Glosstalgia

Glosstalgia tells the stories behind makeup, beauty and fashion in short magazine-collage videos: a hundred years of lipstick, where a trend really started, what's new this week.

Every episode is cut and pasted from the pages of its decades, with the dates and the sources listed in the description. And every one ends by pointing you to a human creator who teaches it properly, credited by name and channel.

Built from public sources: museum and library archives, brand histories and reputable beauty and fashion outlets. Product talk is a summary of public information, never our own testing. The pictures are drawn illustrations and period public-domain images, credited in each description; no logos.
