1000 Year Old Makeup… just a glimpse into my EPIC Vintage Makeup Collection! 

Yesssss

I agree with you - the book is a great read.

Oh yeaaah

Seriously though! I’d love to see makeup history around the world!

What a great idea! I'd love to produce it!

So pretty... have you seen the LBCC products?

Sisu Guillam no but I Googled them and wow I’m surprised

@@petark6632 in a good way, I hope. 🙂

Right! Now we’re paying $30 for a pressed powder in a cardboard box.

I totally agree! so much glamour

Omg yes! I would love this!

how do we not have an HBO series about the beginnings of the makeup industry! it would be so entertaining!

Yes, please!

Yes please

Email netflix asap! lol

Exactly!

Hahahahahaha

I am feeling very seen right now.

Ha ha i have one from clinique that is over 10 years old and yes it is RED!!

Thank you I never thought of it like this now I get to keep all my make up 😄

hey!!!!!! love your channel too

Helooo

Yesss! ❤️💋

Allana Davison Agreed..!!!❤️

Truly! Such glamour

I was thinking that exact thing. Actually I was wishing she hadn't skipped over any of the pieces. I'm a vintage make up enthusiast & collector.

Consider it encouraged.

The packaging and marketing is everything! It's so incredibly fascinating! Beauty is a multi-billion dollar business and is even though the product is important - what sells is virtually all about marketing/branding/packaging still today! I wish she would do a whole series on this! It's amazing to see how much has changed - yet stayed the same- in the world of beauty!

Right? I was thinking “oohhh please say that’s in the works!!!” 😂

Susan Figer Welling yes! And I want that sweater lol

Susan you should get her book 'Facepaint' - she talks beautifully about the connection between history /politics and cosmetics.

Would be the least we could do... I feel obligated.😃

Well now is the time to move to England. She has opened a studio only for two months where you see a few of her vintage collections.

Haha it's raining in Miami too. Perfect weather for this content 🙃

I agree!

Agree

I agree! I buy sample sizes of things for this exact reason!

Jo.....which is exactly the point. Whether we use 25, 50 or 75 percent of the content the companies have recouped their investment plus profit. The unused becomes yet another addition to our already overstuffed landfills. Similar to the Sam's Club/Costco sized food and beverage items.

That's why I am so thrilled with my pat mcgrath mini palette.

Believe it or not, we didn't get them. It was not shared though. My mother always told me never to share makeup. I used a cake type of "spit" mascara that was a gift from her for years before it finally gave out and never got one.

I could feel the pink eye/going blind through my phone🤣🤣🤣

If eye infections were rampant people would have stopped using it. Your own mouth bacteria will not generally give YOU pink eye lol.

People realize they touch their own eyes all the time? and your eyes encounter airborne germs from your environment all the time? right?

Just because only a few examples survive doesn't mean that only a few examples existed. In fact, ironically, it is the commonplace items that are the least likely to survive because they are common. In the modern era, a very small percentage of consumers are extremists. Content creators are the modern beauty editors and certainly not representative of the general population. And packaging is an important, thoughtful and expensive element of many brands. Before mass production of consumer goods and especially before plastics, most things had to be handmade and labor is what's most expensive. That's why slavery is so attractive to the bottom line. Anything labeled "Made in China" was certainly produced by people earning an unlivable wage. Human nature hasn't changed much through history. If women in the 20s and 30s had the opportunity and desire to hoard make up, they absolutely would have!!

@@kaseyc1350 I would have to disagree with your sentiment. I think what the OP was discussing was very much on point. You focused a bit too much on just the actions discussed instead of analyzing and thinking about the essence of such actions. Nowadays, it is certainly not only influencers who hoard…common people who have zero correlation to the beauty industry also hoard and buy ridiculous amounts of everything and it is extremely wasteful. Back in day while production of SOME items was more expensive than today, people simply did not hoard because the mindset was different back then. People had more appreciation for things and valued what they purchased. Even in the 70s when items started being made in plastics instead of metals, women still weren’t hoarding these cheaper items, which is indicative of the overall mindset of society at large. Influencers aren’t all “beauty editors”…a lot of them are simply trendwh0res who saw that collection videos were getting tons of views and so they began hoarding too. It is despicable. If These influencers were beauty editors then they would actually make videos with the makeup that is sent 5o them, for example, but more often than not, they don’t. They just receive, buy, hoard, and don’t make anything worthwhile with it until they make their “collection ” clips after which they end up throwing half of the products away. It is gross and this act was not present before our modern day nor was this way of thinking. It is commentary on society, not just the act of buying makeup. People took care of things back then because fast fashion wasn’t in demand…because people preferred to VALUE what they bought. Now, people just want to have,have,have…without placing any value on the items, which keeps creating a higher and higher demand for fast fashion and crazy consumerism. If people began to value things and appreciate what they buy then …the market would respond. If society stopped buying fast fashion crap then there would be no demand for it and it would no longe4 be produced. There are places in the world, other first world nations, where hoarding is not common nor a trend (SKorea, Japan, Russia, etc etc) and people place value on the items they purchase and the homes are very minimalist and those that hoard are looked down upon (i.e. in Japan there are people who have crazy big collections of anime goods, as a specific example…but that is not the overall mindset…minimalism is huge there, which in turn teaches you to truly appreciate each and every item you end up purchasing ☺️). I really don’t think that if items were easier to produce decades ago that hoarding would’ve occurred then too…and the proof is in the 70s like I mentioned earlier in my comment. Those are my two c3nts ☺️✌🏻✌🏻.

​@@krisuler7734 have you heard of the concept of whales in gaming and idol industry? They are the minority of customers that spend a disproportionately huge amount of money on the games/band products. Most makeup buyers don't buy insane hoards of makeup, they buy a reasonable amount of makeup and sometimes keep them for too long compared to recommendations (especially mascaras) because they just want things that work and are convenient to them.

Side note: I wrote that comment before you said “hashtag just sayin” ANd before you mentioned cleopatra .... just sayin you should sell this idea ✨ I think it’s a sign 🔮

My name is Lisa too and I'd LOVE her sweatshirt!!

Exactly, I can give you what I call my junk make up, but now I know it's vintage.😜☺️😂

I should be working on my dissertation, but I agree, she is far more interesting!

Also here procrastinating from studying 🙈 Lisa is just the best

Just include a in your paper lol

Same.

We made them for my team and one for all of our pets too ;) X

Lisa Eldridge would you merch that sweater? It looks lovely!

Yes! So cute!

@@IrishRose I better get printing fast - a few other people have asked too. Its really soft and comfortable X

Such a gorgeous antique!

Where.. did she get it?

@@minieyke Where did she get it?

I mean it's the title of the video....

I've found Opium pipes on Ebay that are made if jade that are as old. So I'm guessing Ebay 🤔

Yes I would love to see the whole collection. Even if it was made into a mini series broken up by era.

@@ffsake1361 honestly i would probably just end up binging the entire thing in one go and still wish there was more 😂

Same😂

😂 😂 😂

😂

Ditto

so funny lol

Yeah, right.😜☺️😂😂😂😂

Sorry , noted for next time ! Xx

Agreed! I was dying to see more of the inside of the items and the actual product. Like the Jackie Kennedy lipstick 😔

Would be lovely to see the colours of makeup that were popular in the different eras as well 🤗

@@juliaregus269 Yes, the Arden Pink. I wanted to get a closer look too.

Pick up Lisa’s book. You will thoroughly enjoy!

Did you ever read the book about the vicious pack-a-razor rivalry between Helena Rubinstein & Estée Lauder?

just like that one time lisa used corn flour as powder 😂

Lipstick as blush is the bomb. I've been really into it lately. :)

Esther Herzog Unfortunately my lipsticks are quite "fatty" so it moves the makeup when the makeup is set and without makeup it gives me pimples I guess it's because the skin can't breathe. My mom still to this day uses just lipstick and eyeliner. She uses the lipstick as a blush as well. Unfortunately I couldn't get her into mascara. She'd really like to but somehow it always ends up in her eye and goes everywhere 😂💕

When was your mom born? What time period did she get into makeup? The history geek inside me is so curious!

@@crawpl31 My mother used regular wheat flour for baking.

Girl yeeesssss then unpauses and continues in awe

Kamerin Winchester Completely... had to rewind a few times as it was so distracting. X

And make it refillable! I'll buy 7, please thank you.

I can see Lisa's lipstick being talked about by someone else in many years to come as an amazing vintage piece!

Yes!!! even if it's just the packaging that you can take off/on. Wouldn't it be great to be able to pass down your LIsa Elridge lipstick holder to your daughter/granddaughter?

yes!!!! and it never gets boring!!!

They are so tiny arent they?! X

Definitely! Almost like it was contraband.

It kind of was 😂😂

I had the Yardley Pot-O-Gloss in Apricot in the 70's, also a pink frost one.

Same!!! Who did design it? Do u know?

I've heard the phrase, "putting on your war paint", used when referring to makeup. It was really interesting to learn its origin - akin to chin up and carry on.

Right? I need the story of how she acquired that piece!

This made me laugh 😂

😸😸😸😹

Child abuse is not funny. 😕

@ElaineRose don’t worry I do not feel abused I love my grandma very much and she loves me 🙂 thank you for your concern

Hahahaha!

LOL I love your comment. LOL Our "Corona wartime lewk" ha ha

Wait, aren't they exposed to radium because they were licking paintbrush tips coated with radium paint used to decoratively paint watches?

@@fonsineknshr Yes. But there are stories saying that they painted their nails for fun on occasion.

@@sisuguillam5109 Oh no :(

@@fonsineknshr the worst bit is that once it became clear that the women were getting sick the company treated them abysmaly. It's something worth remembering every time companies and politicians try to push back against health and safety regulations. Hope you are having a lovely weekend! Stay safe.

@@sisuguillam5109 they even claimed that they got sick due to STDs, tainting their reputation. greedy monsters.

Also in Croatia we call mascara ‘rimel’ 😁

in Afghanistan as well!

CSS and if it were to be done they’d make it cheap with plastic

thisusernameistaken byyomama IKR?! Although there are companies that are putting out beautiful high-quality compacts... I have the zodiac one from Lauder from 2013 and it looks like Carolina Herrera makeup is going the refillable compact route too (and they do cute add-ons for your compact as well!).

Somehow it reminds me of Guerlain's skincare packaging: they too have deep blue, round shape design of their products (some of them).

I really wish a company would step up and do good quality packaging like this because now I want a compact just like this!

Natalie P 💐”Paul and Joe” and “Anne Sui” do beautiful packaging.💐 🌺”Besame cosmetics” also replicate vintage make-up and packaging.🌺

yes!!! i would rather to own one gorgeous blusher or powder and feel like a movie star every morning than having many plastic stuff.

Your English is impeccable.

@@traceythomas5923 thank you very much :)

@Marianne thank you, it's really encouraging :)

your husband is great! :)

@@patriciaavilagarcia4465 yeah, all my luck was spent on meeting him :D

I would proudly display a 1000 page Lisa Eldridge vintage makeup book on my coffee table.

Inglot is polish too. Interesting.

Oh I'd love to see such a video from her. Kabuki theatre and geishas from Japan, noble women from China and now the multi billion dollar market of K-Beauty which is oftentimes way beyond western products in terms of trends and technologies. And that is obviously just a tiny bit of the whole history. It would be so interesting!

I don't really know how legit this video is, but apparently Liziqi is showing how ancient Han Chinese make their makeup items like blush cream, brow pomade and lip tint paper, m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pd9GxmQbJ9U.html

And there is a short documentary about a year 1992 born girl who tried to revive different China dynasties ancient make-up items and make-up looks, m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-cYpXyuOchNo.html

Arabs used a finely milled stone (i think) for khol since before 1500 years ago. Indians as well I think.

Darby Lisa eldridge has a kohl episode where she makes kohl herself after interviewing some historians
