It had to look wild in real life 😂 but the payout turned out lovely every time!

Kinda makes me think about the whole "Addams Family set being bright pink" thing - might be weird to think about, but translated so well to the black and white film!

Its like how the Addams family house was actually all pink 😂

Fascinating! If we saw makeup like this on screen (or in real life) today we would think it looked very unusual. I wonder if the actors of that time also thought it looked unusual, or if they were just so used to it that they didn't even think about the fact that they had green lips and contrasting eyeshadows.

I want to see what regular colors look like with a side by side comparison

The history of theatre/film makeup is so fascinating. The history of makeup in silent films has recently captivated me. Silent films have such a unique, underrated beauty. Thanks for sharing this bit of history!

I wish @YouTube would stop plastering everything on the viewing screen! It has gotten so absurd, we can only see a portion of what we should be able to see.

Great demonstration, and you're so beautiful!

That’s so interesting! I’ve never heard this before but it makes sense.

I think what I've read is that television cameras were distinctly different from film ones and so the green lipstick was a TV thing, not a movie thing.

edit: correcting spelling
