Time travel experience for vintage beauty enthusiasts.
Embrace your glasses as a unique accessory: Don't hide behind your glasses - use them as a statement piece and rock them with confidence! Just like Dorothy Malone in The Big Sleep, you can be memorably chic while wearing glasses.
* Here are a few more vintage makeup and beauty tips for modern girls who wear glasses:
1.Choose the right frame for your face shape and skin tone. For example, if you have a round face, try frames that are more rectangular or square to balance out your features. If you have fair skin, opt for frames in light colors, such as pastels or silver.
2.Don't be afraid to experiment with makeup. Even if you wear glasses, you can still play up your eyes with mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. Just be sure to choose products that are hypoallergenic and gentle on the delicate skin around your eyes.Try using a cat eye or winged eyeliner to draw attention to your eyes.Use a light, shimmery eyeshadow to highlight your eyes and make them stand out behind your glasses.
3.Pay attention to your hair. If you have long hair, consider tying it back or styling it in a way that doesn't obscure your glasses. If you have short hair, try a pixie cut or a bob to show off your glasses and frame your face.For longer haired girls, choose a hairstyle that complements your glasses, such as a soft, wavy updo or a sleek ponytail.
4.Embrace your unique style. Whether you prefer a retro or a more modern look, there are endless ways to make your glasses a stylish and integral part of your overall aesthetic.
5.Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're unsure about which frames or makeup will look best on you, don't be afraid to ask for advice from friends, family, or a stylist. They can offer valuable insight and help you find the perfect look.
Overall, the key is to embrace your eye glasses as a unique accessory. Have fun experimenting with different vintage hairstyles and makeup looks that suit your personal style and face shape.

"Still don't like your old specs Mary? Neither do we. Take them off!" The audacity! XD
😆
laughed out loud at that lmao
Hahah that was the best line !
Generation have passed lmao
...yeah, Mary...better to just walk around nearsighted...at least you'll look attractive. 😄
‘Now she’s gone and ruined everything’ as soon as she puts her glasses on 💀 💀
We do be living in a society
I HOWLED!! 😂😂
Gotta make those sales
Well, no...he meant she ruined her look by putting on the wrong TYPE of glasses for her face, as he clearly explains in the subsequent lines.
She's half-blind!? Yowzah. Hubba hubba. Hot dam. What a dame!
"informal day wear" already ten times more formal than anything we wear today
Try 1000X more!!!!.....
Yes xD
They'd be absolutely horrified to learn I spend most of my time in sweatpants and a hoodie. Not only is it extremely informal, I'm cross dressing. lol
Edit: No, you guys, I mean I'm literally in men's clothes, not that they didn't wear pants back then. lmao
@wareforcoin5780 Wait did girls not wear pants during this time??
@@Imokayluv unless they were farmers, probably not. They wore playsuits if they were performing or something, or doing sports (but like not where men were around, mostly with other girls) i can't imagine the everyday where back then tho...
Let’s switch the wrong glasses with the wrong faces. Proceeds to create Velma from Scooby Doo 😂 😂😂
Kkkkkkkk
wow twenty years ahead of its time 😂 😂😂
That was my first thought, too. 😄
*Phhhhhh* lol
That’s exactly what they did. 😆😆
The GLAMOUR of the very beginning with her fluffy shoes and draping robe and big vanity, the vibe
So sexy, wish I had such a girlfriend. Vintage = sexy :D
I'd kill for that vanity, despite having an antique one I'm deeply proud of.
@@LadyGreyBlack It looks like you can’t fit your legs under the table so you’d need to strain to lean into the mirror to see anything in detail. Meh :D
@@Liusila tbf you could just get a shorter stool to sit on
And then she went and ruined it by being able to see it! 😂
warning: once you get glasses perfectly suited for your face, you might feel a bit deformed when you switch to contact lenses (speaking from personal experience 😔)
A lesser talked about point of wearing glasses is, just like they distort everything the wearer sees through the lense, they also distort everything everyone else sees through the lense . So they have a magnifying or minimizing effect on your eye region depending on if you’re near/ far sighted and can distort your features to give the appearance of having bigger or smaller eyes and in doing so affect the balance of your facial proportions . So with glasses on My features look perfectly balanced but with contacts my face looks a bit deformed and it’s the most annoying thing !
Absolutely 😂
My glasses are oversized which helps balance out how wide my cheekbones are so when I don't wear glasses I do more with hair and jewelry to compensate
I'd love to know how you got glasses suited for your face? I wear contacts atm, my glasses mostly at home but I want to start wearing glasses more, I just feel like the ones I choose dont fit my face !
@@jenniiiie Try glasses on at the optician's office or an eyeglass shop.
"Aw, now she's gone and ruined everything" 🤣 I literally laughed out loud
As a lifelong glasses wearer, I didn't mind the glasses so much as the way the strong correction shrunk my eyes, and made the glasses heavy. Now at 65, my cataract surgery improved my sight, so my correction will be slight, and the glasses will not be as heavy either. That was a fun bit of nostalgia. I think my mom would have enjoyed seeing it.
I’m 17 and same, the only reason I hate my glasses is because of how small they make my eyes look. But hopefully I’ll get lasik this year :)
Aw this is so sweet! Thank you for sharing!
@@bonecag3 you should do some extra research on Lasik surgery because I know there have been some things in the news in the last year and even the last week and day about it. I know people that have had it though and it did help them but I think everyone should be aware of all benefits or risks and sometimes doctors aren't always good at explaining all of them so sometimes you gotta do your own extensive research to ensure this is the right choice for you. If you type Lasik into Google and hit the news tab it will all come up. I get the desire to have it, it's a nice thought to think you won't have to wear glasses and can see well but I just want you to have all the information before you decide if it's the right choice for you. How bad is your vision now?
@@xbrandi12345x
Yeah I get it, I’ve read about some of the complications and I’ll admit it’s a little scary. I have pretty bad vision right now, idk my prescription number but I’m nearsighted with astigmatism and my lenses are moderately thick. The main reason I decided to do it is bc my dad and some of his brothers got it done and it helped them. But the risks still make me nervous :/
@@bonecag3 My optometrist tells me to wait till my mid twenties to get lasik, he said that that age is when your prescription stops changing, so maybe consider waiting a bit. I’m 19 rn and my prescription changed heavily from when I was 17.
Mary’s “informal daywear” is the most formal I’ve ever seen anyone dress up
i find that diagram showing the right hairstyles for specific face shapes really interesting! it seems that those standards have shifted pretty tremendously; people usually consider short hair less flattering on wider faces, and the opposite for thinner faces. it really goes to show that what's flattering and what's not isn't universal and can vary by time and place.
I've always loved the 40's and 50's looks women had. As a makeup artist myself, I have seen how the sciences put together to frame a woman's face with makeup and hair still applies today. In fact, I have seen several other makeup artists talk about it as well. That a lot of the concepts they used during those eras still work well for today's ladies. Anyone who wants to learn basics can watch a lot of these older videos and it does help start you off. I do believe from what I've seen you can still get some of the books they made today. But aside from all of that I just want to thank you for your hard work. It is beautiful to watch these videos you post in a higher quality. Most of the ones with more of a tutorial I've watched with the original quality. So it's so nice to see it like this and in more detail.
i agree. trends may come and go, but beauty will always be timeless!
On that note your profile pic is very pretty! Not a fa of heavy makeup but you did a really good job and I can see why you're a professional makeup artist!
@@itsshrimpinabag9544 thank you for the compliment, I appreciate it.
As a makeup artist what are a few makeup brands you would NEVER use and why?
Personally I think the science here just made it worse, at least in the demonstrative illustrations. They just applied binary logic like: "round face = this way" vs "long face = opposite way".
They spout easy-to-grasp nonsense to seem more credible and better sell products.
This "science" is pretty bogus, as it is all subjective and what is considered beautiful or visually correct is 'almost' wholly culturally influenced.
I remember asking if I would look good in contacts once. My friend said "Take your glasses off." and when I did she went ".....put em back on" 🤣
🤣 my friend asked and then told me i was very ugly 😂
It’s because when you took off your glasses you ruined everything !
@@Nijilove78 that person isn't your friend lol
I do like the whole feeling of this video. “I won’t sugarcoat it, those glasses just don’t flatter your features. That doesn’t mean others won’t, let me help”
"Let's go to beauty headquarters"
[cut to Paramount studios]
that is SLAYING me for some reason
1:52 When they swapped glasses and styles it looked better and more modern! Funny how what was wrong then would be in style now 🤣
In my opinion, the short hair and circled glasses combo looked cute with both face types and I think Mary looks cuter with circle framed glasses she should've tried silver or black frames rather than gold.
yeah when they swapped the styles in the drawing to show off how disastrous it would look...they looked perfectly fine! all i see are four very lovely silhouettes.
prescriptive beauty standards are nonsense.
@@58209 fr they all looked cute
No. The longer faced one did not look good.
@@ASmith-jn7kf In my opinion, it did but everyone's different
The “correct” combos looked great immediately to me, but I had to adjust to the “wrong” combos for a moment, before my brain registered them as a cartoon.
I never understood that trope of "female character putting on eyewear out of the blue for shock value" I know there are a lot of people who only need glasses for certain occasions but how did she manage to be casually sitting straight 1 foot away from the mirror without squinting, if I ever do my makeup I have to literally touch said mirror with my nose to have a clue on what my face looks like
I think it depends if you're long sighted or short sighted. For example my mum does her makeup without her glasses but can't sew without them :o Or I know a lot of older folks who can do most things without their glasses but need them for reading. Whereas for me I need mine for everything lol. But yeah there are different types of poor eyesight from what I understand :) (I am wearing contact lenses right now!)
You must be pretty short-sighted then. I'm not quite that bad and can see most details about 10 inches away. Anything beyond that is just working from memory and practice and hoping to not stab my waterline with my liner and mascara.
When you are short sighted but lightly, you see just fine from that far away. My dad is long sighted and the doctors found out only because they gave him a piece of paper, he had always passed all the letter board tests perfectly.
I can't even do eyeliner bc when I close my bad eye everything goes blurry 😂😂
Yeah, one of the many reasons I don't use much make-up is how close I have to be to apply it. Hehe
Man woke up, saw her glasses, and chose violence.
When he switched the round and long face drawings, they still looked really pretty both ways lol
The beauty of symmetry.
The switched ones looked awful, LOL! People these days are just so dumpy that we're used to it.
Well there nothing really wrong about style, it's just that it is favored in our current beauty standards to strike a balance in our features (in this example the "better version balanced out the roundness/longness of the face while the switched enhance the roundness shortness or the longness of the face, my english sucks), but if you want to enhance your current features you could do the switched version fashion/beauty/ is really another kind of art that's fun to playwith.
@@KFrost-fx7dt speak for urself
@@KFrost-fx7dt how can simple, undetailed pencil drawings of faces look 'dumpy'? It's not like they drew hobo clothes or saggy pants. You're too much.
The feathered house shoes she is wearing at the beginning are really fabulous.
Her new glasses looked exactly like the old ones that "ruined everything" 🤣
Glasses woman here and I need my glasses for working. This video is very useful!
When he switched the faces I actually liked it a lot better lol
Agreed
i'm literally the switched face on the left lol
nah
Lol same
I was literally just searching for the perfect glasses for my vintage vibe… thank you
Glasses-Lady here🙋♀️ nice to see this video
I wish there was such a short guides for us when we were growing. Maybe I wouldn't make so much mistakes with the trends and beauty standards
If we had such things, they'd be canceled for ToxIC beAUtY stAndArDs aNd miiSoGYNy
@@lvelylilies me too friend me too
It literally looked fine both ways 😂
I need Eddie Sims to take a look at my face, I need his advice. Not for glasses, but the whole fitting makeup thing.
Very VERY excited to see almost my EXACT pair of glasses on this long-faced model!! The “sport” pair is nearly identical to my own, a similar dark mottled/marbled plastic (though could those have been bone/shell? Not sure!) in the same flat-topped, large rounded lenses and an identical nose grip. Only thing different is that the arms of my glasses are metal. But from the front, I could be searing 40’s specs!! I didn’t do any research on vintage styles befire choosing them, but did choose them for my face shape and for matching my many 30s-50s outfits, so it is very validating to see my intuition be right (and that I managed to actually find frames that look like true vintage!!)!!!
I love vintage content like this it warms my heart.
She’s stunning with the glasses
2:15 that’s actually looks really good with the long face one though 😂
thank you for the uploads and helping to preserve beauty history! ❤
I love this! It's so wholesome! And it's beauty advice! You don't get anything like these nowadays! You just get "I'm prettier than you and that's that!"
And you have to love the honesty! ♥
That was actually a solid advice with s great explanation!! And shorter than any tutorial in RUclips! Thanks guys!!
no kidding!
Practical and to the point.
That dame could wear anything and still get anyone. Love 1940's hair-styles! Gosh.
Right?? Those hairstyles made every woman lovely! 🥰
She is stunningly beautiful!!!!....you would have to go the ends of the earth today to find a women this classy, feminine and glamorous.....its too bad that women dont understand (or remember) the incredible power they once had over men...slowly abandoned in the 1960's thru to the present sad world we have now in 2023...thank you feminist movement!!!
@@keithbrown8814 feminist movement was a movement of human rights. Why can't men and women both have rights? Why can't men and women both be treated like human beings?
@@keithbrown8814 too bad they couldn’t own their own bank accounts or credit cards then too ay? 🙄
@@keithbrown8814 If women in my city would wear what is seen in the video they would get alot of negative reactions cause they dont fit in. Fashion in general is so boring here ugh -,-
Beautiful video thank you !! 💖💖💖💖💖
the fact that I actually picked out my new pair of glasses based on this video out of curiosity and got told it looked better on me 💀💀
One thing i love about these beauty demo's, was almost all women owned vanity/dressing tables. Most were part of bedroom suites. I say bring them back!
Lmao! The shade 😂😂
Thank you for taking the time to do this. 🙏
"now she's gone and ruined everything." I came to be roasted, and I got that😂
Loving the slide whistle sound effects
I understand that makeup, hair, clothing, etc has a theory that certain shapes and lines and shades achieve different looks, but I have a problem with the mindset that one way is “correct.”
Love watching this!
The problem isn’t just in the shape of the glasses, it’s also in the lenses. I used to look normal with my glasses until I had a stronger correction and even tho, the shape of the glasses suit me perfectly, the lenses make my eyes look waaay smaller.
When I tried contacts for the first time after wearing glasses for years, I was surprised at how much my eyes looked big.
first time i switched to contacts, i was getting loads of comments about how huge my eyes looked. i was too nearsighted to see my own reflection without glasses, so it was very strange seeing my face for the first time with my eyes nearly 50% larger. i felt like a cartoon character.
just as well that i preferred my appearance with glasses--tiny eyes and all--because i didn't care for how finicky contact lenses are.
@@58209 Exactly, I'm also short sighted, I can't even apply makeup if I'm not standing 10 cm from a mirror.
Seeing myself clearly without glasses was something I wasn't able to do since I was a little girl.
It felt like my eyes were too big for my face.
And I agree, contact lenses definitely require a lot of attention and management.
It's way easier to just put glasses on then wearing contacts, cleaning them everytime you open their case...
The informal day wear actually looks really good!
I love this videos
I love the looks when the drawings swapped faces lol
Wow love the video .
I was surprised to see that I look like the drawing on the left with the short, high hair. I wear glasses and , according to this, I got it all right :)
Fascinating... cheers
Great straightforward video
„Fitting right into the pretty picture that's Mary's face” loved how he said that. ^^
When they swapped to the "wrong" face combinations they just made the character design better and more visually interesting
I wish this was a longer video, where did this clip come from?? Whoever restored this did a fantastic job!
lovely
"not to play in pictures. But for poor eyesight."
Thank you for the clairification Mr.Narrator!
Omg a new one!!!! 😍😍😍
Ok regardless of how he carried it he did make valid points.
Especially with the linage on different face shapes.
WOW such a simple worldview!
The "wrong" shapes and glasses looked completely fine.
This is very useful because I wear reading glasses
It's so funny that the switched version makes the faces look modern
Makes sense that they aren’t telling people that it’s the glasses that is wrong, but rather the shape of them on certain faces.
As a woman with glasses, this is actually pretty helpful for me. Now it makes sense why I liked so much a hairstyle but not anymore when I putted my glasses on. Damm I should look for a different form.
I’ve recently become a woman with glasses I never needed them before. Guess I’ve got a lot to learn 😂.
I actually love wearing glasses.
I really want Rachel Maksy to make a short parody of this video. I wonder if she has seen this?
Omg YES! I wasn't quite thinking exactly this already, but whatever similarish thought I was thinking just before seeing your comment wanted to be exactly this idea when it grew up, lol!
I'd love to see it as a collab, with Karolina Zebrowska appearing for them to make the two face shapes 😂
They would make the perfect examples of both face types! The collaboration would be amazing!
I like her "old specs" the best tbh
It was a long way until the Ray-bans and cat-eye glasses of the next decade. It really took beauty science to determine what glass shape would suit this.
i love wearing glasses! they never bother me
The slide whistle!! 🤣🤣
The thumbnail of this vid is so pretty
it’s really interesting to see the 1940s in color, i always see it in black and white so seeing it in color seems to change my perspective a bit
The model in this is so beautiful
That was adorable.
So this is where all the 2000's teen movies got the idea that putting on glasses makes you hideous but as soon as you take them off your suddenly hot.
Oh, the luxury of owning multiple pairs of glasses.
I always loved the 40's & 50's looks and styles. Vintage style clothes are expensive though. XD
idk why but when the style switched face shape it looks even better lol
1:52 I have round face and have to wear glasses cause I can’t stand contacts. Low and behold that’s my favorite glass shape. Not so sure about the nose bridge, but I definitely prefer rounder glasses shaped exactly like that. Can’t believe this!
Ok but that last scene…it’s an improvement!!
I wear glasses and that was good advice!
The vintage is so fantastic
Ah, so this is why my grandma is always overjoyed when she sees girl with glasses on the tv.
I love how women in the 1940s only had a round face and long face shapes
0:19 those shoes 😍
i wear glasses!!!this video is very entertaining to watch,haha👓👀
Honestly I always have a hard time picking out glasses for my face shape so this was kind of helpful 😅
Loveliness Laboratories ❤
It was funny to watch.
Never have I ever thought that I ruin anything in my look when I wake up in the morning and put my eyeglasses on.
Thanks to improved technologies, we have many different shapes of eyewear nowadays.
When it switched, the one on the left looked eerily like me, minus the lips. My lips are slightly fuller than that, but they're also smaller.
Dang, narrator man woke up that day and chose violence! 😂
This is so cute
@Jasmin thank you so much 🤍😊
This advice is not incorrect. All they missed was the cat's eye glasses. Imo, they can help many face shapes.
the woman in the chair is so damn beautiful
It's so funny how subjective fashion can be. Lots of people in the comments thought the hair/glass/lip combo looked better after the switch, or both looked good. Personally I just liked the short hair/round glasses/pouty lips better in general. Overall, hilarious clip. Good fun.
Marry puts on glasses
"Aw, now she's gone and ruined everything!"
LOL I can't.
You think Mary Jones will look around and say, "why is there a disembodied judgmental man's voice in my bedroom?"
I like having a round face.
