I can’t guarantee that all of the make-up and skincare products I recommend will suit you. I only use products I personally think are good having tried them on myself and my clients but everyone's skin is different and it's possible to be allergic to anything. Wherever possible, test products out on yourself before purchasing.

I only feature products I like, or want to try. The products I use in these videos are either purchased by me or sent to me by make-up companies to use in my professional capacity as a make-up artist for fashion and celebrity photo shoots, red carpet etc. I am also sent products by many of the top magazines to judge for awards.

YOU SHOULD DO YOUR OWN MAKEUP BRAND AND HAVE VINTAGE PACKAGING LIKE THESE

[ahmazingluke]

I wish they still did packaging like this

[MalissaVieira]

Lisa, when are you going to start the Eldridge Museum of Beauty??

[ajjcarter]

Seeing all of these reminds me of childhood and rummaging through my grandmother's makeup and vintage costume jewelry. She had many different lipstick samples that I fell in love with. Too bad they no longer exist, she passed on and I almost like to think she took it all with her to heaven. They disappeared.

Vintage makeup always had the most beautiful packaging even the cheaper brands. How did we go from makeup that looked like this to cheap plastic cases that'll break if you drop it?

[TuberoseKisser]

they need to bring back these makeup cases, no more carrying around seperated lipstick, powder, eyeliner, etc

[rebeccawhite]

I'm totally fascinated by the history of makeup (among other things). What you say about powder in the 50s reminded me - this is when my mother was a young woman. I never knew her to use any makeup except powder, red lipstick and occasionally mascara. I figured, from her attitude and her simplicity, that she kept it simple because she considered it a waste of time and effort. You just do what you have to. She knew i loved makeup and she kind of tried to slow me down with that a little when I was spending all my money on it as a teenager. Near the end of her life though she told me that she loved makeup but just was never confident in her ability to use it. I never knew.

I absolutely love the designs of those compact cases they made in the 20s till the 50s. Absolutely gorgeous! 

[ahippy]

So nice seeing some of the makeup I still have being called retro or vintage I'm nearly 50 and I'm surprised how many young people find all these normal everyday go to powders as special. I love it in the 70s a lot of make up was made by miners and revlon and max factor they styled the compacts and pallets like purses or chocolate boxes or paint palettes to make lower quality powders look more glam, the purse compact she has is a bit more special but look in your mums or grandmother bedrooms and if they wore and collected glam make up you might find some products or containers like this lady has. The make up powder was very chalky and thick and the foundation and pan stick even thicker and their was a huge amount of bright blue eye shadow from 1967 to 1986 and how the models before 85 kholed there eyes is amazing. Old kohl and khajal sticks had very hard black liner in them you had to drag and push so hard to black your water line back then and I was using revlon Chanel Estée Lauder Nina Ricci and old style Rimmel . My aunt owned a chemist chain in north Ireland so I was extremely lucky and had a more extravagant makeup collection at ten than I do now lol

I've just re-watched i must say, what a beautifully pristine collection. I've said it before, but I'd love seeing more of your vintage makeup library. Perhaps you could do another 'favorites' video from your archive. I'm charmed by what an amazing historical and psychological reference this is. It's so telling of our culture and mindset. Thank you, Lisa

when I was a kid ..my mom used to buy me things to play with from Avon...and the packaging was gorgeous ..my dresser was filled with such pretty things, powder puffs etc ..I had an ice cream cone powder puff ...I loved it ...

[avrilfantasyrin]

Vintage makeup seems to have very excellent pigmentation compare to some of the makeup that is available now

[DrewTabor]

you look so genuinely happy talking about this stuff... it's a pleasure to watch :)

[pheart]

my compact plays the anniversary waltz when its opened. 1950s i think, melissa.

[LisaEldridge]

Yes you are probably right! Thanks for taking such an interest in my video! I love that I'm not the only geek for vintage make-up and history haha! X

Hello Lisa,
I just came across your collection of vintage makeup videos and I'm so happy I did! I love makeup and love history in general. To learn about the history of women and the evolution of makeup throughout the decades is fascinating! My husband and I own a barbershop in Chicago, Illinois called Funk's Barbershop. The barbershop doubles as a barber museum showcasing the history of barbering from the early 1800's to about the 1970's. The entire shop displays my husbands personal collection of vintage barber memorabilia. A hobby of ours is antique shopping, which has lead to the discovery of some very unique pieces related to barbering and cosmetology. One day my husband came home with a few treasures he had picked up for me. I was pleasantly surprised he had gotten me a vintage lipstick from the 50's and a very old silver compact from the victorian era. I proudly display my vintage makeup on my vanity but hadn't thought to begin a collection of sorts. This video has inspired me to not only learn more about the history of makeup, but to start searching for some interesting pieces to add to my collection. While my husband has his passion for vintage barbering I can share in my passion for vintage makeup. Thank you so much for sharing! I adore watching your makeup tutorials as well, keep up the good work!

This video is what launched my love of antique makeup so many years ago. I have an old Stratton compact just like the one Lisa showed at 6:40 as well as countless others. Thank you, Lisa, for igniting my love for history i can hold in my hand!

[emptyheart]

luxurious-looking packaging. they're all beautiful x

[lucimmv]

Lisa is such a pro! Sometimes it feels like these videos on vintage make up or the history of make up are some kind of documentary.

[RETROGEMS]

Those are rich colors. One thing I love about vintage makeup styles, was that they were not afraid of vibrant colors. I'm not exactly wild about the 'natural look' now, LOL. My favorite era for makeup style was the 1940s, personally. I had no idea authentic vintage makeup was being sold, how cool!
