Beauty Secrets from Glamour Icons of the Past 

Yes I think I’ll leave that one in the past 😂 yikes!

We used safety pins in the 80s ! We were highly committed to getting those natural looking feathery lashes . I used the little ones then would bend it, never had one accident! The brushes and combs just didn't compare unfortunately. Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone use safety pins to separate their lashes 😎 Also, why they call them " safety pins "is beyond me! 😅

@@krissykriss328 In Spanish we call them "imperdibles" that translates as something like "unloseables". Sorry, I couldn't find if the word even existed in English. I found "unmissable" but I'm not sure if you can use it for an object that can't be lost.

Lord have mercy 😭 I have definitely had one patient in the ER from this and was very confused and now I finally know why. Thankfully she just got it stuck in the eyelid, not great but she didn’t mess up her cornea so not as gnarly 😖 I had always thought she had been in some terrible sewing incident 😅

She is breathing life ❤️❤️

Singlehandedly❕

She’s the best beauty RU-vidr! I love her ❤

The “beauty community” is a joke

Yes !

Yes!!!!! ❤❤❤

Depending on what you want to learn i suggest to check out Smitha Depak and Alexandra Arnele

@@mrpurple11 I will check them out!

Amen !!!!

I have definitely learned a lot.

I was getting so tired of it too! Erin single-handedly revived my love for watching makeup videos. Well only hers at least 😂 They’re just so informative and fun!

This is so interesting, good to know. I'm gonna give it a whirl!

I used to do this when I was younger but with lotion! I’d do my whole face with my foundation/powder & at the very end I’d take the tiniest dab, rub it on my hands & lightly press them into my skin to give it an almost dewy finish 🤲🏼 ❤

@@LLGC510 i just straight mix the lotion with a dab or two of foundation - boom, cc cream

​​@@yeeaahhzzeen mixing my foundation with lotion for years! I have desert dry skin so that's why I originally started doing it. I mostly use bb or cc cream now but lotion n foundation mix is a great trick.goota be careful what kinda lotion u mix with tho..my go to moisturizer is the Clinique dramatically different been using that for over 10yrs😊

​@@LeeLeeCRNyesss that Clinique one works so well with foundations! I've even been able to take a super high coverage, matte foundation and turn it into a natural finish.

Laura, Like you, I'm not really a makeup person, but I'm hooked on everything Erin produces! She is incredibly knowledgeable and the content she provides is so compelling. Add to that her genuine and open personality and it feels like your best friend just dropped in to teach you the latest beauty tip or whisper some delicious Hollywood gossip in your ear! I try not to miss a single video - they just make me feel good! ☺️

Je suis tout à fait d'accord avec vous!

Women like Mae West remind me that I can do anything! What a powerhouse!!

I still cry everytime I watch gone with the wind 😁

@Erin Parsons Makeup oh gosh yesssss. I watch every year around Christmas. It's my thing lol I'm so glad there are folks like me out there! And don't get me started on Casablanca lol

As long as you’re interested in beauty from the past I’ll have forever content 😁🥰

@@erinparsonsmakeup Excited to see what you have in store for us!!!

I find her so calming too! I watch these when I’m doing my make up and hair for some relaxing me time

​​@@ibanez856 Isn't it just like your BF dropped by to show you the latest beauty secrets when you watch one of Erin's videos? She makes you feel like she's sitting right next to you guiding your hand until you get the technique just right and the color matches your skin tone, or the eyeliner is drawn fully, or the curlers are removed and your hair is perfectly coiffed. And, the whole time she's sitting there with you, she has a pile of Hollywood gossip magazines that she's paging through and keeping up a steady stream of conversation about the stars' beauty routines and their supposed best kept secrets. Erin's depth of knowledge about the history and origins of makeup is truly incredible, but it's her warm and genuine nature that makes Erin such a stand out SUPER STAR from among all the glamorous stars she shares information about!! 🌟✨💫 It is truly a gift to be able to talk to hundreds, but make it seem as though you are having a one -to-one conversation. Erin is so very gifted and captivating! Bravo and encore, encore!!! 💅💋💕🧡

I follow a few influencers, not many, tho. I love Erin, Bailey, and Jamie French the most, tho. Jamie just does movie reviews and comedy now. I really love old Hollywood. I love these videos very much. ❤❤❤

Same.

I was thinking to play with a style icons idea - I think mine may be quite different to a lot of others 😅

@@erinparsonsmakeup Different sounds great to me! 😊

Your earrings are everything!

That gets my vote too. Jayne Mansfield please!

@@librarianlovesrick yes!!!! Such a shame they tore it down! Should be a Hollywood monument!

I’d definitely love to try that! I actually have a couple of her wigs 😍

I agree!

didn’t she buy some Egyptian comb or instrument of sorts which should rightfully be in Egypt and was stolen?

@@whyhihigh she returned that. So plz don’t spread hate here. Also she was very respectful, the way she never sampled any of Marilyn’s original lipstick should demonstrate that, and you should know better !

@@whyhihigh not sure but even if she did she could've bought it from someone in egypt? Idk honestly

Everyone is problematic. Don’t set unrealistic standards for people that they can’t live up to

I mean you still can. What’s really stopping you?

@Under Construction Time, putting the money into the supplies, and living in a modern world. 🤷‍♀️ The list could go on why faster hairstyles have to be done for me, personally. That's why we don't tell strangers what they can and can't do. Because we don't know them. Lol I'm not a Hollywood starlet either. So I don't have anyone doing it for me.

The diversity has always been out there. The very first beauty book I read as a 14yr old was The Leslie Uggams Beauty Book. It was for everyone and had gorgrous photos of her.

I actually don’t find it matte. 😊 but not radiant either - I have the old pan sticks and the texture seemed very similar to me. But maybe I’ll do a video using an actual Panstik from that time. Hopefully it won’t affect my skin eek! But I’m curious to see the difference. Also I’ve seen pics of Marilyn at her makeup table with the Panstik product so I do believe she would have used it exactly. I even have a quote from whitey on which color 🤩

@@erinparsonsmakeup I’ve noticed that mehron creme sticks are a little more oily than kryolan. I wonder how that would work 🤔

Oh lord she breaking out the pan sticks 😂
