You should start your own documentary series... I would DEFINITELY watch that religiously
Me too!
yes!
yeees!
YASSSS 🙌
+KitschSnitch me too!
The David Attenborough of makeup.
Brilliant!
+Anna Nguyen So accurate!! :D
+Anna Nguyen Spot on, girlie!
Hi,I am from India and yes an Indian.Kohl here is called Kajal in Hindi. And where you have mentioned in your video, the kohl pencil is rubbed from inner corner to outter corner of the eye, keeping it closed while application, that is called soorma. On application of soorma, the eyes tend to get watery, but that's fine, it purifies the eyes and gives the eyes a full and beautiful look. We Indians love using kajal and a makeup look without kaajal is incomplete. Love all your videos and watch them all. Cheers
So kajal and khol is the same?
This was a fantastic video Lisa! Being from India, where kohl is a part of a girl's everyday makeup, it's incredible to see how it was made and applied in the prehistoric times. Here, traditionally, kohl is also made by smearing ghee on the back of a banana leaf, and placing that on top of an oil lamp for the ghee to burn, and the soot is used as kohl.
+Debasree Banerjee slight correction, ancient egypt isn't prehistoric. prehistoric would be, quite literally, "before history". so, like, humans living in caves, etc.
Wow, I DID NOT expect such an amazing, interesting, and educational tutorial when I clicked on this video! I've always been enthralled with the use of kohl in ancient times, so this video was a dream come true.
+Ciara Pershall So happy you loved it so much. It was fun to make! X
+Ciara Pershall see why I always say we should PAY for this? * _ *
+Lisa Eldridge Indeed incredible! I am Aramean (Middle East) and my grandmother - to this day - uses thin bendable candles made by monks and nuns to create an eye kohl that have"healing effects" for your eyes. She just lights the candle under a lid of a pan (e.g.) and uses soot as eye kohl :)
+Lisa Eldridge I love the fitzwilliam museum I spend hours there when I lived in Cambridge. Don't live in the country anymore but this is a great and interesting video and also so touchy... :) thank you!
+Ciara Pershall couldn't say it myself better! Just an amazing video, the best one I've seen so far on YT.
Damn Lisa taking makeup videos to the next level. It's like a TED talk and makeup tutorial wrapped in one.
Who here would watch a full length documentary on the history of makeup presented by Lisa? I sure would!! This video was fascinating.
You basically applied your makeup with a blunt stick and it still looked better than when I give it my all with 19 brushes.
I know this comment is old but it made my day 😂😂😂
I am Egyptian and i am so proud of this video Lisa ! Pharaohs were so talented and clever , thank you Lisa again for this amazing videro
ahlannn
Leonard F i love Brazil too you're one of the coolest countries ever
+Leonard F +Leonard F thank you love ❤️❤️ wishing you all the best ليونارد ليونارد is your name in arabic xoxox
Love from Syria 🇸🇾🇪🇬❤️
Lisa, I wish you do this kind of videos more... I love it... a truly makeup guru.
video*
I feel like out of a lot of people that do beauty videos here on CZcams, she's one of the rare ones that actually deserve the name beauty guru
+Annie Stoaks high five :)
This was amazing, your best video to date. PLEASE if you can in the future, explore the history, science and chemistry of makeup for us so that we can be educated about cosmetics in a deeper way. I appreciate your hard work and dedication so much, this is EXACTLY the kind of content I've always wanted to see on youtube!!!
ditto!👍
Have you read her book? It seems like something you'd be very interested in based on this comment!
Kaitlyn Mullin
No, I don't have it. I wish I could get it but right now I just can't afford it. xD Hopefully in the future I can.
Yes yes yesssssss!!!!!
+Kaitlyn Mullin I want to purchase Lisa's book
Can you please tell me how can I buy it if u have any idea regarding it?
I live in india
I love how lisa gets beyond tutorials, explaining the history of make up, as a part of a cultural element ❤️ it's just amazing
Loved this style of video! Brilliant!! xx
IKR!!
As an archaeology graduate student, this is right up my alley! I hope there will be more of these history lessons/tutorials in the future!
I love how Lisa is not only love make up and history, but she also combines both of it. If she ever make a documentary about history of makeup, I think everyone here would love to watch it.
Beautiful video as always. By the way, Kohl is an Arabic word. Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The best of your kohl is ithmid (antimony), for it makes the vision clear and makes the hair grow.”
Greetings!
I can literally go down the comment section and press like to everyone's comments. Just amazing.
This is the coolest video on CZcams. Lisa, you are forever changing the game!
This is what sets Lisa apart from every other beauty "guru" out here on youtube. Lisa is incredibly unique. And instead of watching the same old things over and over, she keeps it new and fresh but yet gives us history too. Truly in love with every video she has ever put out. But this video in particular is something I just think is genius. I could go on and on about my love for this video and for Lisa's channel but I shall stop here.
History + science + sociology + makeup = A hundred more reasons to love Lisa.
I love how you educate us on all things makeup! I read the Facepaint Book every night before bed!
Lisa Eldridge: using ancient makeup products and techniques and still looking beautiful as always.
+Andy T So true! She is such a class act.
Stunningly interesting. Kohl was the first makeup I wore, I was so used to applying it being a classical Indian dancer as a child. It will always make me feel special and mysterious. Lisa, thank you xx
I cannot tell how much I truly love your videos Lisa. I admire you beyond words. You mix my love of history with my passion for makeup. I hope in future you continue to make videos like this one. Such an extra special treat to watch. 🎭
+Johana Child Thank you, i loved making this and bringing the history to life in a relevant, modern way. Would love to do more x
+Johana Child YES..could not agree more :-)
+Lisa Eldridge hope you can do a series about the modern make-up history from 20s - 60s probably!
You need to have a series on the BBC! Can't get enough, this film was so well made
A bit of history & makeup in a video! Bravo Lisa! You continue to produce quality content!
Absolutely amazing insight into the khol story. I am indian and love wearing khol. I find the Indian ones (similar in shape to the maybelline khol) to be more waxy in texture which makes sense with the hot climate. I have a powder khol too which is called 'Surma' (pronounced SoR-Maah) which comes in a intricate steel pot with a delicate steel thread rod. The trick is to put the rod in between both inner rims of the lashes and press your eyes shut tight, then drag the rod through slowly. It's like tightlining but you do both water lines in one go.
Beautiful!! History, chemistry and beauty all connected ❤️
+sunshine yes everything connects, love that X
The level you dig in to with makeup, I honestly think this has a higher educational value for true makeup lovers.
OMG I love this. Lisa needs a tv deal, she's a natural! xxx
Lisa, you are just on another level. I like that your passion for makeup clearly transcends modern day aesthetics and reaches to the history of when we started painting our faces. Fascinating! Please do continue with more 'documentaries'!
I'm egyptian and I must thank you for such a rich video! I know that Ancient Egyptians were crazy about black kohl, but I gained a lot of new information today thanks you you.
Your eyes are mesmerising with the kohl eye liner on. fantastic video, Lisa!
Love how you combine makeup with history! 2 of my most favourite things!
Fascinating video! I'm not one to argue with the professionals, but I was wondering if perhaps the two cartridges in the kohl case would be used to contain the dry mixture in one side and the caster oil in the other? Using the stick to dip in either side before applying; as opposed to containing different colours of the kohl? Would that make application easier? Really interesting stuff!
Your makeup history videos just make me so happy! I could marathon these, I swear!
I think you should start a TLC show where you go around the world to investigate Makeup Traditions around the world.
You should have a word with the BBC. If you made a documentary series about the things you researched for your book I'd definitely watch it.
honestly I appreciate your historical videos more than any other films you put out. your love and respect for makeup just glows, and I feel like I've genuinely become a better artist myself just from the way you frame makeup history.
I am so grateful that you've made this video and written your book! I'm an Archaeology undergraduate in my third year, currently writing my dissertation. I'm writing it on Ancient Egyptian cosmetic artefacts and how from the designs and motifs on the artefacts you can perceive a sense of identity, particularly focusing on the transgenderal use of cosmetics in the society. The literature on the subject is very dry, with almost no modern input. However, I feel so blessed that your book and videos have coincided perfectly with my dissertation, as they've been very resourceful (and inspirational!) for my subject. I just want to say thank you! I've been a long time subscriber and I really appreciate your content. x
I honestly adore these mini history lessons you give us! I have always loved Ancient Greek and Egyptian history especially, this was such a treat to watch. Thank you x
My Ancient Egypt nerd has been awaken. Thank you, Lisa!
Wow Lisa this was brilliant. Such an incredible video. I learned some of this in makeup school but this was so much more informative and visual for me. Your channel is truly the best makeup school anyone can ask for. Thanks for yet another amazing video. 🙌❤️
Lisa you just bring a whole new calibre of CZcams video. This could easily be a TV show. I just so appreciate the effort and class you bring, you're just amazing. History, makeup, science and style
I was so excited to discover this video was going to be extremely educational! I LOOOOOOVE learning about makeup history and seeing you actually seeing real kohl from thousands of years ago and making a replica of it in a museum is giving me chills!
Can I just say that the hairs on my back stood a bit when the curator said you were holding something that was three thousand years old? How awesome is that! Super interesting video, I learned tons. I can't imagine how the Egyptians applied kohl with such a big applicator.
Lisa's demonstration of her kohl liner at the end was just as captivating as the story behind it! Inspiring!
Why have 142 people disliked this amazing video, for which so much time and effort has been invested? Amazing work Lisa!
the history nerd in me is crying with joy at this. thank you so much, lisa, for the time and effort you've put in to this video. you are truly inspirational ❤
I've seen people have loads of fun with makeup but I have never seen anyone enjoy it to this extent. This was so fun to watch! Thank you, Lisa for sharing your passion!
Talk about an "eye-opening" video! Brilliant as always, Lisa. You outdo yourself with every new video. They're all great, don't get me wrong, but this one is exceptional because it includes history and beauty in one! This is why you're only makeup artist I follow on CZcams. I don't even know why the other so-called "Beauty Gurus" bother, you're the absolute BEST!
This was a fantastic video! Thank you for using your resources and connections to bring different and interesting videos to us.
+laziexleelo youre welcome Im really happy you like it X
+Lisa Eldridge dommage de pas repondre: (
I'm Egyptian. and you're so welcome to Egypt anytime. by the way Kohl in Arabic is spelled "Kohleh" and written "كحلة". I really appreciate what you've done. you're beautiful inside and out. and whoever is following Lisa, is welcome too! cheers! :)
OMG!!! this is the best video about make up history I've ever seen!!!!!
Love that you're so respectful and stay as authentic to kohl's historical/cultural significance as possible! Many people buy into "exotic" beauty trends and products without thinking about what it means to the people they're taking it from... so amazing to see a professional using their platform to educate!
I love the fact that you care so much about historical accuracy, and that you truly respect the traditions of the people you learn about!
This was fascinating. I do hope you are able to make more videos in this style in the future. Great job lisa!
WOAW !!! Probably the best content for a beauty/makeup video!!! Lisa this video is amazing, I work in a cosmetic lab and I was so facinated by these rocks and all the process you've been doing. Thank you so much. REALY HOPE YOU'LL DO MORE EDUCATIONAL VIDEO OF THIS KIND !!
I can really see the joy you feel in connecting cosmetics to history. This is why you need to open your own museum!
My jaw is on the floor Lisa! You and Egyptology in one video! You are what all makeup artists should aspire to be. Your career, videos and book prove that beauty is not just a frivolous whim. Please do more videos like this!
How lucky are we, that you made this video for us?! What a relief from all the CZcams makeup videos that seem to want us all to 'slay, bitches'... Thank you!
This was a very informative piece. I was surprised by the level of access you had to the artifacts at Fitzwilliam museum in Cambridge and that they made you copy of the Egyptian Kohl container! Wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
All you other beauty "gurus" can stop now!!!!! This is the true definition of makeup and education. Thank you Lisa
Hi Lisa, It was wonderful watching this video. In India we make fresh Kohl everyday for our babies. We light the silver lamp of clarified butter (Ghee) and catch its flame on a silver bowl. After cooling it down a bit we mix small amount of ghee into it and apply the same kohl with our ring finger to the babies as well as mother. It is said that it protects the eyes from infections and it cools down the eyes too.
This was definitely the most unique makeup tutorial I have ever seen. I love that you educate your viewers on the history and chemistry of makeup rather than just showing products. I am sick and barely wearing any makeup right now, but after watching this I really want to go put a lot of kohl pencil on my eyes. LOL
Hahaha Lisa is so adorable when she cheated the eyeliner 😍
+christianefbowiefan I know, the square end of the stick was so thick I couldnt get used to it. Need to practice more with that one I think! X
I discovered your You Tube videos recently and have binge watched almost all of them. Lisa, you are my make up guru. I have learned more from you and every day as I apply my face I tell myself...KISS - keep it simple silly. Now my husband, an archivist and historian, watched this film with me and he thinks you are terrific too! Never thought he would find make up of any value, but he was impressed with your subject and moreover your absolutely charmingly well articulated delivery!
I love how you always research these facts and share them with us. I think it shows how dedicated you are. Unlike other youtubers (I'm talking about makeup channel) you actually add something special to your videos. For me you always stand out from the others.
WOW you totally destroyed all other makeup gurus with this amazing tutorial..love you lisa
A museum trip. This video was made for me!
Fascinating! How wonderful to have a replica of ancient (probably the original) makeup pots.
What I love most about your videos is that I can see how much you love doing this. And that makes me feel happy and inspired, somehow.
This was so interesting, I really enjoyed the trip to the museum! The kohl is such a striking and glamorous look :-)
I had no idea what a cool video this was gonna be when I clicked on it. Love the history part. I would love to see more like this.
I love how respectful she is!
Lisa you are a true asset to makeup industry !! The day I find you on CZcams I hardly watched any other makeup gurus videos. I am religiously following you .
Wow .... so interesting. Wasn't expecting this... Great job !
Such an interesting video! You've really made make-up tutorials into an educational art from! I have to admit I chuckled a bit at you cheating!

Unlike other Beauty CZcams channels, I was attracted to the calmness I get the first time I see your video. They are the kind of videos I enjoy watching so much for both education and relaxation. And when I'm mean education here, I do mean REAL education. You and Wayne Goss, oh my god, the best of the bests. The way your makeup is elegant and sometimes dramatic in a settle way really speaks on behalf for you, that you are truly a professional and most of all, an artist. I souly appreciate the existence of your channel, Lisa.
Lisa is amazing because she actually informs us about the history, culture and revelations of makeup. She is so intelligent and reverent. I will forever watch your videos and respect you as a makeup artist. Thank you for taking your time and doing this for us. And for always, staying true and not fitting the mold.
I admire your passion for the history of makeup. You're truly inspiring , and motivate me to never stop learning about the wonders of makeup!
History and makeup!! I can't believe it, beautiful video!!
This was such a treat to watch. Makeup and history in one video? Yesssss.
This is exactly the sort of video that I crave. It is historically accurate. Well researched. Fantastic setting. Super engageable topic. It appeals not only to my love of makeup but also my love of history. It is intelligent and fun. Please consider doing more of these videos. You are one of my favorite persons on CZcams. And this is exactly why I keep coming back.
Such a fantastic video, very informative and soo enjoyable to watch. Loved this! Thank you so much for sharing, Lisa.
Wow, Lisa. I got quite emotional at the end of this. Next time I use my kohl I'll be thinking about the thread that links us women (and men) throughout history. Your videos are always a treat but this was spectacular .x.
Oh my gosh ... PLEASE more like this!!! This would be an amazing series!!!
I'm speechless. Lisa, you're amazing. You deserve your own tv/netfilx show on the history of makeup to coincide with your book. I love you girl!
As a make up lover and future Egyptologist this is fascinating!
Lisa does it again!
+Estée Lalonde pay attention, you could learn a thing or two from her.
I'm so much more appreciative of my modern products after watching this. Thank you so much for the tremendous effort you and the museum staff put into this video. Blessings!!!
Absolutely Fascinating! Love this little accompaniment to your book as well. Brilliant!
Videos like these are a real delight to watch. Thank you so much for bringing your expertise and knowledge into youtube. You're a breath of fresh air in the community! Hoping to see more informative videos like this in the future, it'd be highly appreciated!
I LOVE when you do videos like this! I love learning about makeup and history. It's fascinating. I would love to see more videos like this! No one else does videos quite like you. So, thanks SO much! :)
I would love to see a full documentary from you of this style, documenting the history of makeup. It's so fascinating.
I love history and I love makeup. When you put the two together I can't get enough of
Fantastic video! Definitely think you should be making more makeup related documentaries. X
love these historical educational videos...fascinating stuff!
You are seriously the most worthwhile makeup person I've ever seen on youtube. I sort of feel like you could do a makeup documentary and I'd watch the heck out of it.
This is the highest quality content about make up on CZcams. Thank you Lisa for taking your passion to the next level and educating people. ✨
