  • How interesting about tuberculosis creating a fashion inspiration!

  • @TheInternationalC I know, I thought that was really interesting when I was researching. :)

  • your welcome, stay beautiful.

  • i think you look better without the makeup

  • @EVOLBMWM6 Thank you. :)

  • If you want to get inspiration for your next 1920's makeup tutorial, I highly recommend you watch "Kodak 1922 Kodachrome Film Test" by atqui here on YouTube. (Especially during the part with Mae Murray.) Not only does it give you an idea of what makeup looked like in person back then, it is like actually EXPERIENCING the 1920's!

  • If you want to get some information for your second 1920's makeup tutorial, I highly recommend you see the video, "Kodak 1922 Kodachrome Film Test", especially during the part with Mae Murray. Not only does it give you a glimpse into makeup styles of the period, it is like looking into a window into the 1920's!

  • If you're going to make another video, you should use some blush on the apples of your cheeks too. (From what I've seen from illustrated movie magazine covers and two-strip Technicolor movies of that period, ladies wore a LOT of blush.) You should look into getting MAC's Dollymix blush or a dupe of it, especially since you have such porcelain skin, and you would want one that would register as a deep pink or almost red.

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 Oh definitely. :) That's another thing I missed in the first video.

  • I just watched your 1920's makeup tutorial and I wanted to tell you that you did a great job! The eye makeup was spot-on, as the concept of highlighting and contouring the eye hadn't been adopted yet. You shared at the end that you had a hard time doing the cupid's bow mouth, and that made me think of a makeup tip I know. Prime your lips with a concealer and powder (I use CoverGirl Fresh Complexion concealer) and your "Clara Bow" lipstick won't budge.

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 Aw thanks! It's not a BAD portrayal at all, but I do think I'll redo it. I realized that using a creme/gel eye liner probably wasn't the best choice, haha. And I didn't accentuate the inner corner as much as they did way back when, so it's probably best that I redo it anyway. Thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to use that. :)

  • Thank you for talking with me, I've learned a lot too. P.S. I'm really looking forward to your makeup video on the 1920's. Let the Jazz Age begin!

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 Well you're in luck cause I just posted the makeup tutorial a couple days ago. I'm editing the hair tutorial now. I think I might redo the makeup though, I realized once I posted it that I didn't include as much information as I have with previous looks, plus it's not as accurate of a portrayal as I'd like it to be.

  • It could also be a generational thing as well. Maybe the middle-aged and older women of that period strove for the sickly, pale look. (The book I quoted in the last comment mainly pertains to teenage girls and younger women, so that's where I get my assumption from.) Personally, whenever I think of the Edwardian Era, I think of the archetypal Gibson Girl: a young woman with a glowing complexion in the prime of her life.

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 It could very well be a generational thing. A lot of factors could play into it, really. Thanks for commenting haha, this conversation has been enlightening. :)

  • I got my interpretation of the early 1900's standard of beauty from the book, "The Body Project: An Intimate History of American Girls" by Joan Jacobs Brumberg. I quote from a photo caption in the center of the book about the Edwardian Era: "Adolescent girls in the "bloom of youth" were widely admired... Although American doctors at the time decried the ill health and fragility of America's young women, the girls of the American imagination were always vigorous, graceful, and athletic."

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 Hmm that's interesting. Well, I guess it all depends on where you look for information. Could it have been a regional thing, you think? Maybe women in other parts of the country were yearning to look youthful and young and not sickly, but in other parts, maybe they were.

  • While I enjoyed this video and think you did a good job with it, I actually disagree with your description of the "Edwardian look". In all of my research of this period, I have read that the beauty ideal of this period was that of the healthy, naturally gorgeous young woman: rosy cheeks, pink lips, and clear, radiant eyes. I think that the idea of this video is probably that of the mid-1800's, where women often strove to be extremely pale, and as you said, almost sickly-looking.

  • @MissGoldenDreams13 Oh really? We must have been researching in different places. Everywhere I looked told me that skin was unnaturally pale and women looked sickly. Here are a couple of my sources:

  • Why would anyone today wear this? I can also see that you only got your information from the first site that pops up on google if you search "makeup in the 1900's" ...and did not do any further research into it because what you said isnt the full story here.... sorry.

  • @SummerBug26 Someone might wear this if they have some kind of decades party where they want to look the part. The same reason people would want to do a 50s, 60s, 70s look. If you're interested in this decade, why not try to recreate it?

    And I didn't get all of the information from one link. I got it from several and they were all telling me the exact same thing. Here's a couple for you if you're interested:
