    My understanding of Victorian makeup was as you mentioned: hidden in "hygiene" recipes. Concoctions were often made at home and applied discretely, and sometimes under the guise of being therapeutic. Sort of reminds me of how many people used to be treated for a "deviated septum" and ended up with a new nose! So glad we can be honest these days about doing something because we find it aesthetically pleasing.

    Okay, I've seen people do authentic victorian makeup before on CZcams, but you're the first to show it in candlelight (when it was generally seen) and it makes Such A Difference! Candlelight covers a multitude of sins, especially of color matching.
    Also the eyeshadow really reminds me of the natural pigmentation you get on slightly less pale people (as opposed to us ghosts who have more of a grey purple color). Really flattering! I did once see a recipe for basically undereye circle eyeshadow from an 1870s or 80s source that was lamp soot and spermaceti brushed incredibly lightly under the eye with a finger. I tried it and I gotta say, it actually kinda looks good in a slightly goth way

    It’s so fascinating to me how the writer condemns misogyny “a lady doesn’t need a man to decide this for her.”, while also encouraging it at the same time bc of their own internalized. “Lady like”, “you won’t keep your husband without makeup”, etc.
    That just shows a surface level of how deep misogyny has run throughout world history!

    I'm a writer, focusing on fantasy worlds set around the 1800s to 1930s and I can't express how much I love your channel. I research a lot about each time period and even if it isn't literally put down on the page, being able to allude to these every day things, like how people got ready, makes everything feel more real. I love your channel because reading books and household manuals (you have to love Mrs Beeton) helps but seeing someone go through the steps and explain why certain things were done is so invaluable. And I have used your videos to learn how to work with my hair (I had to cut it short due to being ill and my hair no longer growing well) so now I go to work with gorgeous brushed out finger waves and I feel so much better about myself.

    I have a book you might enjoy. It's by Victoria Finlay and it's titled 'Color.' She talks about carmine and goes to see a cochineal farm, and she talks to one of the farmers about feeling a bit sympathetic and wonders aloud if it's painful. He tells her that it's likely more painful for the cacti as the insects eat them alive. Her book mostly centers around the history and use of color in art, but she does go into make-up several times. She even mentions the lead white powder so loved throughout history and still in use as late as the early 19th century.

    So glad that makeup is (mostly) acceptable nowadays, like I can’t imagine living back then and having to try to hide your makeup like that! I’m a full glam every day kind of girl and have been wearing thick black winged liner since I was 12. I’ve always been told to wear less, but I just don’t feel like myself without a full beat. I can only imagine what it must have been like during these eras! If I could ever time travel, I would want to go back to each different era and see how makeup evolved. And probably tell those men where to stick it and let women do what they want! Loved the video and look forward to seeing what you do next! ❤

    Erin, I love the eye shadow on you! It makes your eyes pop!
    For anyone wanting to try this kind of thing with easily available ingredients:
    -Hickory and black walnut trees are everywhere east of the Mississippi. You can take the leaves and boil them fresh or dry them to extract the tanin. Do not use the nuts or their husks as it will stain your skin for ages.
    -For plant based reds alkanet and madder roots have lovely reds that are fat and water soluble and last. Beet root has also been used to color the face and food, but the color doesn't last on the shelf.
    -For earth based reds, iron oxide has been used for centuries as a cosmetic colorant.
    -Lard or tallow can also be used in place of spermacetti, but coconut oil would probably be more palatable.

      @@ouidarajorn2926 Before you commit to making this check that you aren't sensitive to the walnut or hickory you're using. Some people react to this kind of plant so if you're using fresh, take a leaf and mash it up and rub it on the inside of your forearm and let it dry. If you feel any itching, or you get hives, do not proceed.
      As for shelf life, I'd say 3 weeks in the fridge, or a week un refrigerated. Microbes don't tend to like tanin, so it takes a long time to go off.

      @@saraa3418 Absolutely. I’ve been in, up, eating & around walnut trees, but never tried wearing it. I was planning on purchasing the dried leaves and trying a small patch test. I’m hoping since I can ingest it I would be ok, but one never knows. I’d try fresh, but in MO the leaves are nonexistent on the trees right now. Lol.

    You know you are so fun and entertaining, but the amazing part of this is the research. I find your videos so interesting and important. I am not one who wears make up often, but I like watching people talking about it. Especially since you put the products in a historical context. To learn about rabbits feet, and swan puffs amazing. I never knew what carmine was either. My who life I’ve wondered why rabbit’s feet were “good luck.” Showing that theater box with it in, it finally clicked. The theater being a superstitious place and rouge being needed. I’ve seen a lot of your shorts but just started watching your essays. I just receive so much enjoyment from your videos. I really loved your compact video. My dad used to give my sister and myself compacts. I’d always wonder what the two folds were for. So just wow and thank you. And ❤

I absolutely love that the recipes have been recreated the "authentic" way but we were also provided an alternative! I thought it was super interesting to see the make up applied the modern way, but when Erin said she would later apply it the historic way, I got so excited! I really looked forward to it. Then at the end, when she said that the make up would be worn in yellow candle light and showed us how it would look in a different setting, my jaw dropped. Like... she put SO much thought and effort into everything, I kept getting surprised by all the interesting little additional bits we got (such as the passages). I can't wait for her to make more of these long form videos. They're so refreshing and absolutely amazing! Thank you so much Erin!
