1940's Fashion Film - Tutorial - How to Apply Makeup

[FaerieCrone]

I'm naturally very pale and never sit in the sun. I use a tinted moisturizer - looks much more natural than fake tan.

[carol17x]

we should get back to this!!! less is always more

[Makeupbyjessi25]

That's lot of makeup

[Renovering]

Å ingen mascara?Eller var ikke det med i klippet?

[GoudaBeluga]

@Renovering Jag tror att de inte använder mascara eftersom det är en video för yngre flickor, som inte skulle bära mycket smink.

[TheDellanator]

HOLY SHIT! Look how much powder she put! and the powder was white to!

[blueipodgal94]

i have pale skin and like it but that girls foundation was white and had no colour in it

[KalidescopeSkittles]

some girls in my class need to watch this.

blend into the hairline.

seriously, their neck is white and their face is brown.

[TheDellanator]

@KalidescopeSkittles I dont get why pale girls want to look tan. I mean im naturally tanned but I think being Pale and being Dark are both beautiful. But being Pale and then putting dark makeup on your face or using a fake tan looks DISGUSTING!

[KalidescopeSkittles]

@TheDellanator actually you can be dark skinned and pale, pale just means having little color. its a good thing

[TheDellanator]

@KalidescopeSkittles having little colour means you have low saturated skin. Pale means very light.

[YenieD13]

Im now starting to get more into make up, so here's a stupid question. What exactly is vanishing cream?

[glamourdaze]

@YenieD13 essentially a makeup remover, but mixed in a thick creamy moisturiser

[Cutiebeautyable]

Wow this is amazing xx

[lamodette1]

haa 'remember..lots of people will see you in profile'...great vid

[0001connie]

I love the packaging of makeup back in the day so much more than today

[fromoxfordwithluv]

while they do have pale skin, obviously - you must also remember that the quality of the filming itself and the colour almost all things filmed were like then.

[peachkeeny]

Off topic but,

You have no idea how encouraging pro pale skin comments are. I have milky white skin and I get teased for it every day of my life. I can't wear any clothes showing skin without people commenting on how ugly my skin is or how I should get a tan. It doesn't effect me too much anymore since I've been dealing with it for a long time but I don't think people realize how cruel and racist those comments are and I'm so glad there are people out there who appreciate the pale look :')

[MrsSarb]

@peachkeeny I have very pale skin as well. When I was younger, I would go to tanning beds and I tried very hard to get a tan, but it just doesn't work for me. I was called Casper as a kid whenever I went swimming. Anyway, a few years ago they found skin cancer on my arm. It's not worth it to try and be something that you aren't. Just remind yourself that skin isn't worth it. Fortunately mine wasn't serious but it had to be removed and I have a scar there now.

[idig]

I love their tips for blush and lipstick ! 

[cristiah89]

what song is this?

[mynameiskirstydoogan]

Omg, I think I have that lipstick at 1:14

[sammforbeauty]

I wish it took me only 1-2 minutes to get ready...

[niamh2739]

Wow they where on a whole nother level of cosmetic wear than we are today...what is vanashing cream? Is a makeup pat like half cream/powder blend? what is it? I dont even know if you can still get loose rouge anywhere anymore lol but these where the basics and they where keeping it simple.

[edison27kong]

@niamh2739 You can actually get vanishing cream these days,ive seen it in the supermarket,and its actually from ponds!

[payless1981]

wayyy too much powder

[TheDellanator]

"Blend in carefully till no one can see the rouge is there, not even you" <--- then what's the point in putting the rouge on?

[GaGa4Kate]

these people ever heard of like eye shadow??

[pukupukii]

so simple LOL

[zaiya121]

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT; THE CORPS LOOK!

[lamujermaslinda]

What's rouge? is it the blush?

[MariannaKhanBeauty]

@lamujermaslinda It is blush/lipstick anything that adds a reddish or pinkish tone to lips and cheeks. I believe that back then lipstick would be rouge as it was pretty multipurpose.

[pessimisticlemons]

This makes me pleased to have pale skin. Not as pale as this, but not tanned either :)

[akinnasuam]

im naturally pale and i love it. with blonde hair it doesnt look sick at all. i also like it when i get a little tanned in the summertime but i will never be able to be as tanned as other people (also i dont want to). its nice to know that beauty standards change from time to time...

[julide88]

pale skin because of avoiding any sun or using lightening stuff is as bad as tanned skin. both can look very ugly. one looks dead the other one looks like grilled chicken.

[granduchessgwen]

@julide88 Dita Von Teese avoids any sun, from what I've read, and I think her skin looks very nice. D:

[julide88]

@granduchessgwen its a matter of taste i guess. but what i meant is that people should accept their skin color. it looks unnatural anyway when they try to overdo. either to make it pale or tanned.

[porcelaindoll2]

@julide88 I've only had a few people ever tell me I looked dead and the ones that did were usually tanorexic. I have had ton of people tell me how beautiful my complexion is. I get complemented on it all the time.

[julide88]

@porcelaindoll2 well maybe you should read again what i wrote. if you are pale then its ok as well as if you are darker tanned. it only looks bad when you try to force your skin into a specific color which is against your natural skin color.

[BeautyxinChains]

@julide88 I work at a Sephora in a city just outside of Vancouver, BC with a large Asian population, and so many women want a pink shade of foundation to wear over their naturally warmer skin tones! It looks awful but it's cemented culturally in their minds that that's beautiful, very sad.

[julide88]

@BeautyxinChains Well that is really pretty sad, but every country has its own beauty standarts. Too bad those standarts are always the opposite of what we are :(

[pisceanmind]

@julide88 I was about to say, hey some of us are naturally pale until i saw because of avoiding sun hahaha

[julide88]

@pisceanmind Lol yes I should have been more clearly in my statement. People with naturally pale skin have to avoid sun anyway as far as I know. But as you recognized, I just meant that we should accept and love our skin color (as it changes naturally in each season anyway) and not force it to another skin tone as it looks unnatural and also isn't good for our skin and health.

[KalidescopeSkittles]

@julide88 its the old cameras. they dont have full color yet.

[julide88]

@KalidescopeSkittles Oh my. I still get comments.. Well, my comment surely wasn't directly to the girls in the video. I know that this vid is old and they didn't have super cameras back then. I was responding more to the general discussion about skin colors and people who force their skin to a shade which is against their natural color just because it is "in". Please read my further comments here, then you will understand. Thanks.

[junkholder]

This is exactly how i learned to put on makeup back in the day. Times have really changed! I love these bids!

[AlisCL2]

@Joeyg143

color came out in the 20's, but it faded quickly and wasn't very good, so it wasn't commonplace until the 50's when they had a better system

[alghanimreem]

models were not as skinny .. thats sad :(

[LapinChocolat]

@alghanimreem

What's wrong with models that has a healthy weight like those ladies?

[alghanimreem]

@LapinChocolat i meant that its sad for the models today who have to lose alot of weight . those laidies in the video look gorgeous <3

[LapinChocolat]

@alghanimreem Oh ok!! I'm sorry! D: You're totally right tho, i feel the same way!

[lizdaleon]

simple yet elegant :)

[Deadlove4you]

I love this vid.

[Joeyg143]

Why is it in color if it's in the 40s? Didn't color not even come until 49?

[ItsJillStrif]

@Joeyg143 Color was way before 1949. For example, The Wizard of Oz was made in 1938.

[Joeyg143]

@ItsJillStrif DERP, 39 not 49. Thanks for the correction haha.

[ItsJillStrif]

@Joeyg143 LOL np. And Oz wasn't even the first movie with color!

[CRaZy4RiGHT]

Oh ohh dont rub your skin... Awwhhh too late:P

[Tinymoezzy]

My mother used to watch those films in her finishing classes and they went over very well, i still use the three point cheek colour system when applying rogue and it works perfectly.

[rainbowangel58]

I wish I could be that pale! I love pale skin so much more than that horrible orange tan so many girls my age have today!

[GossamerWaits]

@rainbowangel58

I think it (the film) was originally black and white, that added some color just not much to the skin lol.

[TheFruityPeach]

they are so pale!!!

[allylovesu14]

i LOVE her red nails lol



[cheerbeastly]

@tweldofame the microphones werent very good so they had to annunciate every word and use a certain pitch

[Tweldofame]

why does every single woman and man have a certain voice type before the 60s? is it the cameras or somthing?

[ArmagonAuthor]

Makeup hasn't changed that much, it seems.

[EinkOLED]

Where has the class gone? When women became men.

[itsjusthoarse]

that is crazzzzzzzyyyyy hahaha. i've always wanted a compact powder cause they smell good and idk it seems classic my mom saideveryone used to have them back in her days.

it's weird how the lipstick is the main part and nowadays it's about black eyeliner and wing'd nonsense.

.........that i am slightly guilty of

[BellaSilvery]

I knew I was born at the wrong time!

[godlesswickedvanian]

I wish more makeup artists would pay attention to this sort of thing.If you look at magazines from the 1940s,the makeup ads DID NOT contain models in crazy eye shadows and definately NOT the "cat eye/ wing out of the corner".People don't realize how limited makeup products were.I have vintage makeup kits.No liquid liners,no eye shadows ( other than the occasionaly very pale mocha).Very classy!

[JsgHair71]

@godlesswickedvanian I have my mother's old makeup kit from the 40s and she definitely had eye makeup in it. She had cream shadow in several colors and used Maybelline cake mascara in brown her entire life on her lashes and brows. They used those cake mascaras as liners too but my mom did not. She explained it to me that they didn't use eye makeup that often because many products were single purpose and therefore wasteful during the war. Lipstick could be multipurpose so everyone used it.

[MissAmanDuhMad]

@godlesswickedvanian umm well just like anything it evolved into that. this look is very GWEN w/o the liner.

[TheEgyptianOne]

its funny how people use to call lip stick rooge, noe thats old school!!

[missiwonderwhy]

@TheEgyptianOne rouge (not rooge) is blusher lol. i used to make mistakes like that like ALL the time :) xxx

[Emgee78]

what about mascara? or liner?

[valericool]

@Emgee78 I know! Liner and mascara are very important too.

[OhHiNebulae]

@DandyStranger The way people now view makeup of this past is mainly through models and old Hollywood. It is a very glamorized view of what actually took place. Obviously a young woman just getting ready for an average day(which is what this video was made for) was not going to do her makeup like an actress.

[BellaSilvery]

very cute :)

[cStudmuffin]

That's what you call authentic.

[PurpleAntiqueRoses]

@DandyStranger You're definitely right. It's extremely basic/dull.

[FollieDoll]

@DandyStranger Either way, I'm pretty sure this set of films is meant for young women. They didn't need all of that heavy liner to look good(plus, you stated it was "burlesque", this is "Everyday") And in all of the makeup I've seen for the 40's, I've rarely come across strong cat liner.

[PurpleAntiqueRoses]

@DandyStranger I think you're right. Maybe that was most commonly worn by glamor models or movies stars.

[PurpleyeZ408]

WHEN MAKEUP WAS LESS COMPLICATED!

[noirpoetix1]

no mascara? I also think that girl could have had her brows tweezed and lightly filled in with a neutral color to bring a little more attention to her eyes since her lipstick was so bold. cute video though!

[FollieDoll]

@DandyStranger That was actually a more 1950's-60's thing.

[crazzymusic00]

How to use a lot of make up to look like you have none WOW

[GurlyGurlnteenysceny]

@DandyStranger well this was during (or after ) the war, makup wasnt readily available. but at 1:48 theres an eyeshadow.

[sidneysemone]

Nothing dates you as much as rouge that shows! OK!

[JazyGirl26]

no eyes?? lol

[SuperSylvia7]

I guess the ghost look was in back then...!

[aqua2291]

this is priceless!

[ysbaddaden2003]

Almost all of them look like they need to drink some blood.

[posergirl06]

Wow they used a lot of powder

[saltyypeoch]

"Vanishing cream"

[MissGoldenDreams13]

Does anyone know what form the blush is in? I mean, was it in powder form, or was it like the 1940's equivalent of a cream blush?

[noirpoetix1]

@MissGoldenDreams13 it looked as though it was in a stick form. I've seen some blushes that were like that (in my 5 years of being a makeup artist) but they were usually cheek stains which are HORRID.

[killingkat100]

awesome

[xMizzDollFacex]

oh ya the powder is certainly not noticeable XD

[TahshaTPitsMe]

Why their makeup looked always perfectly still. I use a beautiful smelling power made by Maja, it was from my grandmother. She still looks like she's in her 50's because she does her makeup this classic way. It's a natural SPF

[teslagirlM]

Thanks for sharing this great video! such ladies! (the hostess looks like an actress in Harry Potter. Can't think of the character's name)

[DanaInWonderland93]

What is vanishing cream?

[Mr1920s]

@DanaInWonderland93

Im pretty sure it was similar to modern liquid foundation

[coraliehkmcg]

fantastic tutorial, you're so pretty :p lol i love Sally Hansen makeup especially, i get wonderful freeby samples from - Gratis Makeup Samples - ne1 else?

[lizzybytheshore]

Some of these tips are actually still good.

Vanishing cream was made by Pond's or at least the most popular one,. It came with a pink label. The purpose of it was to give the skin a matte finish and help absorb some of the excess oil. It was still being sold as recently as the 80's. They must have discontinued it. I used it a lot when I was a teen and early twenties as my skin was very oily,

[lavarae]

The fade in/out was a bit too slow, probably would have been a good tutorial but the effect gave me eye ache. I give this feedback to be helpful and not as a criticism. Best wishes.

[piinkwendo]

Disgustiing!

[GingerGilligan]

Where's the eye makeup?

[katie910324]

@MatthewWelch6674 Garnier makeup is disgraceful...

[m2cm8]

love it, thanks

[MeezaZeeXoX95]

can u plz tell me wat fashion film this is from i am begging u

[PurplePop101]

i LOVE THIS

[redenchilada]

What is "vanishing cream"? Is that what they called "foundation", or is it something else?

[gallianogown]

@redenchilada  vanishing cream was moisturized that kept the face oil free and matte. it didnt really change or even the skin tone.

[sallyofseattle]

Interesting about the application of lipstick...and the blush dotting procedure...surprisingly some of this is still good advice even today! But what is vanishing creme? must be what we today call liquid makeup?

[Mariannacanupp]

someone that loves makeup as much as me lol i get great cosmetic stuff from Gratis Makeup Samples - theyre ace

[anuskarhcp]

where do you get those videos? I love them!!!!

[dieannadior618]

why do they look so pale ?

[nederland4045]

Because pale looks good?

I will never understand why people today want to look brown or even orange.

[Victorian9322]

@nederland4045 I am naturally brown and that is racist.

[nederland4045]

@Victorian9322 Not really.

I am pale, why would I want to look brown?

You are brown, would you want to look white?

Why would anyone want to have their skin a different colour then it is?

[valericool]

@nederland4045 Well, not everybody is born pale and white, so not everybody can be this pale. Sorry to tell you that.

And I guess some girls who are white want to tan because they simply want to. I think they have the right to, or don't they?

[nederland4045]

@valericool I couldn't care less about people wanting to change their skin colour or not, they can do as they please.

Doesn't mean I have to understand it though or pretend that I don't think it is weird.

I like pale, if people like to be brown they can go for it, but orange?!

[PutOnYourLipstick]

@dieannadior618 because it's in black and white...so everything is grey except the bright reds that they've colored artificially

[sadamitsu]

the song in the background is by benny goodman - good bye

[LaraCoffey86]

i actually tried applying my blusher like this, versus my normal way the other day and TWO people at work remarked separately on my skin that day, one told me i looked 'fresh faced' !

[GoldenEyes121]

it's talcum powder. Ponds.

[maleficentdiva]

are they actually putting on foundation, or moisturizer? it sounded like she was saying "vanishing cream" is that the same as foundation.. I have never seen "vanishing cream" before. I could not hear it right.

[genatzvalee]

Vanishing cream is a regular non-oily face cream. That's how they called it back then. There were cold cream (greasy one) and vanishing cream (meaning that it gets absorbed and doesn't remain on a surface)

[LoveliestCherry]

"nothing dates you as much as rouge that shows!" LOVING this...

[NamelessShadow90]

hmmm, I could've sworn they wore eye make up in the 40s...guess not....

[MeezaZeeXoX95]

they did for going out but back then lipstick and powder was much more important then eye makeup. hope this helps

[gallianogown]

@NamelessShadow90

some did, but most women didnt. ones that did wore neutral shadows in the crease to make the eyes more deep set, and then mascara but thats it. it was all about the skin and the lips

[nena505]

0:48 That tip for blush is great and I think I'll be using it!

[een110]

lol, interesting..

[AnniPink5]

I love the video, thanks for posting this! It's interesting, since it seems they have a different way of apply blush, then what most people use today. Most people I know put blush on their cheekbones and a little bit above. Almost like a crescent moon shape.

[chloedancer]

my favourite part was when she said 'be sure that the lipstick harmonises with your rouge and your nail polish' classic

[2emeraldeyes]

Where has the class gone? Very cute video thank you for sharing it.

[ilyhomeyg]

That one chick looks like a ghost

[actingangel6295]

o my goodness i loved this!! i love makeup AND vintage things so this is brilliant!

[hillkatback]

This is great.  Really interesting.

[charlestonwoman]

Very interesting video, thank you!

[050178]

Very good, thank u

[althazarr]

Thanks for the vintage video, even though I don't think I need to worry about putting on makeup. ha ha I appreciate you sharing this. I do like the background music too.

[dlvme2]

That is perfect for how to place blush especially if you are a little older as often it is placed too close to the nose.

[LisaFreemontStreet]

BRILLIANT! I'm favoriting AND subscribing!

[poofgal]

This is great.Thanks.

That woman reminds me of my maths teacher though.
