some rando who just got a little certification to be called a counselor. On top of that better help is a money grab! The "therapist" you're talking to on the phone is most likely speaking to 10 others at the same time. You think they will take the time to actually give you the tools to unravel your complex history and help you heal. NO it's not possible. Better help has plenty of other reasons for being a waste of money. It sounds like a great app but please, PLEASE do some research on an opposing opinion before commenting. @@lululee1653
Literally everyone says this and never gives reasons why. I’ve used the service and had an amazing therapist.
@@lululee1653 i replied saying why...my comment has been deleted.
If you google the issue (i hate telling people to do that but since my laat comment was deleted) you will see why. For instance they were called out by the federal trade commision for selling peoples intake questionaire data to advertisers. Thats just the ONE of many reasons.
I always assumed it would be similar to a thick, white zinc paste. Almost sunblock like, the way it's always been portrayed, anyway. What you've shown is so subtle and lovely! 🥰 I love makeup and history so thank you for all your hard work!😘
Lisa Eldridge also has a video on her channel where she and a chemist follow a period-accurate recipe to make white ceruse makeup. It’s a snippet from her BBC series Make up: A Glamorous History from 2021 - which is fabulous. The result was very translucent for a cream - very similar to the formula presented here, but had a bit more pigment and a softer texture - and had a radiance to it. After seeing what actual ceruse in action, I absolutely believe that people would have used it to blur the appearance of texture.
That's cool, it was basically like a blurring illuminating cream
Yeah I saw that it was really cool!
Yes I saw and it was absolutely incredible! But I do wonder what recipe they used because if it’s the same as the one professor mcneil made, why was it like a greasepaint? I had two different chemists make the formula and it came out hard. Almost like a softened paste. Lisa and I chatted about meeting and filming for this but I went to London while she was in NY 😅 but I adore her and hope we can film together one day!
@@erinparsonsmakeup I’m also curious about that. Maybe the recipes you each followed were from different periods and/or regions? Fashion trends changed so quickly from decade to decade in the early modern era. 🤔🤷🏼
I SO hope to see you two film something together in the future!
I saw that. White ceruse was stunning, to be honest.
So happy you've done another long video! They are wonderful. TY so much, Erin.
I am on Tiktok almost daily, Instagram weekly but I’m afraid UA-cam is just not as easy time wise - I love it though and as always will try to be more consistent with uploads 🤗
This is absolutely incredible. Not only the information about the makeup itself but the history of why these lies may have been created about her. I’m so excited for part 2 and I hope you do more videos like this. You need a whole Netflix series ❤
This makes sense, I've always been interested in the British monarchy particularly the tudors. Queen Elizabeth 1st was a red head, most reds have very pal skin. That wasn't thick lead makeup she was wearing, that's her natural skin complexion. This was a very interesting informative video, looking forward to episode 2
Oh I used to be.
I haven't watched any videos in that topic in a year
Wow. I’ve been ridiculously fascinated by Elizabeth for decades…I’m so happy you did this. The things that were said about her and her mother Anne were said by their enemies. Elizabeth was incredibly brave. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Oh wow!!! I hope this series gets more episodes! Fascinating! Brava, Erin! ❤❤
We’re working on part two now! 😍 but there are definitely a lot more toxic substances to investigate ❤
@@erinparsonsmakeup Oh yay!!! So excited! 😍
Please please please may a TV company commission a series of this. I could listen to you for hours and hours. You are the Lucy Wolsey of make-up (if you don't know Lucy, she's a fabulous British Historian).
I am so used to seeing old videos, that I went to your channel looking for part 2, only to realize you just posted part 1 four days ago. LOL. So badly wanted to binge this now. Really a refreshing, interesting and educational series!
Ms Parsons coming in with amazing production value!! Go on Erin! 💖💖💖
We did alot of traveling on this one and epically for part two (and on the lowest budget possible 😂) ! I appreciate your comment and I’m sure the crew will feel the same!
This combines my love for science, history, and makeup all in one I can't wait for the next part!
Same 😅 I always wanted content like this but there’s not much out there so I said hey why don’t I just make it 😛
When is part 2??
Patiently waiting for part 2 ❤
Omg, so her look was angelic and ethereal. Luminous queen ✨
Like a pearl. Pearlescent. Sounds beautiful.
Seeing the lead formula in action the portraiture makes so much more sense, it is lightening with a bit of a very subtle white cast but more like a glowy primer than anything! I can imagine imagine as a painter picking up on that but not depicting it as “makeup”
She's my all time favorite queen, so glad to hear this myth bursting!!
I love her but not her DAD!
But... but... Marie-Antoinette! I kid, I like Queen Elizabeth I as well.
Your style and screen presence is ideally excellent for such a series
i would watch it as a comfort show
I rarely wear makeup, but watching your videos i find myself intrigued in all of your techniques. Your channel is so educational i cant get enough. Thank you for sharing the history of what you know with us. Keep em coming you're remarkable 👏
This is the best educational, pre-reality-era nat geo / discovery content I have been missing for years, on a kick ass subject. I can't get enough. Production, content, editing is chefs kiss.
Fascinating that more people are getting interested in this topic, it's something I'm really excited about. I saw Lisa Eldridge doing this exact same thing for her documentary series Make Up A Glamorous History for the BBC - I highly recommend it! She said in the show that she had always wanted to figure out why people had chosen it over other safer ingredients. She made a few variations of the toxic lead paint from that period in a lab and then the less toxic ‘lead free’ alternative to compare. On camera she didn’t show both on her skin but in comments she said she secretly did try it on her own skin!! She also compared both in candlelight so you could really see how they looked on skin .The toxic lead one did look very translucent and she said it had more of a radiant dewy glow. She also interviewed the same lady you speak to here. There's so many interesting books on this subject too! :D
Yes! Lisa has written about this in her book and in her episodes on the BBC which I loved
The 90’s Drew Barrymore inspired daisy hair when you’re in the lab is gorgeous! 🌼💜
Been patiently waiting 2 months for part 2🥲
I need part 2 please, this is magnificent.
It may be 2 weeks because I have to work on set but we’ve already started it 😃
I am so grateful for your videos. Anytime I see you post something. I literally stop what I'm doing and go and look and see what you're sharing. Another amazing contribution to the history of makeup. Thank you
Truly appreciate this! The longer form videos really do take so much time, research and editing - it’s always nice to read people enjoy them!
I completely agree! I love when she uploads
This is the kind of content I've been longing to see and I'm so glad that it's coming from you. Thank you for the dedication that you're putting into this series. I can absolutely feel the love you're pouring into this.
We know that Elizabeth I was a redhead and so the fairness of her skin should not be surprising.
We LOVE your longer videos, and I adore history (especially ancient history of the East Mediterranean) xx
I cannot wait to explore the world with you all watching! I’m so glad others enjoy makeup history as much as I do 😃
I absolutely adored this. I never thought the white makeup made any sense considering the social aspects of the day and what she already had to deal with. There would of been tons of witnesses writing about it. It just never made sense. But I never had the time to research it this thoroughly and find the answers. I so so so appreciate this. And I can’t wait for part two! Thank you thank you!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🖤🖤🖤
I've wondered what lead cosmetics looked like for YEARS! I read accounts that lead was used for its beautiful skin finish... but it looks *identical* to a modern, silicone-based pore blurring primer. Amazing! Thank you!
Can’t wait for the second installment! Why hasn’t anyone done this research before? One thing though, the wax effigy was made decades after the original wood one, I wouldn’t look to it for any reference to Elizabeth’s coloring.
yesss..
the lucy worsley of cosmetics history!
History and Makeup and a bit of mystery in the same video? I love this so much!
Im late to the party but I CANNOT wait for part 2!!
This was so eye opening.... Thank you! You need your own series on a streaming service for EVERYONE to see.
Hollywood and all the self referencing.. it’s like echoing itself until it doesn’t even know why we use so many tropes anymore. It becomes less about art and more about communicating in its own language (crochet items equals working class family, knit sweaters equals wealth, in movies and tv for example, all because they say so and started doing it and now reference themselves (Hollywood). And they originally went with the sexist male writers too and it just trickled down.. psssh, she was a queen! She wasn’t so insecure about her face lol! She was busy being queen!
omg, i am so happy to see an actual video--not short--from my favorite: erin parsons!!!!! your production values + content + glamour are chef's kiss!! xoxoxoxoxoxo
You’re so sweet awww 🤗!! Thankyou so much!
thank YOU!!!!! @@erinparsonsmakeup
Amazing video. Better help are a terrible company though.
Better help is a really awful company. Please research your sponsors before accepting money from people, they're scammers
Seriously. The run around and ghost they pull on neurodivergent folx should be criminal. SMH
🤬
For real, I can't believe people just forgot about all the weird stuff they've done
Yay!!!! A new Erin parson video to watch a million times!!!
😂 once shorts expand their time limit I swear I’ll have so many 3 min videos coming on this app 😅
This was brilliant, this should be on streaming services!!
Incredible! Ty for deep diving into this. Can't wait for part 2. I'm living for this series ❤
neeeed pt 2
I LOVE this Erin! What a great video. I can't wait for part 2. I hope you do more like this. This and Lisa Eldridge's historical videos on this topic are so captivating. I would love to see you two do a collab. ❤❤❤❤
Another flawless execution. Especially in style. The gold starfish earrings are everything. You're incredibly brilliant not only in your mastery of your craft but you're content is so incredible. It's always engaging, illuminating and informative. I always very much look forward to watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the work and dedication to providing this privilege to us all. The resources required of you I'm sure it's not easy.
I have to say I saw these earrings on etsy, vintage ysl eek! I watched them for months. Finally I broke down, they were pricey but I’m so in love with them so thanks for noticing 😅 🌟
This was EXCELLENT journalism.
i've missed you erin!!! glad to see your longer videos are back
Let’s hope this edit goes smoothly so I can get up part two quick! 😊 also considering doing simpler videos , maybe my experience as a makeup artist, or just play with makeup. Let me know if you’re down for that kinda content :)
This is AMAZING. The traveling alone to find the answers is so much hard work and thought. You’re my forever favorite artist.
Where is the part 2?!
FASCINATING!!!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 👏🏻. Omg, Erin the lengths you go through to uncover these facts (or fiction?) are incredible. We are so lucky to be able to tag along and learn. You are amazing. Thank you so much!
What a fantastic series Erin! I cant wait for part 2. This is incredibly interesting historical content! I love learning more about how makeup and fashion actually looked and worked in the time periods, especially when they have so many myths about them.
When lucy told me father rivers never even saw Queen Elizabeth in person, my mouth dropped open 😂 the myths are wild!
This might be my favorite video of yours to date! Erin, you are such a gem 💎 … your channel and your content is such a refreshing contrast to most of the crap out there today. PLEASE dont ever stop making this content! You are amazing❤
Thank you so much!! Wowww such a sweet comment 🤗! If only I can get a network budget so we can do a full season of shows like this 😃
This is so refreshing. It's wonderful to see somebody actually doing the research to uncover the truths about history, instead of people repeating the same old things that 'everybody knows'! I can't wait for part 2.
I'm obsessed! I can't wait for part 2!! ❤❤❤
Very interesting! I love the History & Science behind it. I love your story-telling & you indeed need your own curated museum because you do a fabulous job not only with makeup but also bringing characters to life. Bravo 👏
We’re working on it! My archivist is halfway done with the main collection. It’s a lot more work than I realized 😅 but we are approved as a nonprofit. Next step is finding the space and getting the money to set it all up 😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup Congrats on the hard work & venture! You deserve it! Will be looking forward to when you get it opened!
Ahhh!!!! This was so amazing!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
I know UA-cam is something you do more on the side when you have time. I am so grateful for your dedication and enthusiasm! For hunting down the secrets and revealing truth.
Make up is one of the oldest, most universal tools we’ve had access to. And it is so fascinating and in a way I believe liberating, to have the truths revealed, not as we’ve been shown them, but as they really were.
Your hard work is greatly appreciated! I can’t wait for part 2!
❤
Girl!!! We need more videos like this. It would be amazing to learn more about makeup, skincare and beauty from different periods of history. Wonderful video!!!❤🎉
You are SO amazing and dedicated! I’m so appreciative of what you do! Thank you. And here’s to hoping you never stop!
Thank you Erin. I love the historical aspect and debunking of false beliefs ❤
The love you have for the subject shines through, so wonderful!
Can't wait for episode 2 !!! I'm so excited and I have loved this series!!!!
I love your new series!!! I love looking into Queen Elizabeth the 1st and this gave me goosebumps and thrills. This was amazing to watch. I want to know more. I look forward to the truth you uncover in the next part to this series.
I love makeup history and you have outdone yourself with this video. The research, the travel, the interviews, just incredible content worthy of awards!
So glad you’re back ❤
Also love the lead based content, and Lucy Jane Santos❤
Lucy is so incredible! We definitely have to do an episode on radium with her ❤
Aww, thanks x
Wow the quality of this video is beyond stellar! I will definitely be here for part 2 keep these coming❤
This was really well presented, researched and produced. Looking forward to part 2!
OMG this is amazing!!! I love your deep dives and passionate examinations of makeup. The hero we all need!

This was fascinating, Erin! I can’t wait for part 2!
I'm blown away, you have taught me so much about makeup from history!! You need to have your Siri's just talking about things like this. Makeup and how it was used back in history.. ❤🎉
This is the coolest video about Queen Elizabeth's beauty!! please a part 2!!! 🤩
I cannot wait for part 2. I binged all of your videos when I discovered your content. Some of the videos were things I thought would be boring, but you make it so interesting and fun. The way you get to the bottom of historical things reminds me of ask a mortician.
Girl, this is HIGH QUALITY CONTENT, you deserve all the engagement!! Congrats, I´m learning with you here!
I’m SO here for this series!!! 😍
*This* was fab. I am very much looking forward to part 2.
Erin. I don’t get to see enough of you and your exceptional work because I’m not on other platforms. Thank you for this.
Hoping shorts will expand to three minutes so I can repost all my tiktoks. 😊
