Beauty - Victorian Era to 1930's

Watch this video on my site http://www.lisae.me.uk/16479 for product links, tips and more info.

This was the most difficult video I've ever had to edit as I had to cut out so many great anecdotes, interesting facts and amazing products. Seriously, I think I could easily have made a 10 minute film for each decade!

Anyway here is a little glimpse of my visit to the house and collection of Madeleine Marsh. I tried to stay calm and focused but inside I was bursting to get my hands on all the amazing treasures that surrounded me! The second half of this video will feature the 1940's through to the 70's and some incredible items - Mary Quant crayons, the IT palette all the cool British girls aspired to own during the war and a powder compact in the shape of a grand piano... to name just a few! Stay tuned X

Madeleines book is called The History of Compacts and Cosmetics: Beauty From Victorian Times to the Present Day and you can buy it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1844680495/

awesome so interesting ! During World war 1 i think that the women used to pour gravy on their legs and draw a seam on the back of their legs with an eye liner to look like stockings ! x

Thanks so much for your research and sharing this history with the world. I thought the series of videos showing vintage collections was truly amazing.

This was the most amazingly interesting video I have seen to date. I am definitely going to try and get my hands on her book.

@LaurenL09x I was always lead to believe the staining of the legs was with tea/coffee rather than gravy. I feel the gravy would've been a little too sticky.

I could watch this for hours. This is amazing.

After what I heard and saw I am definitely purchasing this book. Knowing how, when, under what circumstances things which we have now and concider as normal or even granted were created and developed just gives you a totally new and enhanced view of makeup and beauty. Thank you, Lisa for sharing this wonderful experience with us!!!
