Professional makeup artist Lisa Eldridge takes her job very seriously. With all of the passing fashion trends and makeup phases in our society, she is one of those professional artists who wanted to make sure she knew everything about the earliest styles and foundations of her craft.
While a lot of makeup artists concern themselves with the past 100 years or so, Lisa got out a history book and looked way back into time…5,000 years into the far and distant past.
In just over six minutes she somehow manages to take us through a plethora of styles over the past few millennia, all while giving us an incredibly interesting history lesson about each culture she's literally wearing on her face!
From the pharaohs of ancient Egypt to the flappers of the 1920s, Lisa takes us on an exciting journey through history's most interesting eras. Our favorite part was when she explained how poisonous some of the makeup material was in the Venetian class. Thank goodness they've figured that out over the past 100 years!
While beauty standards have certainly evolved and changed drastically over time, we should all be thankful that these days we can all do whatever we want with our bodies. It took a lot of hard work, fighting, and even blood, but we can do and wear whatever we want!
Please SHARE this interesting video if you're happy you don't have to wear poison on your face anymore!
