HELLO MY BBs! I'm so sorry for the late night upload, I hope you guys enjoy this strange deep dive into the history of lipsticks! Who got a notif for this video? Love, Saf

[mrd]

As a history teacher I really appreciate how you are teaching history and making it accessible and interesting for such a huge audience who may think otherwise that history is boring!

[annalisap]

I *love* how Saf's lip color changes with what she is talking about

[davidpliego]

This needs to be a The history of.... and do different makeup/ fashion trends, for example.... blush/powders...bras/and clothing

[lemondee]

ive rewatched these history of videos so many times, as a history nerd, its so interesting to watch especially since Saf is the narator!! do more of these pretty please, perhaps with the history of jeans, or skincare, or piercings?

[HollieForrest]

It was so cool to see those vintage lipstick tubes, loved this! 😍😍😍

Mum: turn off your phone and come help me
Me: but mum i'm watching a documentary

Elizabeth I.: Thinks lipstick has health properties.
Also Elizabeth I.: Puts lead in her face.

If Saf was still in school and had to write an essay about lipstick she'd totally get an A+

[nattbeth]

History of period products!! That would be so interesting!!

[MaddieAnnn]

My favorite part about this video is that each time Safiya introduces a new time period of lipstick, her lipstick color changes! Great touch!💋💄

[roefane]

I would love some more “History of” videos in 2019, please! These are awesome!

MEAN GIRLS DRESSCODE FOR A WEEK PLEASEEE. (THIS WAS SOME OTHER GENIUSES IDEA NOT MINE)

[jennarenteria]

This is why I love Saf, she actually puts time and effort into her makeup videos rather than just give her opinion on a new lipstick she gives us the history of all lipsticks.

[djunaskye]

At first I thought this was gonna be boring but then I watched the whole thing and really enjoyed it. I love educational/history videos like this!

[charlottepomerantz]

Fun fact in the forties lipstick was considered patriotic because hitler hated lipstick

[kmaayla]

It is clear that safiya puts a lot of time and research into all of her videos, and I love that

[maddiecat]

I love how well-researched Safiya's videos are 👌

[dabhowlter]

I love how saf literally goes out of her way to look this stuff up for us and presents it in a way that I acc want to listen. Much appreciated Saf 😊❤️

Saph: The 30s and 40s brought the great depression and world war II. But that didnt stop lipstick sales.
Woman at the time: I'm sad but I still gotta look fabulous😗
