"Don't go to the other extreme; nails like claws..." *honey I've got news for you*
Right? Mary would have a heart attack if she saw the makeup and nails of today.
Oh, Applesauce trueee
VegasGirl35 and clothes unfortunately
Acrylic nails are still ratchet to this date 😩😂
Asia K um please stop
" The worst of these habits is the nail biter, if you can't break yourself of this habit then NEVER wear nail polish. The bright colour with attract attention to your SHORT, UGLY NAILS" Jeez Mary!
Cloat Meal shes right though 😭😂
Cloat Meal It's the truth 😂
I just recently stopped biting my nails, they look so much better! My cuticles aren't ripped and messy anymore, and now it's easier to paint them. All I have to do is occasionally file them with a crystal file so they look clean. Idk why but one day I just stopped biting and ripping them. I just stopped..

I love how honesty they were lol
Their accents are interesting. It's like American mixed with British.
It is called the mid-Atlantic or transatlantic accent. It's wasn't native to any part of America (though you are correct in hearing both American and British, it was a sort of mix) but rather was taught to upper class and theatre people. Basically it was a quick way to distinguish an upper class person who went to a prep school from everyone else. 😊
They used to teach it in schools so everyone could understand each other. It was good for careers. But it died out quickly during the war.
Michelle I Yeah, Katherine Hepburn is a perfect example of that. At first, I thought she was British, but found out she was from Connecticut (I think). She had a speech coach who trained her to speak that way. They focused a lot on proper diction.
Transatlantic/mid-Atlantic accent. Popular Hollywood dialect from the 30s to 50s.
pcFOREVER89100 television, back in the day, was really all about those accents
Mary Stuyvesant, the original beauty guru.
lelechim haha truth!! I actually prefer her than the ones today!
Julia Jackson I couldn't agree more!
All this advice is pretty much timeless
It's really not. Astringent is drying and bad for your skin. Adding friction and rubbing it with towel roughly is also bad for your skin. I think the advices about behaviour and how to appear graceful are good, but the ones about skincare is horrid.
Anastasia Ye you do realize that there are gentle astringents such as witch hazel and rose water right?
+Anastasia Ye yeah its true, the skincare ones are bad. however i think that's why we have to be really grateful, the research on skincare and the products they offer has really grown in the last decades. i didnt think most active ingredients that we have now for acne exists in the 1940s. let alone all the different things we have now for hyperpigmentation, anti aging, exfoliation, etc.
Maleficent there should definitely be a balance between personality and appearance. But I don't think we have enough focus on either. People are busy saying 'just be yourself', often as an excuse to not make an effort. And people think beauty is a formula that have to be achieved, a certain look. Really, we should focus on making the most of ourselves, both our personality/skills, and our appearance (meaning good grooming, and making the most of what we have, and carrying ourselves well).
I think a lot of people are insecure, because they are taught to live up to a certain standard, without knowing how/thinking that they never can. This makes them feel very insecure and unattractive, and as a result, they obsess even more about it. They are also told to look perfect, but they can't look like they tried too hard. This also makes them much more insecure in their social interactions, which can cause people to behave negatively.
Mary: "i mean sleep!"
Me: watching this at 2am hmm ah ok
6:48
70 years ago this was made, yet I am feeling personally attacked by this 😂
Umbra Same 😂And 12:54
And shame.
Lol best comment
too
Umbra lol right?!
I felt like she was roasting me the whole time
"An original is always more valuable than a copy, whether it is paintings or hats or girls."
OUCH
"Don't chew with sound effects" THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Why did Mary just get my whole life together for me in a youtube video that's 71 years old? Smh... lol
Schools need to bring back home economics! Our youth is in such need of this information.
Nat Julia ikr! im so glad I came across this video
Nat Julia I agree but unfortunately back then it was only for girls.
We have home economics in our school 😂
Nat Julia I do Home Ec in my school and it's nothing like this.
Is Home Ec uncommon nowadays? I think in my school it's offered as an elective ^^ But anyways, the commentor above me is right. It's like trying to teach kids etiquette; They don't give a fuck about it, so they majority will just mess around during the classes and either do the bare minimum for their assignments or not do them at all
Some of this is actually good advice.
Michaela M it is! Crazy that all these tips are timeless
Actually all of these are good advice
Principles still hold 80 years later.
신가현 except for the claws are for cats comment. I love my claws
Timeless advice that should still be taught. Men should also be taught good grooming practice.
Someone hasn’t watched “Queer eye for the straight guy”
So writing letters was equivalent to texting before bed .. omg i love this video
Don't copy people from Holly wood. Girls need to take that advice.
Beca Rose I use google images to give me ideas. If I like something I decide if it is workable in my life or if it will be an idea never relized. I love being original.
bloom4mee wow so that was in at some other point in history? weird
I actually don't like them and I agree with you.
I told my kids NEVER FOLLOW!
College credit from being well groomed!!! Most be nice.
Rick Sanchez I say we bring it back and put it into high school for both sexes. Might put an end to the boys who try to cover a pound of B.O. With with 2 pounds of Axe...
Rebekah Bell hahahahaha true!! But dont assumed im a boy because my name is rick Sanchez!! Thats a fictional character.
Rick Sanchez wubba lubba dub dub
We all need a Miss Mary in our lives...
honesty x
Why can't we still talk like this? Sounds so polished and sophisticated.
Those shoulder pads would make any 1980's fashionista totally jealous!
I can confirm this!
LOl! I got married in '91 and my wedding dress had shoulder pads! :)
majidi A lot of 1940s fashion influenced the 1980s. Everything always comes back
Anyone else loving these old tutorials and videos from the 1900s
Man, this lady would hate today fashion trends.
Love these tips, one thing is certain; back in the day the women looked and carried themselves beautifully!
Raquel R I still think some people do! But I think it has more to do with how many people carry themselves today. Many lack in good posture, charm (the ability to make someone feel comfortable with you), and frankly some even lack in good hygiene. These girls/women seem to focus a lot on that, as well as practice it all the time whilst during this era, it's common for many people to not do so. Which basically does effect your appearance as Mary pointed out.
My mom ws ON it! Stand up straight. Why are you wiggling? Don't swing your arms when you walk. Chin up. Speak clearly. Sit gracefully. Stop tugging at your clothrs. Stop touching your hair. Make eye contact. Stop tlalking. Stop interupting. No one wants ro her about that. Offer the lady a seat. Serve the tea. Use your napkin...keep your knees together. Pull your dress down...stand still. Wait til everyone's served...pass your plate to the person next to you. When my mom entered a room, it was as if Marilyn Monroe had arrived. Wish I had some of her grace.
I love that she says don't copy! That's a tip people really need to pay attention to in today's world.
Back when makeup was so easy!
It still can be easy. I find contouring unnecessary.
barnesfam i have a round face.. contour makes my face look slimmer. but the extreme contouring & too much is unnecessary
And brows!
Maddie Senator my makeup routine is BB cream (like a sheer foundation), tinted lip and cheek balm, and mascara. Natural makeup is always my favorite. But I love experimenting with Gothic, pastel goth, or 80s-90s-early 2000s makeup trends.
Hilarious: And whatever you do, don't chew gum with sound effects!!
Wish my Aunt would adhere to this advise, When she's chewing gum it sounds like pop rocks.
Bad posture is actually really unattractive
I love this! So true! Your health comes first. Daily bath, good nutrition, plenty of sleep, exercise all are the foundation!
Remember, ladies, no swing records at bedtime!
Aww sad they they are all gone to eternity now. But it's true when you are healthy and you are well groomed you feel awesome.
Not necessarily,my grandma was their age, she's 86 now
I thought this was gonna be offensive or cringey but I actually found this to be very nice and fascinating and it has held up
women were absolutely beautiful back then
Def agree
I don't know why, but I find videos like these so calming 😊
I grew up in the 50s,early 60s. I remember going to a party at age 17, in a borrowed (from my sister) "merry widow", a combination strapless bra & waist cincher undergarment. This was just before the mini skirts came in. I bought a book at 13 called "glamour for girls". The advice in it was very much like this film. We were encouraged to look neat & ladylike, something that seems extinct with the kids now.
I wish our generation was like this. But no racism or sexism. I wish we had respect.
I love how they made the best of everything, placing value on economy. I work in retail while going to school, and I see examples every day of people buying tons of ill fitting clothes just to have them. A few flattering, well kept pieces keeps your closet organized and cheap clothes out of landfills!
'and no staying up in bed writing letters!' when what was once self-indulgence is now virtue - and the 'you don't need to work for exercise, you can indulge yourself in sport too, i leave it to your conscience'
Why don't they teach us this stuff in school anymore? I know many people who don't even own an iron much less use one. Frequently people look like they never glance in a mirror. Hardly anyone has good posture anymore. This is useful information.
Christina Skinner it's nice to know but it's not needed.
Kassidy Gonzales it sure does make high school a whole lot more bearable though ... If everyone took care of themselves conditions would be a lot nicer.
We had home economics (is it called this in english?) in my school. I'm 19. I can cook, I am able to take care of my own laundry, I know how to clean a house, I was teached the right table etiquette. Its important to know those things. But I also have tattoos, piercings and dress like I want to dress. My body, my home is all my business and people have to learn that. You dont have to know how to Cook and all those things...but it makes your life much easier.
If you really want to learn to iron or cook then there's thousands of RUclips videos at the touch of your hand. Can't really force a 17 year old to learn to clean or cook, they have to want to
Btw all the schools in my district still have home economics
Once upon a time I decided that I would start steaming my clothes. Once I found out how long it took, I stopped. It's not the lack of information, it's the lack of time.
It's true you don't need to pretty to be attractive, confidence with manners, good posture and charm make a bigger impact
I love how natural they look. I also love vintage fashion.
I would write to her and ask her some questions but I don't know her email orFacebook 😉
Izabela Maria if you want to contact her an ouji board might work
Shelby Jean a* ouija*
Shelby Jean lmao 😂
This lady slays
" i mean sleep. Not sitting up in bed reading a book or listening to music" Nowadays it's sitting up or laying down in your bed on social media or just the internet in general
I actually find the advice in these videos is good and relevant to my life. It's all about good habits.
On the topic of long nails "Claws are for cats" Sing it sister!
VioletWillowTree I keep my nails long because I have a very small figure. If I were ever in danger this would be my only weapon. Nails or death.
+Quackin Panda Agree! It's so fun to have long nails as well. I love grooming them that way.
Quackin Panda Well, I'm both thin and short and I keep my nails a regular length. Each to their own, but for me, long nails (and especially false) look tacky and awkward to live with.
+VioletWillowTree I understand why you might think that way. I think as long as they're dirt-free and groomed well, then that's good enough. c:
i wonder what the young ppl of the 40s thought of this... did they think it was good advice or did they all just roll their eyes
weirdly enough this advice is timeless
What's sad is that none of these ladies would still be alive today, and if one is, she may not even know she is alive. What cracks me up is her statement that a lot of beauty regimens get replaced with listening to swing music.. lol!!! Oh well, Glenn Miller was worth it.
I wonder if 70 years from now people will be watching today's videos as what not to wear
I definitely wouldn't say none. The teenage girls would've been born around the mid 20s which would make them at their early 90s today.
my grandma was a teen in those times and is super healthy. shes probably a rarity tho haha
Wrong , my 97 year old grandma is still alive and knows where she is.
15:00 "clothes are put away NEATLY. Theyre not frantically looking for them"
I'm just looking at my walk in closet with clothes dirty and new thrown about everywhere on the floor. No wonder I can't find anything to wear.
Astrid girl it makes such a difference. Ever since I started ironing my clothes, my closet is so much more organized and getting dressed in the a m isn't a workout
Chicks in those days often owned like 2 dresses, 2 blouses, and a couple skirts. Maybe a sweater. And they all had to be dry cleaned and pressed. Tending that stuff must've been like a religion.
They planned out the surprise and the cue and everything, but Ginny wasn't even vaguely shocked! Ginny you've let your whole squad down.
The original is always more valuable than a copy, love that advice.
Claws are for cats lmao 😂 Also a clothes brush! I never knew those existed. That would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly than those sticky rolly thingies.
timeless good tips 👍🏽❤️
Dephne Madyara hello sis ❤ it made me smile to see your comment here 😂 , you are a classy lady♥ blessings 💕
They're faces look completely different than how we look now. Everyone looks more exotic now
Ashley Davis it's all that fake tan
American society is more acceptably racially integrated nowadays; you see a lot of mixed-race individuals and multiracial communities. The 1940s had a segregated society, so I guess maybe that's why.
Most people look manufactured now.
Please. Don't take this as racism,
They are from the European race. Today there a lot more brown people in white countries and so many white Europeans have tan now (men are normally natural tan, women fake tan) so young people today are not familiar with what Europeans real appearance is.
Miss Alyss America isn't a "white country" though...
Damn she was straight forward about the nails 😂
Ha. I have definitely seen old ladies put on their lipstick like this.
You know I happen to like some of the women in this video the clothes compliment them well. Although they are probably dead by now, in their youth they were definitely beautiful.
Electric Kool-Aid My grandma was 4 when this video was released and she's still alive. My great grandma (father's side) was 12. She's alive as well.
Not all of them are dead!
They should play this for high school students, male and female. So vital to look groomed and professional in a work place, job interview and just daily life.
I'm using this video because I don't have a mom to tell me these things :(
Honestly, this is super useful and would be really great if you were new to all this. It's concise and demonstrative, all the basics in one. It doesn't pretend nobody cares how they look, which I appreciate. I'm a big believer in looking presentable though, ha!
See, they knew you need AT LEAST 8 hours of sleep
as a Beauty therapy student It's so weird to see how the cleansing routine is still the same today it just has more steps like exfoliation and moisturizing.
Love this. So timeless. The accent was also very lovely. I could listen to her advice all day!
The girl who got engaged. I love her dress.
When she said "thorough and regular shampooing" but you have curly hair
timeless advice. love it. love the simplicity of it.
Just imagine people 50 or 60 years in the future are gonna look at our tutorials and say “oh they didn’t have this 50 years ago? Must’ve been hard”
Now I'm stuck wondering what face shape I have😂😂😂
Emili Gracee well if you search up celebrity face shapes just pick the one that looks most like you, or ask a friend
hey!! what did a sandwich and a sundae ever do to you lady?! 😣
Mary's victory rolls are on fleek.
I'm out here in 2017 getting beauty tips fron 1940s
They used a lot of tissue back then.
Are they all using the same makeup? They look like porcelain dolls!
Tamika ED I believe this film was in black and white and colorized at a later date.
This was filmed originally in color. There would have been no economical reason for anyone to take an ephemeral film, such as this one, that hasn't even been restored and then colorize it.
Tamika ED Bronzers didn't show up until the 1970s. That's why they look porcelain and Gray.
Not really. People could get darker if they wanted to.. but pale was desired at the time. They kept their skin away from the sun the best they could and often made it a bit paler with powder. Tanning and wanting a sunkissed look came in at the late 40s and 50s.
traci0dee I do not believe it was filmed in color. It may have been colorized after the original filming before being shown. Too much of it is black and white. I am now*no.expert. Just my observations. Thanks for responding.💐
Aww, people seemed to appreciate life so much more back then. How I wish I could go back to that time! No phones or anything! Just fresh air and good times 😊❤️
1946, yikes
Samantha Thompson .... bicycles and picnics!
I love the cape she's wearing when she's doing her makeup. It's so cute!
I love how beautiful the girls look in the past. They put a lot of effort in their looks and clothing. i just brush my hair and teeth.
God, this actually taught me a few things I needed reminding of
She would flip if she knows today's beauty trend...😂😂
Mary the 1940's beauty guru
I wish she did all face TYPES- I'm oval I need a hairstyle!!
13:42 Then heel's are totally banging! !💜
I feel like I want to be friends with everyone in this comment section
Ive never seen the whole thing at once! thank you
Meanwhile in 2017 we have articles coming out saying daily baths 🛀🏾 or showers 🚿 are not necessary. 😒
😂 claws? Isn't that the common thing now?
I want to bring back gloves.
I find these videos so captivating💕 and I'm actually learning a lot from them
Thank you for uploading this, new subscriber
I love this video. I watch it over and over again.
I do too - and I'm a guy.
Me too. It’s lovely.
Watching it again :)
I love the last bit of advice.....dont copy
almost everything is true except frequently washing your hair. That can actually be damaging..
Brittany Baria Nichole frequently in the 40s was once a week.
their accents r so cute
they are!
I wish I had this lady as my grandma.
Need some of that cleaning fluid
Wow the hair idea is actually really helpful
Love these old videos
timeless tips but remember that nothing trumps what makes you as an individual feel beautiful, comfortable and happy. if you like your hair, clothes, makeup, nails, whatever a certain way that goes against the overall beauty standard, that's 100% fine. don't feel obligated to fit into the cookie-cutter.
I love this 😆
So was eyeliner and mascara not available then, or was it just discouraged for teenagers to use it? Love the simple beauty of this.
It was definitely available. Eye makeup was very popular in the 1920s. But you're right; teens weren't encouraged to wear a ton of makeup unless it was for a special occasion, like prom.
I sometimes feel like hearing my mom 😆
lol I think that's why I like this particular film so much. It's just like your mom telling you really basic stuff: "Don't worry about being pretty enough; just keep clean, dress classy, and stop eating junk food."
I feel so scolded after watching this!
N Santander same lol
Absolutely love this. Thank you so much
