I work for an ophthalmologist and a couple years ago we had a patient call in for an emergency appointment to dee the doctor because she was separating her lashes with a needle and poked her eyeball with it. Lash brushes are good enough! Lol. Love your videos.
We used safety pins in the 80s ! We were highly committed to getting those natural looking feathery lashes . I used the little ones then would bend it, never had one accident! The brushes and combs just didn't compare unfortunately. Disclaimer: I don't recommend anyone use safety pins to separate their lashes 😎 Also, why they call them " safety pins "is beyond me! 😅
@@krissykriss328 In Spanish we call them "imperdibles" that translates as something like "unloseables". Sorry, I couldn't find if the word even existed in English. I found "unmissable" but I'm not sure if you can use it for an object that can't be lost.
Lord have mercy 😭 I have definitely had one patient in the ER from this and was very confused and now I finally know why. Thankfully she just got it stuck in the eyelid, not great but she didn’t mess up her cornea so not as gnarly 😖 I had always thought she had been in some terrible sewing incident 😅
I was getting so tired of it too! Erin single-handedly revived my love for watching makeup videos. Well only hers at least 😂 They’re just so informative and fun!
I’ve said it before and I’mma say it again. She is giving us what we need in the beauty community. What we’ve been looking for. We wanna LEARN. We don’t wanna be SOLD shit every five seconds. Thank you so much babe for your work. This is your online gay bestie/fan! Lol
She’s giving us original, creative content, glamour, history, art and makeup tutorials. All conveyed with a sweet, quirky charm. I hope her channel explodes!❤
Laura, Like you, I'm not really a makeup person, but I'm hooked on everything Erin produces! She is incredibly knowledgeable and the content she provides is so compelling. Add to that her genuine and open personality and it feels like your best friend just dropped in to teach you the latest beauty tip or whisper some delicious Hollywood gossip in your ear! I try not to miss a single video - they just make me feel good! ☺️
I follow a few influencers, not many, tho. I love Erin, Bailey, and Jamie French the most, tho. Jamie just does movie reviews and comedy now. I really love old Hollywood. I love these videos very much. ❤❤❤
I'm just going to start referring to you as a makeup historian. It pleases me to the depths of my soul that you included Josephine Baker and Dorothy Dandridge in your video. I always thought of them as beautiful. I also thought that Grace Kelly had great fashion sense and might have been photogenic. I've just never seen a bad picture of her. I think of Jennifer Lopez in the same way. And Mae West....I wish she had movies done about her. I didn't know until Dita Von Teese mentioned that she didn't move to Hollywood and sign a movie contract until she was 40. Mae West acted in, wrote, directed and produced so many things. It just seems like she doesn't get the credit that she could have gotten. Please continue to share what you've learned about these iconic women.
Wow, just WOW. Erin popped up on my feed and I'm obsessed now. I'm 42 and my mom raised me on the Hollywood starlets. "Black and white" movies. The acting was so incredible back in those days. I still cry every dang time I watch Wuthering Heights. You really FEEL those old movies. Def different from present lol
@Erin Parsons Makeup oh gosh yesssss. I watch every year around Christmas. It's my thing lol I'm so glad there are folks like me out there! And don't get me started on Casablanca lol
I had no idea Marilyn did the “take the makeup off” trick but I do that to myself everyday. I apply my base makeup, then take water on a paper towel and gently just dab. It takes some of the base off but for whatever reason, just makes my face look flawless. Soft. Even toned and poreless. I don’t understand how or why it works in me, but it does. ❤
I used to do this when I was younger but with lotion! I’d do my whole face with my foundation/powder & at the very end I’d take the tiniest dab, rub it on my hands & lightly press them into my skin to give it an almost dewy finish 🤲🏼 ❤
@@yeeaahhzzeen mixing my foundation with lotion for years! I have desert dry skin so that's why I originally started doing it. I mostly use bb or cc cream now but lotion n foundation mix is a great trick.goota be careful what kinda lotion u mix with tho..my go to moisturizer is the Clinique dramatically different been using that for over 10yrs😊
@@LeeLeeCRNyesss that Clinique one works so well with foundations! I've even been able to take a super high coverage, matte foundation and turn it into a natural finish.
Ive been rewatching your videos in order over and over! I dont know what it is about you but you’re so calm and your video concepts speak to me. KEEP IT COMING, I LOVE IT!!
@@ibanez856 Isn't it just like your BF dropped by to show you the latest beauty secrets when you watch one of Erin's videos? She makes you feel like she's sitting right next to you guiding your hand until you get the technique just right and the color matches your skin tone, or the eyeliner is drawn fully, or the curlers are removed and your hair is perfectly coiffed. And, the whole time she's sitting there with you, she has a pile of Hollywood gossip magazines that she's paging through and keeping up a steady stream of conversation about the stars' beauty routines and their supposed best kept secrets. Erin's depth of knowledge about the history and origins of makeup is truly incredible, but it's her warm and genuine nature that makes Erin such a stand out SUPER STAR from among all the glamorous stars she shares information about!! 🌟✨💫 It is truly a gift to be able to talk to hundreds, but make it seem as though you are having a one -to-one conversation. Erin is so very gifted and captivating! Bravo and encore, encore!!! 💅💋💕🧡
I’ve been doing a variation on that Marilyn tip on my own - I spritz my finished look (before or instead of setting spray) with witch hazel based toner in a spray bottle, wait for it to set down into a “mask” and then firmly press, not wipe, a tissue over the face to pick up as much I can before finishing with a spray if I want to lock that in. It’s great for a natural look.
Taylor Swift does a variation of this. Kind of a random one off I read somewhere but she said she always blots off her foundation with a tissue. I personally use a clean, dry blending brush to blend everything out which always ends up taking off some foundation
i just love how you can see her different categories of creativity come out through her appearance. mixing sparkly tooth earrings and vintage makeup styles is so fun and i love how she is unconditionally herself🤍
I’m impressed that these beauty icons from different times and professions did have applications that created this unique look together. Especially since each actress, dancer looks so different from each other and you! It’s such a cool experiment and delightful to see!
"I dont need false lashes, just 45 coats of mascara" 😂that had me cracking up ! Its so awesome to be seeing you do long form videos I've always loved when you did the shorter videos but lowkey always wanted more so its great to see you posting on youtube. Makeup history, I feel like, doesn't get as much love as it should... the looks and styles done so many years ago always come back in some way or another and its cool to have some one as dedicated as you to be bringing the history to life !
Here's the thing: watching Erin's videos is truly invigorating. You feel so fresh afterward, and like you want to just play with makeup! She really is what the makeup community needs - I love this kind of content so so much ❤

I just love your channel!! I am a retired Cosmetologist(Hairstylist)/Cosmetology Instructor; I did a lot of skin care and make-up applications in my day. Your demos are so informative and lovely to watch!! I also love that you spotlight the stars of the Golden Age of Cinema! My major after Cosmetology School was Theatre and although I didn't finish that one, I still act a lot in "Am-Dram". I have used a couple of your techniques in my stage makeup application. Keep it up, Gorgeous!!

I would love, love to see a Jayne Mansfield inspired look! I’ve always noticed how unique her lips were, and how beautiful her curls were! Your videos are soothing for me to watch! I can’t wait for more 💕💕
I cannot tell you how much I enjoyed this! I love that you're bringing these vintage techniques into the 21st century, and showing us how we could incorporate them in our looks today. Definitely going to try some of these!
I LOVE that you’re authentic and relatable. You are actually encouraging me to switch my make-up up! I did that a lot when I was younger but the last five years I just did the same routines all the time. You’re rekindling my passion for make-up!
I’ve never been interested in make up till I found your channel. Watching your videos has given me new found respect for people who do makeup. It’s very informative. Thanks for posting these you are iconic!
I absolutely loved that you took a wide range of beauty icons. I think it’s fabulous and very current that you didn’t just use old Hollywood and show from a Caucasian beauty standard. Thank you so much for including women of color in your video and thank you so much for showing these techniques from old Hollywood.
@Under Construction Time, putting the money into the supplies, and living in a modern world. 🤷♀️ The list could go on why faster hairstyles have to be done for me, personally. That's why we don't tell strangers what they can and can't do. Because we don't know them. Lol I'm not a Hollywood starlet either. So I don't have anyone doing it for me.
Howard Hughes had a lot to do with this look due to his casting of Jean Harlow in his film, "hells angels"! Howard Hughes truly had incredible taste when his ocd wasn't fully taking over his psyche!
You very quickly became my favourite RUclipsr and not just because we both love Marilyn Monroe so much. I love your whole vibe and how educational and fun your videos are ❤
The diversity has always been out there. The very first beauty book I read as a 14yr old was The Leslie Uggams Beauty Book. It was for everyone and had gorgrous photos of her.
@@whyhihigh she returned that. So plz don’t spread hate here. Also she was very respectful, the way she never sampled any of Marilyn’s original lipstick should demonstrate that, and you should know better !
You are exactly the kind of beauty inspiration I need in my life! You taught me how to use makeup better and not just buy more. (Although I do like getting new makeup 😅)
You make my soul happy every upload I followed u and was just so happy u came to RUclips to share ....your knowledge......there are things I have collected for years makeup and hair antiques ...plus ancient artifacts I only have a few Egyptian mainly and keeping a true love for old Hollywood. The stories ...Tricks... tips things I feel has been lost ..I've study ancient civilizations and Old Hollywood for 20 years amateurly ...A professional makeup Artist and cosmetologists has been my profession but I did go back to school just for the knowledge....history rituals and beauty is my life interest...funny mix people say ...I maybe digging in the dirt one day and the next in a wig and red highheels...you are cut from the same cloth I feel..Thanku for these videos ❤
I LOVE you SOOOO much! This video is probably my favorite so far because I am the only person I know who keeps a cable subscription just so I can watch TCM on demand! And I mostly watch films from roughly 1935- 1945, and let’s be honest, 37- 42 are the BEST years… give me Joan (Crawford, Fontaine & Blondell), give me Bette, Jean, Olivia, Rosalind, Lana, Katherine, Glenda, Jimmy, Cary, Franchot, Clarke, Errol, the trio of Roberts… Taylor, Montgomery, Young…. Girl, you know. It just makes my heart so happy to know that someone else loves that old golden age where they didn’t have to use sex, violence or profanity to make a great film, and don’t get me wrong, I’m down with some sex, violence and profanity… but they kept it classy! Thank you for what you’re doing!
I used to perform outdoors a lot in the heat and after the show I would notice the sweat would really meld everything together and I would look so flawless and well rested, so now I set my make up twice with really water. I spritz it all over, wait for it to dry, then spritz again. Sometimes going over everything with the makeup sponge also helps even it all out depending on how much foundation I have on that day.
High school in the mid 1970’s. One of my girlfriends had a Mom who followed Old Hollywood glamour since the Mom was young in high school. She taught us almost all of these tricks. Separating the eyelashes with a needle was a BIG BEAUTY TIP that we loved and continued to use. IDK why it was popular in the 80’s as you said in your video but we were doing this back in 1972! £❤¥€ your videos, @ErinParsonsMakeup ❤❤❤ YOU are ICONIC! 😍
This was fun! Love these tips. I have a star stamp that I use to make a star on my face when I'm feeling extra. Love your channel can't believe I just recently found you. Love the vintage looks!
Absolutey adore this video!💕 I'm 53 & started using every cosmetic I could get my hands on in the 80's as a teen. My mom raised us on old Hollywood movies and was always telling me about tips she'd heard thru the years that old Hollywood stars used. Of course, I tried to incorporate them into my 80's routine. I thought the Marlene Dietrich soot eyeshadow was an absolute genius trick. I heard she invented it during World War 2 while on the road supporting the troops & makeup was scarce. Long story long, lol, depending on how much vaseline I used or how sweaty I got in gym class, it worked really well...sometimes!😄 Love your channel!🥰
Your work as an artist, influencer and vintage lover is mesmerizing!! I already learned so much about beauty history and makeup tips!! You are one in a million, congrats!!
Also I feel like perhaps the vintage max factor panstik had a more oilier consistency making it easier to take off with a tissue simply by patting it as Marilyn described, but this Krayolin tv stick is very dry and matte, I have this one so I know it’s really matte. Also the modern pan stick is also not that matte. So maybe Erin you can try with max factor ? 😊
I actually don’t find it matte. 😊 but not radiant either - I have the old pan sticks and the texture seemed very similar to me. But maybe I’ll do a video using an actual Panstik from that time. Hopefully it won’t affect my skin eek! But I’m curious to see the difference. Also I’ve seen pics of Marilyn at her makeup table with the Panstik product so I do believe she would have used it exactly. I even have a quote from whitey on which color 🤩
Wow, this was such a nice surprise that you actually put everything on, I thought it would just be a talk through! And I just feel like there's a woman in the world wearing teeth earrings really lifted my spirit
STUNNING , INTERESTING. TALENTED. RELEVANT. EDUCATIONAL. ON POINT TO THE LAST DETAIL. ENJOYABLE. PERSONAL. WATCHING YOR VIDEOS IS PURE JOY ERIN. sorry i really had to use caps because i am saying it very loud. never stop. big love
I really appreciate your warm vocal quality and passion for make-up artistry. They lured me in! AND...even though it can be dangerous if you don't go gentle and slow, I separate my lashes with a small safety pin as needed. The lashes have to be wet though and I find it works best if you are mixing 2 different mascaras (which I do often). I will be trying a few of these, that soot eyeshadow is sexy but understated. Thanks for the intel, sis! 💗✨
I totally loved seeing the beautiful glamour these actresses had! Please do more of these for us history buffs. Erin, you have ignited my interest in Hollywood Glamour!
Thank you for all that you do. I know it is hard work but let me tell you that we appreciate you so much. You brought back what the beauty community needed ♡ genuine love for our community that was loosing touch.
I have to say I’m so glad you made a RUclips and started posting here. I really love these longer form videos so i appreciate you bringing some content for us!
I’m a guy that doesn’t wear makeup, but I sure love history as well as art. Came across your video of a reel about Marilyn Monroe, and love that we have a mutual friend with Mr. Julien in common. Makeup is truly a form of art, and I absolutely love learning not only the history, but watching your intricate techniques. You’re a true expert in your craft and can’t wait to see more videos of you!
Love getting glam. Worked in the fitness industry, often w 1 clients/day or teaching classes. Never had time or energy for the glow up, so now making ups for lost time!
I love learning about the history of jewelry as a jewelry artist, perfume as a fragrance lover, but I didn't know much about cosmetics aside from kohl and lipstick so thank you for the education. Amazing how self-adornment is almost as old as our species. When I worked for Dior some Eastern European women went crazy over a bright orange lipstick, I can't remember if it was a Chanel or YSL color from the 1990s - probably YSL, they put it on their lips and rubbed it on their cheeks so enthusiastically I admired their boldness. At the time I just wore Chapstick and concealer, but still don't wear much makeup because I don't have the right face for it, though I would if I could pull it off. I love the disco teeth earrings!
I love old movies! My favourite costume designer is Edith Head. Talk about glamour! Now you are adding this other dimension to my enjoyment. I love your approach to makeup and what you bring to your channel. Thank you Erin ❤
erin, you are literally my absolute favourite makeup artist, i finished my diploma in beauty therapy and for the makeup units you inspired me so much and i used the technique’s you do, you’re an icon and i love all the makeup history you share with us💘
yes! the pin for mascara, and, we were doing our blush this way back in the 70's-80's too. i still do it this way. we were serious / clueless sun lovers back then so we were probably more baked, lol... ;) and re: the blush, since i'm olive, i have always preferred this method using tawny's, reds, and mauves instead of the typical current "contour shades". most of the time, tawny just seems to be the right shade of contour for me. maybe this info will help some other olives out there! :D love your content Erin!!!
Those amazing pictures of Norma when she was still a movie vixen/ home wrecker character!! Love. Adding Swiss Kriss to the face steam water will also tighten the skin and really refresh the eyes for people with "bags".
The algorithm recommended me a stunning lady wearing one of the best looks I've seen in a long time who's talking about super interesting stuff????? It's a lucky day!!!!

Thank you so much for including women of color in your video and thank you so much for showing these techniques from old Hollywood.
The makeup historian! Thank you much for including us people of color in your content in a very organic way. I love that.
Every Erin vid is so thoughtful and informative! love it.
That soot eyeshadow is AMAZING!!!
Erin is the best! She incorporated tips from starlets of various ethnic backgrounds, not just white chicks.
It’s absolutely incredible how you tied EVERY tip together and it looks cohesive and gorgeous.
I love these hairstyles! So creative! Wish we still did stuff like that!
I mean you still can. What’s really stopping you?
@Under Construction Time, putting the money into the supplies, and living in a modern world. 🤷♀️
The list could go on why faster hairstyles have to be done for me, personally.
That's why we don't tell strangers what they can and can't do. Because we don't know them. Lol
I'm not a Hollywood starlet either. So I don't have anyone doing it for me.
Howard Hughes had a lot to do with this look due to his casting of Jean Harlow in his film, "hells angels"! Howard Hughes truly had incredible taste when his ocd wasn't fully taking over his psyche!
I absolutely love this, makes so happy to see you enjoy the process, and the make up of course looks incredible ❤
I love how you have fun with colour in your clothes and make up, you mix warm and cool colours effortlessly which is actually really tricky! ❤
Love you Erin! Thank you for all that you do so diligently! I would love to see you in Liz Taylor glamor from the 50s 😏💕💕💕
I’d definitely love to try that! I actually have a couple of her wigs 😍
When people embrace their hobbies, we end up with awesome content like this!! So glad she’s doing what she’s doing
I’m a huge fan of Erin and all of her looks! You rock Erin! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻✌️💕
Love that you used tips from celebrities with different ethnicities. Love Dolores del Rio 🇲🇽
You very quickly became my favourite RUclipsr and not just because we both love Marilyn Monroe so much. I love your whole vibe and how educational and fun your videos are ❤
Thank you so much for highlighting talent like Josephine Baker, makes me so happy to see such diversity of old Hollywood beauty on your channel ❤
The diversity has always been out there. The very first beauty book I read as a 14yr old was The Leslie Uggams Beauty Book. It was for everyone and had gorgrous photos of her.
Wow! I’ve been ‘steaming’ makeup as a setting method for YEARS and had no idea it was a thing.
Mad props for rock’n those Josephine Baker curls!
I love Erin so much. Erin is my makeup idol she isn't problematic at all too which i LOVEE
I agree!
didn’t she buy some Egyptian comb or instrument of sorts which should rightfully be in Egypt and was stolen?
@@whyhihigh she returned that. So plz don’t spread hate here. Also she was very respectful, the way she never sampled any of Marilyn’s original lipstick should demonstrate that, and you should know better !
@@whyhihigh not sure but even if she did she could've bought it from someone in egypt? Idk honestly
Everyone is problematic. Don’t set unrealistic standards for people that they can’t live up to
I love the darker blush #60! I have used a similar color for years. The mascara before you separated the lashes was giving Twiggy vibes!
You are exactly the kind of beauty inspiration I need in my life! You taught me how to use makeup better and not just buy more. (Although I do like getting new makeup 😅)
You make my soul happy every upload I followed u and was just so happy u came to RUclips to share ....your knowledge......there are things I have collected for years makeup and hair antiques ...plus ancient artifacts I only have a few Egyptian mainly and keeping a true love for old Hollywood. The stories ...Tricks... tips things I feel has been lost ..I've study ancient civilizations and Old Hollywood for 20 years amateurly ...A professional makeup Artist and cosmetologists has been my profession but I did go back to school just for the knowledge....history rituals and beauty is my life interest...funny mix people say ...I maybe digging in the dirt one day and the next in a wig and red highheels...you are cut from the same cloth I feel..Thanku for these videos ❤
This was amazing! Thank you for putting this together! And of course, your makeup turned out gorgeous
I LOVE you SOOOO much! This video is probably my favorite so far because I am the only person I know who keeps a cable subscription just so I can watch TCM on demand! And I mostly watch films from roughly 1935- 1945, and let’s be honest, 37- 42 are the BEST years… give me Joan (Crawford, Fontaine & Blondell), give me Bette, Jean, Olivia, Rosalind, Lana, Katherine, Glenda, Jimmy, Cary, Franchot, Clarke, Errol, the trio of Roberts… Taylor, Montgomery, Young…. Girl, you know. It just makes my heart so happy to know that someone else loves that old golden age where they didn’t have to use sex, violence or profanity to make a great film, and don’t get me wrong, I’m down with some sex, violence and profanity… but they kept it classy!
Thank you for what you’re doing!
Loving your channel so much! Your deep research and attention to detail is super appreciated. You're inspiring me. 💛
I see you rockin those doll chunk earrings 🎉🎉🎉🎉 ❤❤❤
Erin, this was so good! I appreciate the work you put into these videos. Those earrings and the nails matching the lips are everything!
That lip shade with that eye smoke!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
You have become one of my favorites RUclipsrs! Keep being amazing, doll!
I love how you dive straight into topic without a long intro. you have a lovely channel, thank your for sharing your knowledge
Love your charisma, your voice, everything! You're so calming and your videos are engaging
I used to perform outdoors a lot in the heat and after the show I would notice the sweat would really meld everything together and I would look so flawless and well rested, so now I set my make up twice with really water. I spritz it all over, wait for it to dry, then spritz again. Sometimes going over everything with the makeup sponge also helps even it all out depending on how much foundation I have on that day.
I ADORE your videos! Never stop! ❤❤❤
High school in the mid 1970’s. One of my girlfriends had a Mom who followed Old Hollywood glamour since the Mom was young in high school. She taught us almost all of these tricks. Separating the eyelashes with a needle was a BIG BEAUTY TIP that we loved and continued to use. IDK why it was popular in the 80’s as you said in your video but we were doing this back in 1972! £❤¥€ your videos, @ErinParsonsMakeup ❤❤❤ YOU are ICONIC! 😍
This was fun! Love these tips. I have a star stamp that I use to make a star on my face when I'm feeling extra. Love your channel can't believe I just recently found you. Love the vintage looks!
Absolutey adore this video!💕 I'm 53 & started using every cosmetic I could get my hands on in the 80's as a teen. My mom raised us on old Hollywood movies and was always telling me about tips she'd heard thru the years that old Hollywood stars used. Of course, I tried to incorporate them into my 80's routine. I thought the Marlene Dietrich soot eyeshadow was an absolute genius trick. I heard she invented it during World War 2 while on the road supporting the troops & makeup was scarce. Long story long, lol, depending on how much vaseline I used or how sweaty I got in gym class, it worked really well...sometimes!😄 Love your channel!🥰
Is anyone else getting Sharon Tate vibes with Erin’s eyes? 🤩😍
I can see that 😊
Your work as an artist, influencer and vintage lover is mesmerizing!! I already learned so much about beauty history and makeup tips!! You are one in a million, congrats!!
Also I feel like perhaps the vintage max factor panstik had a more oilier consistency making it easier to take off with a tissue simply by patting it as Marilyn described, but this Krayolin tv stick is very dry and matte, I have this one so I know it’s really matte. Also the modern pan stick is also not that matte. So maybe Erin you can try with max factor ? 😊
I actually don’t find it matte. 😊 but not radiant either - I have the old pan sticks and the texture seemed very similar to me. But maybe I’ll do a video using an actual Panstik from that time. Hopefully it won’t affect my skin eek! But I’m curious to see the difference. Also I’ve seen pics of Marilyn at her makeup table with the Panstik product so I do believe she would have used it exactly. I even have a quote from whitey on which color 🤩
@@erinparsonsmakeup I’ve noticed that mehron creme sticks are a little more oily than kryolan. I wonder how that would work 🤔
Oh lord she breaking out the pan sticks 😂
Wow this is my favorite look. The Yellow lavender and coral on your skin tone is stunning
Wow, this was such a nice surprise that you actually put everything on, I thought it would just be a talk through! And I just feel like there's a woman in the world wearing teeth earrings really lifted my spirit
STUNNING , INTERESTING. TALENTED. RELEVANT. EDUCATIONAL. ON POINT TO THE LAST DETAIL. ENJOYABLE. PERSONAL. WATCHING YOR VIDEOS IS PURE JOY ERIN. sorry i really had to use caps because i am saying it very loud. never stop. big love
I used to do the needle technique years ago. I felt it worked better than lash comb as it didn’t take of any mascara. Just separated lashes. 🥰😊
I love all the makeup tips & tricks of Hollywood icons being a black & white movie lover!
I also love your molar earrings!
I really appreciate your warm vocal quality and passion for make-up artistry. They lured me in! AND...even though it can be dangerous if you don't go gentle and slow, I separate my lashes with a small safety pin as needed. The lashes have to be wet though and I find it works best if you are mixing 2 different mascaras (which I do often). I will be trying a few of these, that soot eyeshadow is sexy but understated. Thanks for the intel, sis! 💗✨
I totally loved seeing the beautiful glamour these actresses had! Please do more of these for us history buffs. Erin, you have ignited my interest in Hollywood Glamour!
Thank you for all that you do. I know it is hard work but let me tell you that we appreciate you so much. You brought back what the beauty community needed ♡ genuine love for our community that was loosing touch.
Where have you been all my life! The highlight of my day is when I get to watch a new video or TikTok from you.
I have to say I’m so glad you made a RUclips and started posting here. I really love these longer form videos so i appreciate you bringing some content for us!
I’m a guy that doesn’t wear makeup, but I sure love history as well as art. Came across your video of a reel about Marilyn Monroe, and love that we have a mutual friend with Mr. Julien in common. Makeup is truly a form of art, and I absolutely love learning not only the history, but watching your intricate techniques. You’re a true expert in your craft and can’t wait to see more videos of you!
Stunning without the makeup and stunning with the makeup! This is the best beauty Chanel right now! ❤️❌⭕️
Love the range of women you mention. Gets me excited learning about classic beauties and their techniques.
Love getting glam. Worked in the fitness industry, often w 1 clients/day or teaching classes. Never had time or energy for the glow up, so now making ups for lost time!
I love learning about the history of jewelry as a jewelry artist, perfume as a fragrance lover, but I didn't know much about cosmetics aside from kohl and lipstick so thank you for the education. Amazing how self-adornment is almost as old as our species. When I worked for Dior some Eastern European women went crazy over a bright orange lipstick, I can't remember if it was a Chanel or YSL color from the 1990s - probably YSL, they put it on their lips and rubbed it on their cheeks so enthusiastically I admired their boldness. At the time I just wore Chapstick and concealer, but still don't wear much makeup because I don't have the right face for it, though I would if I could pull it off. I love the disco teeth earrings!
You are the one and only in the beauty community saying or doing something different. congratulations.
I love old movies! My favourite costume designer is Edith Head. Talk about glamour! Now you are adding this other dimension to my enjoyment. I love your approach to makeup and what you bring to your channel. Thank you Erin ❤
erin, you are literally my absolute favourite makeup artist, i finished my diploma in beauty therapy and for the makeup units you inspired me so much and i used the technique’s you do, you’re an icon and i love all the makeup history you share with us💘
yes! the pin for mascara, and, we were doing our blush this way back in the 70's-80's too. i still do it this way. we were serious / clueless sun lovers back then so we were probably more baked, lol... ;) and re: the blush, since i'm olive, i have always preferred this method using tawny's, reds, and mauves instead of the typical current "contour shades". most of the time, tawny just seems to be the right shade of contour for me. maybe this info will help some other olives out there! :D love your content Erin!!!
Those amazing pictures of Norma when she was still a movie vixen/ home wrecker character!! Love.
Adding Swiss Kriss to the face steam water will also tighten the skin and really refresh the eyes for people with "bags".
I’m not even a hair or makeup person but I just find you absolutely fascinating!
i love how you get straight to the point
Erin, you are simply fascinating! You pay such respect to the past, and by doing so, you enlighten and educate the present, and you do it brilliantly.
The algorithm recommended me a stunning lady wearing one of the best looks I've seen in a long time who's talking about super interesting stuff????? It's a lucky day!!!!
