  • So for our decades series last year we traveled back through time until the 1960s - so I decided to go back another decade and put together an entire look based on the fashion, hair and makeup trends of the 50s! What do you think of the finished look?
    A big thank you to Kayley Melissa and Gabriela Hernandez for helping us out with our midcentury makeover!

    This was wonderful.
    I was born in the mid-50's. My mother was in her mid-20s then. I remember her in the late-50's "putting herself together" before my father came home.
    I remember the smell of the pancake makeup, being yelled at to be quiet while she tried to draw on her eyebrows and eye-liner. Careful choice of the dress and matching shoes. If they were going out, she always had her gloves and scarf. She finished it all off with "Lily of the Valley" cologne and her rhinestones.
    I thought she was magnificent.
    Thanks for the memories. Mom passed away a decade ago, but my favorite picture of her is a small portrait of her in 1950's high style. All done up like you in this video, but with her rhinestones and a little Mona Lisa smile.

    • @bluelol4843
      @bluelol4843 2 года назад +31

      yeah, the lack of pockets is a very recent thing actually. in the 18th and 19th centuries (speaking about western fashion here), the pockets were large enough that you could fit a hell of a lot of stuff in it. i’m not exaggerating either, sometimes people used their skirt supports in the 18th century (like, when the dresses were extremely wide but not all that thick) as pockets. that’s why they’re called pocket hoops sometimes.

      She does look very beautiful, and while I might be a little partial (I dress in 40's/50's inspired fashion everyday) I do think she looks the best in it. That is sort of part of the 50's look though. Petticoats/girdles/bullet bras were there to help give all women that iconic hourglass shape. Bullet bras helped a flatter chest look full, petticoats gave the illusion of hips to those that didn't have them. By wearing things that make your top and bottom half look bigger, and your middle the smallest, then it helps all figures look like the ideal figure. So the classic new look 50's style really looks great on anyone because the foundation garments help give everyone that shape!

    Safiya is one of the few stand out youtubers today. You can tell that actual work and effort go into her video and doesn't just churn out youtube topics that are currently trending for the sake of views. Even if it is a topic that has been tackled by 1000 other youtubers hers will always stand out for being well researched and from her unique point of view. Which seems to be showing a genuine interest and curiosity in the topic. Added to that is Safiya's sense of humour that just makes great content that I always enjoy whether I have an interest in 1950s fashion or not. I don't think you could define Safiya's content as any one thing, like comedy, beauty, sketch, educational, curiosity because her videos are often all these things rolled into one. It's like she has taken the educational and research style of videos and applied it to pop culture and integrated it with her sense of humour.
    I don't know what the point of this is, other than that kind of hard work and originality is so hard to find on youtube these days (even among big youtubers that have been around for years) that I have to call it when I see it.

    I wish this series went back to the 40's, 30's, and 20's. Those were some cool eras in fashion and super dramatic. You in a 30's frock would be glam and witchy and amazing. A new installment of the series, perhaps??

      Not just those eras but then go further back, past few centuries worth of fashion! Would also be cool to see her dress up in a kimono and traditional clothing of other countries.
