This is probably really strange to share, but my great grandmother gifted me a porcelain clown doll when I was about 5 or 6 years old that was white, sparkly silver and baby pink. She sat on a pink star shaped pillow with black little moons and had a definite 20's inspired makeup that looks a lot like you (especially with the eyebrows and eyeliner). That porcelain doll is lost to time and many moves from house to house, but it's a huge part of my childhood and it feels very symbolic of something. Anyway, I grew up calling her my Moon Clown and I loved her magical and ethereal vibe and that's part of what draws me to your videos 🌙
@@erinparsonsmakeup OMGGG! I looked up Pierrot porcelain clown doll and I FOUND HER. I'm literally crying. I could never find it before when I searched. Thank you so much😭🙏🙏🙏😭
My grandma also gifted me a very similar porcelain clown when I was the same age as you! My clown was dressed in hot pink and golden yellow clothing and sat on a wooden plank. The makeup on the clown was indeed very similar to the style of Erin's. I still have the clown, I love it because it reminds me of my grandma but God, does it give me the heebie jeebies😅😭😭
Resident straight regular guy here, and yesterday I had a 30 minute break and watched your video out at work, a few guys passed, and came back to laugh at me a bit, and I said that no, it's like history and art, the stuff she shows, and they ended up watching the whole video with me, and I think they forgot to even end up laughing and they asked me to send the channel at the group chat we have, and you got a few new subs haha. Today one asked me if I'd watched "the one where she puts on that poison stuff?! Man that s-- is insane, can you believe they did all that?". I know as a society we have many problems, but if we accept that part of it, if we can take a second, to appreciate some of the better things. When I was a kid I didn't approach anything like this for fear of being ridiculed. And now I watch, and I can't even understand why I enjoy it so much, but I do, and now with two nieces, and a life of moving forward, it's great that I can like something like this, in a power plant, and not even have to be "brave".
What a fantastic story!! 😁 Erin’s videos are so captivating and wonderful; it’s amazing how all different sorts of people find joy in watching her videos. Cheers!
i love this comment so much. my dad got sucked into rupauls drag race after watching an episode with me. it was so fun seeing my dad get into a show that he’d never admit to liking
That's AWESOME I absolutely LOVE that ❤❤❤ Our world is far too judgment it's so disappointing and sad...

@@aprilgivens6517 there’s something so beautiful and captivating about a man in makeup.

@@erinparsonsmakeup I hope you do!!! I was so excited to see another video so soon from the last one. Your really good at it, just thought they just took you so long to make because how high quality they are especially the historian ones.
My mom doesn’t even wear make up or enjoy the subject but after I showed her the Victorian make up video and your in-depth knowledge of how Egyptians created their make up she was hooked. Tonight after dinner we’re watching your Queen Elizabeth white face make up documentary I really enjoy that you created something that I can sit down and enjoy with my mom and just spend that time with her.
As a vintage fashion lover, I really enjoy about your signature look that it provides so many hints to iconic styles. It's like I immediately understand why you do what. If I had any talent in doing makeup, this is probably what I would look like. Just with tiny 1920s lips.
I love your videos. I used to work the cosmetics counters back in the late 80's and early 90's in Boots and House of Fraser. But my biggest memory was working on the Leichner and Innoxa counter in the day when they had all their black jars of greasy foundation and all the theatrical sticks to name a couple of things. I remember all the colours of the sticks, and the cards (which I still have) which you would use showing you how to change the face for a character, and there would be the stick numbers 5 and 9 being purchased along with white, by theatrical types. I remember Frankenfurter played by Bobby Crush of the Rocky Horror show coming in, and I had put his picture with all his drag make-up on for the character on the counter, and he took a double look, but said nothing, but came to buy more white make up at the time. The thing is I get your passion for historical make-up and wondering how they used to achieve certain looks. I used to open the draws full of the grease paint and you could smell it, and knowing its history and being taught by Richard Blore are happy memories for a young woman. I love your videos Erin, can't wait to see your museum and also the "book" you are going to publish too x
Wow leichner!! Was this not the first commercially produced brand? Before max factor even 😮 I love hearing your stories, Thankyou for sharing! I cannot imagine how many changes you’ve seen in the makeup industry. Please feel free to share more with us all 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup I can share some of the products we sold that I don't even know if they are around anymore, but the gold paint used in Goldfinger (James Bond Movie), we had it in tubes, and I would use it on my eyelids for a true gold eyeshadow. The same was the case for the silver grease paint, used I believe in the Wizard of Oz for the Tin Man, and that too would get used as eyeshadow by me. It was the 80's so of course make-up was very colourful and I remembered we sold these fluorescent lipsticks in bright pink and orange. Leichner had big pots of white grease paint as well as the face powder in red containers, with yellow labels and the stage masks logo. We had the nose putty and spirit gum to help put on moustaches or create a bigger nose - and Richard Blore even worked on creating the look of Fagin in the musical Oliver for example. There is a book of Richard's you may even be able to find, I've seen it on Amazon, but no copies are available. But I remember when we launched the first clear gel mascara - and at the time I couldn't see the point of it so I would suggest to my customers they use it to keep brows in place - and now look what we have. Working in Boots, you would still get the older ladies who did their eye brows like Jean Harlow, and buy Velouty face cream powder, which was never a good colour match, often too peachy or orange for their skin tone, but that would be their foundation, and a plastic hat/scarf type thing, to protect their hair coloured and set, from the rain and buying their toilet water 911. Gosh there are quite a few things I could share about those days, and I was only late teens/early twenties myself, but I so loved my make-up and creating colourful looks, well we were in the era of Boy George and New Romantics. I remember the launch of bronzer (Bronze & Glow) too, and itself seemed like a revolution, especially as the one brand also sold green lipsticks which were in fact colour changing depending on your PH. But the consultant would stand there with a big brush using it to bronze, blush and eye define and even show customers how the product could also be used as a lipstick and nail colour. But things seemed so different then, we tended to have more consultants to sell all the products, before most of them got put onto shelves and self-service. Things seemed to have more fragrance to them then as well, and lipsticks a little more of a waxy texture often, and contouring wasn't a thing, but coloured mascara was, mostly it would be blue, with blue eyeliner - now you see that done more editorially - but back then its what you wore with pale pink lip gloss. Let me know if you want to know anymore, but hope this gives you a feel of the time a little more. Much love to you xxx 🥰😘
After battling a lymphoma that ravaged me, your videos inspired me to get back to the make up counter. My mother always told me to never “ let myself go.” Cancer made that hard but your videos got me to start using more than just my trusty Lancôme foundation and 80s eyeliner. Thank you.❤🙏🏻
@@erinparsonsmakeup I'm a big fan and hope you live forever but I have to know - has a dermatologist checked your beauty mark reccently? Just had to get something similar removed, hence asking. Keep up the amazing face art.
I watched your video on applying eyeliner and it helped me greatly. I’m a 66 year old woman who is suffering with droopy lids and your tips gave me a more youthful wide eyed look.
To be really honest, you are one of my favorite creators right now. You combine two of the things I enjoy the most: history and make-up. The way you were able to differentiate yourself from others is just outstanding. Very unique and interesting content. You take the time to investigate, create the videos, and explain. highli apprecitated. Colombian follower over here . Keep going girl!
i love when you do the eyeliner on the bottom how you leave the middle section open. so it gives the illusion that it's layered underneath your eye ball, if that makes sense. I don't think i've seen eyeliner executed like that. it's such a clean and dynamic effect * chef's kiss *
Just so you know…with AND without makeup, you are a STUNNING woman, Erin 😊 I also love your daily look, as I love the 1920s…plus the lengths of detail you go to just grabs my heart, as I love details and well thought out processes. 🤗
I love your make-up but I'm OBSESSED with your style and look overall. The hairstyles?? Jewelry?? Vintage inspired outfits?? The TATTOOS??? To die for ❤
Erin's counterpart in the land of hairdressing when it comes to PRECISION WORK is undoubtedly Kriss Poison. The accuracy of all the different type of fringes or 'bangs' that she cuts is clearly the most important thing to her when she cuts hair, it's what she's best known for. It's nowhere near as easy as it looks. Kriss's really old blog posts are all gone for some reason but her outfits from 2015 and before are fantastic. I wish she'd re upload her personal outfit 'look books'. Anyway, it's great to find inspiring professionals who have an entirely idiosyncratic sense of aesthetics.
It's a gorgeous look. Also combined with that top you could totally pass as a line drawing. The clean lines of the seams, the eyeliner, the curls... stunning
When visiting the V&A museum in London this summer my teenage daughter spotted some gorgeous 1920/30’s make up compacts. We both looked at each other and said ‘Erin would love these!’ Loving your videos x
I can’t overstate how much I love rephr brushes. I was fortunate enough to be gifted a sizable selection of them from an affiliate of the brand I was working with about 7-ish years ago. I use some of them practically every day and they’re basically still as soft, full, and luxurious as the day I got them. I can’t fathom doing my routine without the 17 and the 04 at this point.
I also always start with perfume on my wrists so I can enjoy the scent while doing my makeup. Even if a perfume isn’t very strong you can still smell it as you naturally have your wrists quite close to your nose while applying makeup or skincare.
You bring me right back to the 80's when I lived for music, make up, fashion and dancing with the girls 😍 thank you ❤ wonderful memories 🥂 you are a joy 🌟
With Wicked coming out, I love to see your take on a good witch and bad witch makeup. Not necessarily green paint etc, I just think you have such a creative eye and training, I wonder what type of everyday or runway look you’d do inspired by the two witches
Can yo do a video about how to best find and craft a look that works for everyone’s unique selves? I’m just so fascinated by how you arrived at this look for yourself 26:32
I haven’t enjoyed watching a makeup tutorial since the 2016 beauty guru days.. I really missed this feeling and finally I found a professional that can inspire my alternative looks❤ I appreciate you
This was so epic Erin! You are such an artist! Very inspiring ❤❤ I’ll definitely be taking some things away from this. And re-watching for all your amazing tricks! Love your passion. Xx
Omg, I could iterally watch and listen to you all day every day. What a joy you are Erin. I still have lots of makeup from my early 90's makeup kit, including a 1990 Lancome brush set, a 1991 Dior eyeshadow compact and a 1993 Chanel lipstick in Lune Russe, the perfect 90's brick red and my signature lip in the 90's with a deep brown lipliner of course (we didn't get MAC in the UK until after the Estee Lauder acquisition). Everything was so matte back then. I remember being taught at media makeup college to put loose powder (usually cornsilk or airspun) over a single ply of tissue to matify the lips. I used that technique for over a decade lol. My inspiration back then was the chameleon like looks of Kylie Minogue, especially in the music video for 'What do I have to do', and of course the supermodels. My personal favourite being Christy. Belinda Carlisle was also one of my beauty icons. Until everyone had MTV in our homes in the early 90's, we, the British, weren't exposed to American culture much at all. Although we did have the Golden Girls in the 80's. I still watch that show. It never fails to make me laugh out loud.
I’m immediately googling that Kylie minogue video 🤩 I’m not sure if you’d ever consider selling but if so please list any makeup on eBay! Even used products have value. I love collecting anything from the 90’s 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup Oh no, sorry Erin. I love them too much. I don't have a big collection nowadays, so the ones I do own are prised possessions and hold so much sentimentality. What did you think of the Kylie video? Isn't the makeup gorgeous?
@@erinparsonsmakeup Btw, many of Kylies 90's music videos were insprirational to most British makeup artists in the 90's. You should check them out. Caroline Barnes, a British makeup artist, has been her makeup artist for decades. She's lovely and she has her own RUclips channel.
@erinparsonsmakeup Absolutely Yes! I want to wear red lipstick but even tho I'm not new to makeup the reds never look right and never wear well at all.
Love this look !! I think with those spaced out bottom spiked lashes from the 60’s, you know the one Shelly duval has on in a famous picture would really look great with this look!
You are such an incredible story teller, orator, content creator. This intersection with your love of makeup is truly profound. Never stop making content
Please please please pleaseeee never stop making RUclips videos. Oml do I get so excited to see when you’ve uploaded. Every video is so great and entertaining but also informative about something. You are so awesome!!!
I am so distracted by what I can see of that gorgeous blouse that almost looks like a pencil drawning!!! Love the ruffle neck too. Thank you for sharing your techniques; you're stunning with or without makeup ❤
I always have such a hard time doing my inner corner eyeliner. it always comes out horrible. This video has taught me a thing or two so thank you for creating another incredible video. Your makeup always looks so beautiful and flawless
Has anyone ever told you how similar your bone structure is to Christy Turlington? Especially when turn your head to a 3/4 angle, the curve of your cheekbones to your jaw, it's striking every time! I love the way you've combined makeup trends from different eras to create your own cohesive look. I sort of do something similar with keeping the eyeliner open at the bottom, but I also don't use mascara in that area. For some reason it suits me so much better. It took my makeup to a whole new level when I realized that just because something's there, doesn't mean I need to coat it with something. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more is more.
I would love for you to do a series on cosmetic brands that you love (maybe dislike) and how you came to like them! Maybe even recreating looks that you’ve done on models! I love when you share makeup history too! Your passion for makeup makes your content so much fun! I also love this makeup tips and tricks because I can then try it to! ❤
I’ve been watching video’s about make-up for over 10 years now and I’ve been doing make-up for a while. It’s hard to find content that tells me something new or inspires me. But you do it every time! You make me excited about makeup and beauty as if I’m learning about it for the first time! Thanks so much for nourishing my passion. You’re so trained and graceful and I admire it so much❤
I love how passionate she is about makeup and beauty.. it’s people like this that keep my love for makeup alive ❤💄I’m glad I’m not alone in loving the process of intricate makeup solely because it is art and expression
I love your videos. I have one vintage make up piece. It’s a little makeup kit with eyeshadow and blush and lipstick. I think it’s from the 60s or 70s maybe it’s just a little oval and it’s navy blue. My grandma gave it to me and I was so excited when I found out there was a bottom to it and a whole Nother layer of make up
You're my favorite beauty youtuber, super unique style but the techniques are adaptable for any kind of makeup really! And since we have similar taste I always get great product suggestions 😌
I love digital world! Thanks to youtube I can watch the master of makeup from oversea, and you can also see our satisfaction to you. Sorry for my bad english 😁❤
I love how you do your lips and layer your products! I also appreciate your blush style. It screams ✨painted✨ lady ❤ it’s like the history of makeup written in your face!
I really like how you embrace paleness and use makeup like an art form! I'm super pale in a country where tans are the beauty norm so I've always been teased and called albino, vampire or that I don't go outside so it refreshing to see it be appreciated
Omg I was too 😮 in high school constantly the term albino which I’m sure would be very outdated to say today. But it did take me years to embrace the pale skin. I hate when people say pasty, no doll, I’m porcelain 😅
@erinparsonsmakeup I graduated in 2017 so sadly still a thing then maybe the younger gen Z and alpha are nicer. I've just embraced the vampire persona and joke about going up in flames. It was a bit sad growing up to not be able to find makeup that matched but I'm so happy how inclusive it is nowadays, before I'd use cream highlighter as concealer 😅
I spent most of my adult life struggling to find a foundation that matches my pearly hue,after giving up sun bathing, and discovering I am allergic to fake tan products.
This would look too extra on most people, but on you it's perfection! Different eras combined with your personal touch work beautifully together. I'll try some of your tricks, especially the powder after the lip liner, which I have never done. Thank you for the masterclass Erin❤
omg the wait was worth it!!! and same about brush wash trauma.....mine sit in the sink for too long cause i'm just too shook and i've never been an MUA in my life, it's just me!
I love how your eyeliner is sharp enough to stab something with! I’m so inexperienced with makeup that I don’t even dare, but this gives me a great example of where to start and what to exactly DO with all these odd brushes I keep seeing
Please collab with Lisa one day! You two are my favorite MUA's and besides that, both of your video's are so fascinating and joyful to watch. I't would be so interesting how you would share your expertise in make up history, your vintage collections and background stories. Make a series together, I would totally pay for it ❤
Same here. No gimmicks, non patronising, 100% real. We arent supermodels but you pair help us be the best of ourselves. And dont take yourselves too seriously.
I've always loved your skinny 20s brow. The 90s and the 20s really do sing together I'm not precise with my eye make up either, it's much easier to clean it up after
I live for Erin’s videos. Makeup tips and history for hobbyists from a qualified experienced industry vet who isn’t trying to pedal us hidden makeup sponsorships and regurgitated tired “hacks” that look terrible. And she cites her inspiration so that we can find others to learn from too❤️
As a 40 year old straight white guy, I never would have thought I'd ever enjoy stuff like this, but this- THIS, is art work, plain and simple.
I appreciate you. Lol
These are always my favorite comments 😅 Thankyou!!
I recommend you watch her past videos she is a absolute well of knowledge and talent.
Oh yay! Erin is so great at her art ❤
Literally HOW is your race relevant here? You people use the word as some indication that being white is somehow exceptional somehow in this context.
Love this! The mix of 90s and 20s is just pure perfection!
Haha I commented that she looks like a Pidgin Doll!
Please make her into a doll Pidgin doll xxx
Just like Gwen Stefani vibes❤
Omg PidginDoll I'm such a fan
Omg!! Once she put the star on her face I literally thought that she looked like a Pidgin doll! Oh the irony 🤪

The thing is I get your passion for historical make-up and wondering how they used to achieve certain looks. I used to open the draws full of the grease paint and you could smell it, and knowing its history and being taught by Richard Blore are happy memories for a young woman.
I love your videos Erin, can't wait to see your museum and also the "book" you are going to publish too x
Wow leichner!! Was this not the first commercially produced brand? Before max factor even 😮 I love hearing your stories, Thankyou for sharing! I cannot imagine how many changes you’ve seen in the makeup industry. Please feel free to share more with us all 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup I can share some of the products we sold that I don't even know if they are around anymore, but the gold paint used in Goldfinger (James Bond Movie), we had it in tubes, and I would use it on my eyelids for a true gold eyeshadow. The same was the case for the silver grease paint, used I believe in the Wizard of Oz for the Tin Man, and that too would get used as eyeshadow by me.
It was the 80's so of course make-up was very colourful and I remembered we sold these fluorescent lipsticks in bright pink and orange. Leichner had big pots of white grease paint as well as the face powder in red containers, with yellow labels and the stage masks logo. We had the nose putty and spirit gum to help put on moustaches or create a bigger nose - and Richard Blore even worked on creating the look of Fagin in the musical Oliver for example. There is a book of Richard's you may even be able to find, I've seen it on Amazon, but no copies are available.
But I remember when we launched the first clear gel mascara - and at the time I couldn't see the point of it so I would suggest to my customers they use it to keep brows in place - and now look what we have.
Working in Boots, you would still get the older ladies who did their eye brows like Jean Harlow, and buy Velouty face cream powder, which was never a good colour match, often too peachy or orange for their skin tone, but that would be their foundation, and a plastic hat/scarf type thing, to protect their hair coloured and set, from the rain and buying their toilet water 911.
Gosh there are quite a few things I could share about those days, and I was only late teens/early twenties myself, but I so loved my make-up and creating colourful looks, well we were in the era of Boy George and New Romantics. I remember the launch of bronzer (Bronze & Glow) too, and itself seemed like a revolution, especially as the one brand also sold green lipsticks which were in fact colour changing depending on your PH. But the consultant would stand there with a big brush using it to bronze, blush and eye define and even show customers how the product could also be used as a lipstick and nail colour.
But things seemed so different then, we tended to have more consultants to sell all the products, before most of them got put onto shelves and self-service. Things seemed to have more fragrance to them then as well, and lipsticks a little more of a waxy texture often, and contouring wasn't a thing, but coloured mascara was, mostly it would be blue, with blue eyeliner - now you see that done more editorially - but back then its what you wore with pale pink lip gloss.
Let me know if you want to know anymore, but hope this gives you a feel of the time a little more. Much love to you xxx
🥰😘
@@SoulevolvePsychicid love to hear more too.
The make up, the hair, the earrings🤩
Legend. Icon. The Moment.
After battling a lymphoma that ravaged me, your videos inspired me to get back to the make up counter. My mother always told me to never “ let myself go.” Cancer made that hard but your videos got me to start using more than just my trusty Lancôme foundation and 80s eyeliner. Thank you.❤🙏🏻
You have the most gorgeous cat-like eye color! Omg
I’ve always thought I just have brown eyes 😅 but I think the eyeliner gives some sort of amber glow to them!
@@erinparsonsmakeupthey’re a golden brown and they’re very pretty
@@erinparsonsmakeup your eyes look like liquid amber with little green flecks, like fairy eyes!
The ☆ beauty mark is so unique n classy. Love your look!!!
Thankyou, I appreciate the kind words! Even if it was a little nod to Clara Bow 😍
@@erinparsonsmakeup I'm a big fan and hope you live forever but I have to know - has a dermatologist checked your beauty mark reccently? Just had to get something similar removed, hence asking. Keep up the amazing face art.
I watched your video on applying eyeliner and it helped me greatly. I’m a 66 year old woman who is suffering with droopy lids and your tips gave me a more youthful wide eyed look.
I am in awe at how skillful you are. This is incredible
I truly appreciate that! Took many years of full beats to get to this point 😅
To be really honest, you are one of my favorite creators right now. You combine two of the things I enjoy the most: history and make-up. The way you were able to differentiate yourself from others is just outstanding. Very unique and interesting content. You take the time to investigate, create the videos, and explain. highli apprecitated. Colombian follower over here . Keep going girl!
i love when you do the eyeliner on the bottom how you leave the middle section open. so it gives the illusion that it's layered underneath your eye ball, if that makes sense. I don't think i've seen eyeliner executed like that. it's such a clean and dynamic effect * chef's kiss *
Thankyou for saying so! I kinda did it on accident because my eyes are so uneven. Then I thought well this kinda tricks the symmetry 😅
@@erinparsonsmakeupi also do it like you! I came to that as well because because my tearduct is too high and the shape is like strange ahahaha.
Just so you know…with AND without makeup, you are a STUNNING woman, Erin 😊
I also love your daily look, as I love the 1920s…plus the lengths of detail you go to just grabs my heart, as I love details and well thought out processes. 🤗
I love your make-up but I'm OBSESSED with your style and look overall. The hairstyles?? Jewelry?? Vintage inspired outfits?? The TATTOOS??? To die for ❤
Yessss I’ve been wanting a video like this! Technique focused professionals>>>>>
I’m so happy to hear this! Thankyou 🤗!!
Erin's counterpart in the land of hairdressing when it comes to PRECISION WORK is undoubtedly Kriss Poison. The accuracy of all the different type of fringes or 'bangs' that she cuts is clearly the most important thing to her when she cuts hair, it's what she's best known for. It's nowhere near as easy as it looks. Kriss's really old blog posts are all gone for some reason but her outfits from 2015 and before are fantastic. I wish she'd re upload her personal outfit 'look books'. Anyway, it's great to find inspiring professionals who have an entirely idiosyncratic sense of aesthetics.
It's a gorgeous look.
Also combined with that top you could totally pass as a line drawing. The clean lines of the seams, the eyeliner, the curls... stunning
Those art deco line drawings are always an inspiration so Thankyou for saying that 🤩
You're such a dream to watch. I adore your passion for all things beauty and fragrance!
I almost edited out the fragrance at the end 😅but truly the look is not complete without a niche scent 🥰
I absolutely love that you are just so unapologetically and authentically you! At 47 years old I’m just now getting there.
I would love a video about your skincare routine, the process of removing makeup and cleansing the skin, products recommendations and all!
I love your look. It's exactly what I want to see from an artist - playful and unique.
UGH,I LOVE YOU!!You're just so entertaining and lovely!! You can feel the love you have for your craft through the screen.
Your words mean so much, truly 😍 appreciate it, thankyou 🤗!
@@erinparsonsmakeup 💕
When visiting the V&A museum in London this summer my teenage daughter spotted some gorgeous 1920/30’s make up compacts. We both looked at each other and said ‘Erin would love these!’
Loving your videos x
I can’t overstate how much I love rephr brushes. I was fortunate enough to be gifted a sizable selection of them from an affiliate of the brand I was working with about 7-ish years ago.
I use some of them practically every day and they’re basically still as soft, full, and luxurious as the day I got them. I can’t fathom doing my routine without the 17 and the 04 at this point.
This video is major. The content, the production, the editing...1000000/10
I also always start with perfume on my wrists so I can enjoy the scent while doing my makeup. Even if a perfume isn’t very strong you can still smell it as you naturally have your wrists quite close to your nose while applying makeup or skincare.
You bring me right back to the 80's when I lived for music, make up, fashion and dancing with the girls 😍 thank you ❤ wonderful memories 🥂 you are a joy 🌟
With Wicked coming out, I love to see your take on a good witch and bad witch makeup. Not necessarily green paint etc, I just think you have such a creative eye and training, I wonder what type of everyday or runway look you’d do inspired by the two witches
Can yo do a video about how to best find and craft a look that works for everyone’s unique selves? I’m just so fascinated by how you arrived at this look for yourself 26:32
I haven’t enjoyed watching a makeup tutorial since the 2016 beauty guru days.. I really missed this feeling and finally I found a professional that can inspire my alternative looks❤ I appreciate you
It would be so cool to see your signature makeup look from high school and through the years to see how much you've evolved
Ooo! That's a great idea!
Your voice is so lovely to listen to. So ASMR.
to get a full makeup video from you is like GOLD! Thank you for inspiring and teaching, you're are the goat of makeup
This is what I call a tutorial! So we’ll delivered! My compliments
You give the best makeup ideas. As a 51 year old woman alot of these ideas gave me ideas for my routine. Ty!!!
This was so epic Erin! You are such an artist! Very inspiring ❤❤ I’ll definitely be taking some things away from this. And re-watching for all your amazing tricks! Love your passion. Xx
Omg, I could iterally watch and listen to you all day every day. What a joy you are Erin. I still have lots of makeup from my early 90's makeup kit, including a 1990 Lancome brush set, a 1991 Dior eyeshadow compact and a 1993 Chanel lipstick in Lune Russe, the perfect 90's brick red and my signature lip in the 90's with a deep brown lipliner of course (we didn't get MAC in the UK until after the Estee Lauder acquisition). Everything was so matte back then. I remember being taught at media makeup college to put loose powder (usually cornsilk or airspun) over a single ply of tissue to matify the lips. I used that technique for over a decade lol.
My inspiration back then was the chameleon like looks of Kylie Minogue, especially in the music video for 'What do I have to do', and of course the supermodels. My personal favourite being Christy. Belinda Carlisle was also one of my beauty icons. Until everyone had MTV in our homes in the early 90's, we, the British, weren't exposed to American culture much at all. Although we did have the Golden Girls in the 80's. I still watch that show. It never fails to make me laugh out loud.
I’m immediately googling that Kylie minogue video 🤩 I’m not sure if you’d ever consider selling but if so please list any makeup on eBay! Even used products have value. I love collecting anything from the 90’s 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup Oh no, sorry Erin. I love them too much. I don't have a big collection nowadays, so the ones I do own are prised possessions and hold so much sentimentality. What did you think of the Kylie video? Isn't the makeup gorgeous?
@@erinparsonsmakeup Btw, many of Kylies 90's music videos were insprirational to most British makeup artists in the 90's. You should check them out. Caroline Barnes, a British makeup artist, has been her makeup artist for decades. She's lovely and she has her own RUclips channel.
I could listen to you talk all day. Your voice is so soothing
Erin, can you do a red lipstick tutorial ❤❤
Maybe I should do a roundup of all the best - different tones and different finishes ❤ maybe even a Marilyn moment (as usual) 😅
@@erinparsonsmakeupoh I would love this! 😍
@erinparsonsmakeup Absolutely Yes! I want to wear red lipstick but even tho I'm not new to makeup the reds never look right and never wear well at all.
Love this look !! I think with those spaced out bottom spiked lashes from the 60’s, you know the one Shelly duval has on in a famous picture would really look great with this look!
You are such an incredible story teller, orator, content creator. This intersection with your love of makeup is truly profound. Never stop making content
this makeup look represents who i aspire to be, you look fabulous (with and without makeup ofc)💖
I love your brown eyes 🤎🤎✨ they’re magic!
Your eye color is so unique and stunning omg
thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge. your eyes are such a beautiful color.
You wiping your brush on your shirt makes you real af. I already loved you and now I do even more lol
I savoured every bit of this video, it’s so relaxing to watch 😌
Please please please pleaseeee never stop making RUclips videos. Oml do I get so excited to see when you’ve uploaded. Every video is so great and entertaining but also informative about something. You are so awesome!!!
I am so distracted by what I can see of that gorgeous blouse that almost looks like a pencil drawning!!! Love the ruffle neck too.
Thank you for sharing your techniques; you're stunning with or without makeup ❤
I always have such a hard time doing my inner corner eyeliner. it always comes out horrible. This video has taught me a thing or two so thank you for creating another incredible video. Your makeup always looks so beautiful and flawless
Has anyone ever told you how similar your bone structure is to Christy Turlington? Especially when turn your head to a 3/4 angle, the curve of your cheekbones to your jaw, it's striking every time!
I love the way you've combined makeup trends from different eras to create your own cohesive look. I sort of do something similar with keeping the eyeliner open at the bottom, but I also don't use mascara in that area. For some reason it suits me so much better. It took my makeup to a whole new level when I realized that just because something's there, doesn't mean I need to coat it with something. Sometimes less is more and sometimes more is more.
I actually learnt new techniques! Such a great video. Thank you.
I would love for you to do a series on cosmetic brands that you love (maybe dislike) and how you came to like them! Maybe even recreating looks that you’ve done on models! I love when you share makeup history too! Your passion for makeup makes your content so much fun! I also love this makeup tips and tricks because I can then try it to! ❤
I’ve been watching video’s about make-up for over 10 years now and I’ve been doing make-up for a while. It’s hard to find content that tells me something new or inspires me. But you do it every time! You make me excited about makeup and beauty as if I’m learning about it for the first time! Thanks so much for nourishing my passion. You’re so trained and graceful and I admire it so much❤
Ty so much for sharing this was really cool! Beautiful lady!❤😊
I love how passionate she is about makeup and beauty.. it’s people like this that keep my love for makeup alive ❤💄I’m glad I’m not alone in loving the process of intricate makeup solely because it is art and expression
I love your videos. I have one vintage make up piece. It’s a little makeup kit with eyeshadow and blush and lipstick. I think it’s from the 60s or 70s maybe it’s just a little oval and it’s navy blue. My grandma gave it to me and I was so excited when I found out there was a bottom to it and a whole Nother layer of make up
You're my favorite beauty youtuber, super unique style but the techniques are adaptable for any kind of makeup really! And since we have similar taste I always get great product suggestions 😌
I so appreciate that! I figured it may not be for everyone but the precision is there 😝 I mean you get it Ofcourse 🤗
We need your skin prep routine 👀
I’m always very shy to share this because I mostly use biologique Recherche and it’s crazy expensive 😢
@@erinparsonsmakeupPlease share...is the p50 toner worth it?
Her eye color is gorgeous omgggg the oranges in her eye with the golds and brown wow
I love digital world! Thanks to youtube I can watch the master of makeup from oversea, and you can also see our satisfaction to you. Sorry for my bad english 😁❤
Awww you are so sweet! Thankyou for such kind words! 🤗
The colours of your eyes are truly gorgeous. Like amber
Adore all of your content, you are by far one of my most favorite creators!!
amazing!! Erin, would you consider making a video about your tattoos?
You are MAGIC, girl! ❤
I love how you do your lips and layer your products! I also appreciate your blush style. It screams ✨painted✨ lady ❤ it’s like the history of makeup written in your face!
So excited for this video. You always looks stunning ❤
You are truly too kind, the makeup really does make a big difference 😅 it’s me, Jessica, coming soon ❤
I just love you, Erin. You’re so authentically you, and it so refreshing and inspiring. Never stop! 🥰💖
I really like how you embrace paleness and use makeup like an art form! I'm super pale in a country where tans are the beauty norm so I've always been teased and called albino, vampire or that I don't go outside so it refreshing to see it be appreciated
Omg I was too 😮 in high school constantly the term albino which I’m sure would be very outdated to say today. But it did take me years to embrace the pale skin. I hate when people say pasty, no doll, I’m porcelain 😅
@erinparsonsmakeup I graduated in 2017 so sadly still a thing then maybe the younger gen Z and alpha are nicer. I've just embraced the vampire persona and joke about going up in flames. It was a bit sad growing up to not be able to find makeup that matched but I'm so happy how inclusive it is nowadays, before I'd use cream highlighter as concealer 😅
@@erinparsonsmakeupamen! Alabaster doll. I love that attitude.
I spent most of my adult life struggling to find a foundation that matches my pearly hue,after giving up sun bathing, and discovering I am allergic to fake tan products.
@pheart2381 I found that fenty has some great pale shades (even lighter than my own skin) but I only use concealer
You are so awesome! I used to powder my lips and reapply back in the 90s and I am going to give it a go again!
You know I'm gonna like and comment even before watching 😂❤🎉
Thankyou for that!! 🤗!
I’ve diverted my attention from paperwork to Erin immediately!
@@Jennifer-w6g😂
I would love a jewelry collection video, especially the earrings!
You’re so pretty! I’m a big fan! ❤ I love your voice too ❤❤
This would look too extra on most people, but on you it's perfection! Different eras combined with your personal touch work beautifully together. I'll try some of your tricks, especially the powder after the lip liner, which I have never done. Thank you for the masterclass Erin❤
Erin has the best voice ever. It’s so comforting to listen to
omg the wait was worth it!!! and same about brush wash trauma.....mine sit in the sink for too long cause i'm just too shook and i've never been an MUA in my life, it's just me!
😂 I’m currently on vacation and brought 8 brushes in total 😅 just in case grabbed a few extras but my Rephr set sees me through every time
Just devastatingly beautiful, she makes me want to try getting into makeup again sssiiiigghhh...💕
I really love your channel, Erin! ❤ Vintage makeup ICON🙌🏼
Thankyou sooo so much! 🫶🤗🤗
i love how precise she is with her look
I literally said “YES I love herrr” this is so good
And here I was worried it would be boring 😅 not my usual history and toxic makeup deep dive 😂
Just LOVE this era of makeup!!! STUNNING
As a 59 year old, who has seen it all (makeup wise), i always learn something new from your videos! Fabulous technique, Erin
I love how your eyeliner is sharp enough to stab something with! I’m so inexperienced with makeup that I don’t even dare, but this gives me a great example of where to start and what to exactly DO with all these odd brushes I keep seeing
babe wake up! Erin has posted another stunning tutorial ❤🤩
Two in one month wooo! 😅
Love you! A skilled, passionate, artist, love the videos and I always learn a new technique ❤
Please collab with Lisa one day! You two are my favorite MUA's and besides that, both of your video's are so fascinating and joyful to watch. I't would be so interesting how you would share your expertise in make up history, your vintage collections and background stories. Make a series together, I would totally pay for it ❤
Same here. No gimmicks, non patronising, 100% real. We arent supermodels but you pair help us be the best of ourselves. And dont take yourselves too seriously.
gorgeous 😻we need more videos)
I've always loved your skinny 20s brow. The 90s and the 20s really do sing together
I'm not precise with my eye make up either, it's much easier to clean it up after
My two favorite eras in makeup 😍
I can’t get over your eye color - so stunning 😩
I live for Erin’s videos. Makeup tips and history for hobbyists from a qualified experienced industry vet who isn’t trying to pedal us hidden makeup sponsorships and regurgitated tired “hacks” that look terrible. And she cites her inspiration so that we can find others to learn from too❤️
shes litterally the coolest person ever and everything i aspire to be
🪬 !! erin thee beauty queen
