So a little more history on geisha’s! Technically they were not prostitutes. It’s true that in the Edo period of Japan prostitution was legal however it required special licenses. Once a trainee (maiko) became a geisha she was strictly forbidden to hold such licenses. What you’re referring to was called an oiran, a very high ranking intelligent sexual courtesan. They were also trained in the art of dance, song, games and entertainment like a geish. But those two are mutually exclusive. Geisha actually derived their style of dress in part from orians due to being considered the crème of the creme in beauty. Eventually men started to dress in such a way that mimicked them but they were exclusively trained in song and dance and eventually the profession was taken over by women. A lot of people confuse the two because back after WWII many of the soldiers could obviously not speak Japanese. They called every single woman who had white face paint, or wore a red kimono a geisha. But to be a geisha, it is a far lengthier and more detailed process. Mizuage was practiced but it was not as common and could get an okiya shut down if it wasn’t hush hush. If a geisha did have sexual relations with a guest she did so knowing it was going to be her retirement and often married the one she had sex with. So technically geishas weren’t prostitutes, they were called orian if they engaged in sexual activity with clients.
Thankyou so much. Will 📌 I’ve seen so many movies that feature ww2 era and you are absolutely correct. I should have researched more before I said that. Was sort of referring to the makeup and hair being a look that would define a geisha but it’s true just that alone doesn’t make an actual geisha, and I did think the entertainment aspect would lead to more. Again appreciate all your research!Thankyou again 👏
That is correct! Thanks for the history. I only add to this history, a little bit more.
After the American Civil War the US sailed to Japan. All the US sailors being men, they wanted sexual relations. And not trying to understand Japan and its culture, they believed and assumed the Maiko and Geisha to be prostitutes, beginning the destruction and misunderstanding by most of the world, and nearly all the U.S.: that Geisha were prostitutes. Which they were not at all. And Nakita you got everything correct and I am thrilled you did, thank you.
Cane to say the same! Geisha's were not and never were prostitutes! Thank you @Nakita Jade
@@erinparsonsmakeup oh no please don’t apologize you did nothing wrong! Japanese culture is something I adore and study often so any chance I get to talk about it I do 😂 You’re not wrong from the American perspective! We are only taught what our home country views as the truth. Even Japan isn’t perfect, as they literally don’t acknowledge their war crimes from WW2 in unit 731 or against the Chinese. Thank you for always teaching me something new with the history behind makeup, I’ve been such a fan of you for years. BIG EDIT: please do not look up unit 731 if you’re a child or upset/traumatized by atrocious inhumane experimentation.
@@Garouwerks oh thank you so much for the extra education! I’m all for listening and expanding ♥️
"I couldn't find my strainer, so I used a wig cap" is the most iconic thing I've ever heard. 😂 Ma'am the legacy you are building, I love it so much!
It looked so wrong after too 😅
@@erinparsonsmakeuplet's get married bae
You’re so cool. You’re like a beauty science teacher 😭😍
If only I knew as a child about cosmetic chemistry I may have actually paid attention in school 😅 this is so fun!
Yeah!..I thought the same!..she's just unique 💄💋🥰😊
@@erinparsonsmakeup That's how I feel, but about everything! My life's goal is to learn everything. I'll fail, but what a ride!
Lolol you nailed it!!!
I second your comments and add totally G.D. fascinating
I was watching a woman who actually harvests these parasites and she was talking about how her family had been doing it for decades but the rise in vegan products has significantly decreased the demand for get to do thus and it's made it difficult to continue the tradition so I appreciate the lesson in this resource and in happy to learn more
They are telling us to go vegan, and at the same time bugs are being pushed into our food for protein and we are supposed to be sustainable also. It's whole mess and something that is harvested like that is very sustainable and environmentally friendly but people still want to ruin it
I watched that too!! On Insider I think, it was great!
Tbh, lately I'm being wary of products that are labeled as 'vegan'. There are products that are 'vegan' but environmentally harmful, like polyester and 'vegan leather' (plastic). Some chemical dyes also can be labeled as vegan but not environmentally friendly.
@@zitronentee I hate shoes made out of plastic, they rub and make my feet sweaty, so for the past however many years it's been I've been wearing leather boots in the winter and cotton canvas sneakers in the summer.
@@zitronenteeit is terrible and the clothes including shoes don't last. Like my leather jacket my dad bought me for my 21st birthday is still in perfect tact all these years later now that I am 34 and those leather steel toe combat boots I bought back when I was 15 are still in perfect tact expect where the steel is at of course given the yesrs the color has faded but where the actual leather is at is in perfect tact.. Now pleather crap falls apart and you end up spending 20x more money to keep replacing your clothing and shoes so not only is it not environmentally friendly it is also a waste of money...
The fact it's a parasite is such an odd concept but not surprising. I think as long as the workers are being paid and treated well, I'd be okay with wearing a bug. I do wish makeup companies were more transparent about the ingredients and where they are sourced. Can't wait for more videos!
Well it’s a parasite to cacti 🤣 but other than that just a regular insect
I agree, on all counts!
You might want to do a little research because you probably wear (and EAT) bugs more than you think.
Quite a few beauty products and candies have beetle shells in them.
@@sometimessnarky1642 as op said, its the companies making these products with these ingredients that should be more transparent. The responsibility should not fall to the consumer!
@@sometimessnarky1642
Came here to say this.
If you started a cosmetic line selling products inspired by vintage makeup, or made using ancient recipes, i think it would be a hit!!
I was just thinking this!! The packaging could honor the country and time that the product originated from. It would be so cool.
Unfortunately someone would say she was “culture robbing” to get rich instead of using their pea brains to understand that literally most ALL things are from a mix of cultures in the US. 🙄 However, I too agree on a cosmetic line of such.
@@hername3046 yeah I hope no one gives her shit for the aesthetics of the products. I'd definitely love it because with today's technology for cosmetics and the vintage 'packaging aesthetic' it would be the best of both worlds, this is indeed a great idea.
I'd totally be into it! ❤
Yes!!!
Erin:"Well I'm not a chemist but..."
Also Erin: *does a bunch of cool chemistry shit*
😂❤
I'm mexican, and i have seen the living parasite vibing in the prikling pears, we call it grana cochinilla in my state, it's so cool hearing you speak about it
My mom told me my grandma would use it to give her cheeks and lips color lol
my boyfriend grows cacti and he absolutely hates the cochinillas, they are his #1 enemy
I don't think I've ever been interested in the history of make up until I found your channel. Thanks for sharing so much history, love, and passion about make up!
I’m a grown male with no interest in makeup but I find your channel and yourself so engaging and interesting!
I love make up but tbh I’ve played this video to take a nap to a couple of times, not because it’s boring, but because I love the way she speaks and the topics go beyond just make up
@@nicoleadams2321 I totally get it. It’s the way she articulates everything and the research behind it so that we can all understand. It’s so cool
I think a lot of men enjoy watching the process that women do to beautify themselves. There's no shame in it. I used to have an audience when I'd do my nails in the hangar I worked at, during down time or breaks. Just like women enjoy watching men work or do their hobbies. It's just fascinating watch someone do something they enjoy.
Hi! Im from Mexico and i absolutely love your videos!
Is so nice to see someone using cohinel without being disgusted by it!
Fun fact im an entomologist as well
Cool!
carmine part two featuring an entomologist anyone? Please!
For me it’s a no brainer, the carmine is stunning! Wouldn’t bother me to have bugs in my makeup. They fly into it all the time during summer nights anyways already! Lol
The amount of work and education it takes to make one of your videos does not go unnoticed!!! Really enjoyed it
I love the history behind all the makeup! Thank you for all you do for us!
I’m so glad you enjoyed! This was really fun! ❤
I like how you spell your name 😍
I don't really wear makeup, but one thing I LOVE is lipstick! I learned about this bug in a college biology class, and it doesn't bother me at all to eat, drink, or wear bugs especially since it is a parasite. It's probably one of the safest products used in foods, as I learned in my class. Your videos are fascinating, beauty and science and history all in one! Look forward to your next video.
I'm Mexican so I knew a few things about cochineal, but I'm impressed how deep you get into the makeup history, thank you so much to make this video 💄💋
Holy hell that painting of the Duke of Essex is incredible - the red is practically glowing! You may already know this but there is fantastic book about the history of cochineal called "A Perfect Red" - really engaging reading!
I’ve been watching UA-cam as my main form of entertainment for over 10 years and you have really been such a great new find for me. Every single video you post is so well done in every aspect
I wish I had the courage to post a few years ago when the beauty community was still thriving. I love Yt but I was a full time makeup artist. When Covid hit I thought what am I waiting for? I love it. And I love reading comments like yours. Thankyou so much!
@@erinparsonsmakeup I have to say your presence is so refreshing now. The beauty community was so toxic for too long on here and it became more about drama than art.
You’re a breath of fresh air after all that mess, and your passion and knowledge of makeup feels very authentic. May you continue to thrive.
@@Nichole.Monroe And let's be honest here, these videos seem driven by a love of the artistry and the history. A genuine passion comes across loud and clear!
@@LaynieFingers exactly
_"Lo que sucede, conviene."_ The "still thriving" community period of time reached such a level of drama, gossip and toxiciy that didn' t deserve you and your content. We don' t have a time machine to see what would had happened if you had popped then, in the middle of that jungle of flying knives. Sometimes sooner ≠ better, dorogaya. Clearly, your moment to shine is now. 🧛🏻♀️🖤
I remember the uproar over carmine in the Starbucks drink and being like … y’all never heard of carmine? Not sure how I knew because chemistry is so not my subject but I thought it was common knowledge. 🤷🏻♀️ I love how you presented this and I adored your episode on Beautiful and Bothered! You’re so accomplished yet so humble. 💖💖💖
If women in the past died for beauty -- looking at you lead based EVERYTHING -- I think I can bear wearing bugs on my lips. Wonderful video as always!
The titanium dioxide turning the lipstick lilac totally makes sense, it's a super strong white pigment! But not having it at all might be what caused the patchiness, since it probably cotributes a lot to the opaqueness of the lipstick... so interesting that that ammount barely dilluted the carmine pigment but def did it with your pigment.
That’s what shocked me too! I seriously want to learn cosmetic chemistry because I bet there’s a very simple answer to this. But for me I just do a bit of trial and error 😅 gonna keep studying and experimenting on UA-cam
The lilac would work for an eyeshadow
Imagine how pretty it would look
@@erinparsonsmakeup i'll definitely be seated, i love make-up and science! 🤣 Loved the idea you mentioned of trying it with the 30s base too, it's so interesting to see how make-up was done in the past!! Your channel really is a gem ❤
@@yourmincemeat5233 you're so right, wonder if it would keep the punch in a dry formula... maybe she just cracked out to make a great lilac matte haha
Bugs menu is now available for human consumption 😂
I really would love to see that 1930s formula with the cochineal!! Your vids are always so full of such interesting stuff Erin! Thanks for doing all the research!!
same
i’m a person of many micro interests , n i didn’t know vintage makeup was one of them until i watched you. i’m obsessed with how obsessed you are and how knowledgeable you are and i feel like i’m learning without all the bore that comes with learning. plsss make more videos, i love it here.
I heard of cochineal previously because of an article about its use in Campari. It was very interesting. The purple-ish powder looks like the Princess Pat blush you have from the 1920's.
Campari ❤ I didn‘t know, but I don’t mind bugs in my food or make- up 😅
I don't usually wear makeup these days but I do enjoy watching videos about it occasionally. But your channel? How you mix history and even science with makeup, and how your videos always so well researched and incredibly educational, I LOVE IT. Thanks for your amazing content!
I love doing it so Thankyou for your sweet comment!
I don't wear makeup much anymore, either, but I still love these kinds of videos❤
Love watching make videos, love collecting makeup, but too lazy to put it on! Too much work!!!
@@erinparsonsmakeupwhen you say washing powder can you elaborate? Thanks in advance!❤
As a kid in the 1970s (UK), I remember the little bottles of red food colouring for cakes and frosting, etc. actually being called Cochineal. Now whether that was the actual name on the label, or just what my mother referred to it as I cannot be sure.
Oh how interesting! I wonder how many of the food colorings we used was the carcinogen one 😅
Just what I was thinking too. I've been trying to find those little bottles of food colouring recently. Are they still available??
My mum taught that word to me - also with reference to food colouring (also across The Pond!) I'm 47, so I'm guessing we're a similar age.
@@sandym7952ep! Get them at the grocery store by the extracts usually. I have some rn ❤ still super inexpensive!
@@jennytaylor3324 Brit here as well, my Mum used to call it Cochineal, and explained it was made of crushed beetles. I remember reading the label on the little bottle and it had "Carmine" written on it, which my Mum described as the "beetley bit", she also advised me not to tell my brothers or they wouldn't eat it! lol, as if they'd say no to cake 😂
I’d really rather use the cocoineal lipstick base bugs or not. . I’ve ALWAYS put on lipstick before I even answered the door! Thank you for encouraging us all to use these reds remembering the timeless love affair we’ve all had with the color. You’re amazing.
You make me actually want to wear make up. I just wish my skin wasn't so overly sensitive to everything. But my goodness, everything about you is amazing and the way you talk to the audience and educate them (us?) is so soothing. Completely 100% I love it.
Erin has extremely quicly became my fav makeup youtuber not only for the makeup itself but the history and her research is amazing and really cool to wach and learn
I remember learing about cochineal when Hourglass created a red pigment that was supposed to be revolutionary for being a perfect carmine dupe without using insects
I have to look into that one. I know they sent me but I’m curious to compare colors 🤔
Was a lipstick or a blush?
@@pyromaniac709 lipstick, i think they called it Red 0
I wrote a paper in High School on the history of makeup, so I’ve been in love with the subject for a long time. You are the patron saint of coolness Ms Parsons, truly enjoy your content!
I hope you start your own makeup brand and make a lipstick line with lanolin as an ingredient and all of these gorgeous colors! I’m a lipstick junkie but my dry lips keep my options limited. 💜❤
I’d love this so much!! The only balm for my lips that keeps them super soft is lanolin
You are quite possibly the most enjoyable person on the planet!! Your knowledge of makeup is just incredible!!! I could watch you forever!!!! ❤
If I could devote all my time to research I truly would. Thanks for your sweet comment! 🤗
Your style is quite beautiful, and you have this unique aura. I hope to have the confidence you have in your enjoyments 🖤
Yes, I have no issues using carmine. Jane Airedale uses it in her makeup line.
I loved this. After watching your video, I went on a rabbit hole of research and found out how the bugs were harvested, produced, etc. This was fascinating.
Oh hell yes! Always love a longer video from you and always learn so much! Btw you look absolutely stunning with the blonde hair!
I’m gonna go a little lighter since I’m almost there 😅 platinum and then work my way back dark. Variety is the spice of life! Hope my hair hangs on 😝
Woww, it was so interesting
Ooooh. Can we get more history? That was fascinating. I'd love to see more about historic cosmetics.
Wow Erin, this looks amazing! 😍 Now I need to try making my own carmine… I’m dreaming about using different amounts of base to get different final colours 🤔 Thank you so much for sharing my book ❤❤❤
I just subbed to your channel because of Erin! Love the recipes, many of which I have from really old books but you’ve updated- go you! Cheers! Jet 🧡🎸🎶⚡️
How interesting! I love love love historical cosmetic stories. Thank you so much for bringing this to us. And, I couldn’t care less that there are bugs in the product. Lol
Nice to know I’m not alone 😝😊
Now THIS is the makeup/history content that we all need! Another amazing video 😘😘
Every video (all your content, really) you release is a hit!! So refreshing to have a real professional in the online makeup space
I love that it’s a bug!!! That means it comes from the earth and will go straight back to the earth!!!
Omg I love this. I'm Mexican and my color is a nice tan and I've never been able to find a red that fits me. I usually go for the darker one you created!! That's one..... OMGGG!!! LOVEEEE!!❤❤
As long as I look amazing, it doesn't matter if my lipstick has bugs in it or not. I am still alive 😂!
I am really happy that I found your videos 😊!
Is it weird that I am beginning to feel like these makeup history videos are giving me a Tasting History vibe? I love it!
Beautiful Iconic Erin, you never cease to amaze us. Who needs History books when we have you? This is so cool!
Girllll you really just be doing anything and i'm so here for it!! Like you're such a slayy. I also love that you explained the colonial history behind it and credited indigenous people 🪶🧡
I'm always so very excited when I see a notification from you Erin. Your content fills my little heart with joy. I usually prefer cruelty free products, but I'm not opposed to the use of carmine, especially considering that it's in some of my favourite lipsticks. So excited for your upcoming content. To say I'm an Erin Parsons fan is an understatement. You are beautiful inside and out and I absolutely adore you. Lots of love, Anna (UK)
Erin, I don't know how you do it. I'm not particularly interested in beauty, science OR history, but this video was SO MUCH FUN! The way you combine these three topics along with your delivery, passion and charisma makes your content so unique, educational, and truly a joy to watch. ♥
It's always a treat to watch your videos. So wonderfully made and spoken so well on top of the Information given? It's a no brainer to click and watch. Please continue making videos. They are such a treat, a luxury even, to watch and enjoy this content. Love the combo of beauty, science, and history!
I hit this video's like button because the amount of work, money, time, energy, and thinking this woman gave to this video is jaw-dropping
i absolutely adore these type of videos, i could watch them for hours so i’m excited to see what you create next
you are genuinely my favorite person on youtube i get so excited for any content you put out. i talk about you to everyone i know to the point its probably annoying. thanks for being you ! you inspire me so much and i appreciate you more than you could know. wishing you the best ~
I just love learning the history behind these things 🥰 I've gained so much knowledge watching your channel, thank you so much for all you do ❤️
Thank you for the history,so many people are quick to judge and jump on the bandwagon, you're bueatiful and your love and passion really shows❤
This was fascinating! Perfectly researched and executed once again! I would definitely love to see that dark purple color with a different base. Honestly, the light purple was also kind of fun too! You can pull off any color it seems. You're a gorgeous canvas for makeup science! ❤
I really love the way you put music in the background of your videos that match the vibe, and the way you explain everything clearly is so amazing!!!
Absolutely love how you get into the topic immediately caught my attention immediately and not all the unnecessary fluff at the beginning of the video. It helps my adhd brain
This was so fuuuun! Felt like I was at a class I would pay to go to at my cultural center 😄 such rich history and hands on amazingness ❤
I truly love these videos and appreciate the time and effort you put into them. Can’t wait for the next one.
I get so excited every time you post new content!!! You are such a brilliant, creative and talented human! Thank you for sharing your love of not only makeup itself but the origins and history of where it started. So fascinating!!
That soft purple / violet colour that you made with titanium dioxide is also very beautiful 👏
I’ll have to use it as a blush next 😊
You're my new favorite channel ❤! I've watched all your videos over and over, especially to sleep (You have a peaceful ambiance if that makes sense. 😅) Thanks for taking us down these rabbit holes with you.
Love your channel! Love the science and history you tell and use in your episodes! ❤🥰💋
i discovered your channel through shorts but i’ve become obsessed with your long form videos!! something about the way you present your videos is totally captivating but also relaxing. anyways, i think i’ve found a new passion in vintage makeup🫶
I absolutely love your videos. Your videos include history and art in the form of makeup, its always good to see people like you who are actually passionate and love what you are doing. I can't wait to see more videos from you.
That is the bloodiest blood red I've ever seen...like, this should be the fake blood in horror flicks. It's SO believable 😍 also I just realized you're so close to 1M followers!! ❤
She rocks every look
Thanks again, Erin! Your content is just so enjoyable, entertaining, yet full of useful tricks and historical data - you’re so unique in the beauty content creator’s universe! Thanks for doing all these for us ❤️
I love your channel! I have always been fascinated by history and interested in making my own cosmetics. You have insppired me in many ways, including making my own compact inspired by vintage design. I think that using a renewable resource that has obviously not been harmed by the trade over all this time sounds like a wonderful idea. I am going to have to give this a try at home myself!!
I want to rewatch this video a thousand times!!! I love it so so much ❤❤❤ I personally do not mind cochineal in any of my products, I don’t need a lipstick to be vegan, I need it to work, to last, to be stunning ✨✨✨ Erin you are the best🙌🏼
This was definitely, by far, the most glamorous and interesting science class that I've ever sat through. I enjoyed learning about the history and seeing the different shades of red that you created.
Edit: If you do make other lipstick formulas I hope that you film it and share it with us.
This is channel what all true makeup enthusiast needed for so many years. No bs about new Natasha Denona boring pallets, being painted by boyfriends dog or irrelevant blabbering why ABH is in declaim. You are true makeup guru!
You’re the best professor! I love taking make-up 101 with you! ❣️
WE LOVE WOMEN IN STEM BABY!!!
Erin! This was absolutely fascinating and thanks for introducing me to Humblebee's youtube too! ♥
👋🏻 welcome! ❤❤
@@HumblebeeAndMe Hi, I can't wait to binge your entire catalogue, thanks for everything! ♥
The color is beyond! A lush saturated red that stands alone. Love her. She is fierce
I just love how you put a little bit of history from all ages into your tutorials.. learn something all the time
Neat!! The variation in shades is amazing. The history of pigment is fascinating stuff
I'm just now watching a short film from Warner bros in 1937. A musical, about 15 minutes, technicolor, but the great thing is that they show an actress being made up in the studio makeup dept. The techniques are just as you say. Tons of Rouge, brushed on lipstick, and they show them putting on false eyelashes. Must see
What’s it called 🤩
Please do tell!
Could you please say the title of the film you mentioned????😍
@erinparsonsmakeup it was on Turner Classic Movies, I didn't look up in time to see the credit but it starred character actor Fritz Feld, who had a long career. He played a crazy movie director. Its about a girl from a studio tour group bring chosen for the lead in a musical. The guy playing the make up artist sings as he paints her face. (It's obviously someone else's hands doing the work) she of course turns out to be a killer dancer, gunning off all kinds of stuff en Pointe. The make up techniques are just as you say, tons of Rouge, then pounded with powder.
@r.g.36 I'm afraid I did see, it was on Turner Classic Movies
I'm so entranced every time i watch your videos. I dont know if its the way you speak, the subject matter, or how you edit the video in such a concise and organized way, I love every second and always look forward to the next one!
You are the perfect example of someone who has taken their career to a higher level. As an artist and creative myself - I truly appreciate all your hard work and the copious amounts of in depth research that makes your channel so fascinating. You are so natural in front of the camera, as well. (you have a soothing speaking voice - which is another bonus) - Love your channel!
Technically my career as a makeup artist, I got probably as far as I could before Covid - but truthfully, I love filming these videos even more. I truly appreciate your kind words, Thankyou!
Erin- FABULOUS! Keep em coming. This is the content I live for! Please look into the arsenic green of the 1800s - DON'T RECREATE IT 😂I'm sure you know all about it. It's my favorite color and the history of it is frightening but still absolutely fascinating. talk about an eyeshadow color to die for.
My God - you are the makeup queen!! The knowledge you have blows my mind.
I love the colors you made! I can honestly say bugs don’t bother me. Its not like they just crush them & add them in the end- you wont be eating crunchy bugs.
I am not bothered by the bugs. I’d rather have natural over chemicals every day.
The way you teach us the history of makeup is amazing!!!
I bloody love you and your videos. They are such a treat, Erin! And also I love that you used a wig cap as a filter. Because it's always about the glamour, darling 💜
I don't care if my makeup, or even food, contains cochineal. It's a much better alternative to toxic dyes.The dark purple lipstick looks stunning! Hope the 1930s recipe has a better consistency because the color is great.
Ruby Woo is my favorite red lipstick and I do not care that they are bugs in it. Thank you so much for the video. You never cease to amaze me. It was very educational and beautifully done ❤️❤️❤️❤️
So cool! Luv this!!
Your homemade red with the carmine is the most beautiful red/burgundy color I’ve ever seen in a lipstick. That is truly a red that anyone can wear. I love, love, love your channel. Thank you for sharing your passion for makeup, science, and history with us. Those three things are my favorite things to learn about.❤
Historically most everything has not been “vegan” or “cruelty free”, that whole thing is a relatively new phenomenon, perhaps from the 1960’s and influenced by artsy fartsy eastern philosophy. The truth is that in nature everything consumes something else to exist, there’s no shame in that, the shame would be in wasting or taking more than you need.
😂 👏
100%.
Like one of our university biology professors said when he gives his daughter a beef burger, at least the meat is dead. But when she eats salads, there are thousands of cells screaming once she takes the bite. That is his true observation of plant cells under microscope in his work.
I thought it was Western Philosophy since all this americans are crazy about it…
@@jamiebonnielee4657Please, its such an idiotic way of thinking. First of all, cells cant scream and its not like cells can feel the pain. The fact that you eat something that has functionating cells in it doesnt change a thing. Its about the whole organism that you consume - the animals have a nervous system and they feel the pain before the mass slaughter that is in fact exessive for our needs. So well, I prefer to eat something alive that doesnt feel instead of something that has to suffer most of their lifes and finally be killed to be eaten.
@2:00 geishas are not prostitutes
I noticed too & left comment about the differences between Geisha & Oiran.😊
I absolutley loved this video! Thank you for all the info!!
LOVE how those pigments and lipsticks turned out!
I’ve mainly thought of animal cruelty associated with cosmetics as bunnies and rodents being tested on in labs with hair dye and lipstick but I never really considered. I’d definitely prefer to use cruelty free and vegan makeup because there are plenty of cosmetics that don’t involve animals that can look the same as ones that do. Kinda funny that ships would be robbed if they had red pigments.
You're right that generally cruelty free refers to animal testing. Vegan refers to the ingredients themselves containing animal products. Many cruelty free products are not vegan and many brands that are not cruelty free have vegan ranges. It definitely be confusing I can't help but feel some ads are deliberately misleading!
I certainly don’t want any animals being subjected to laboratory research either. But with bugs, I guess I don’t feel bad.😅
I love that you support cochinile use! I'm from Mexico, live in a pretty small city, and my friend has cactus on her house, with cochinile! My neighbour does too, love your videos so much!!!! ♥️
FASCINATING! I love your history of different makeup and how it was used.
Yes..love the history...Love your professionalism!!!
