Product Information

Ironically, the two Wars had a liberating effect on lives of women. While WWI rendered on them an “obligatory” encouragement to “look good” using makeup - it was a patriotic act all of a sudden - the WWII gave women financial independence at large. London-based makeup artiste, Lisa Eldridge has added another shade to her palette of achievements with her first book, ‘Face Paint: The Story of Makeup’. The book contained many full-color photographs, including pictures of different products and historical ads. She also included many pictures of trend-setting women throughout history paired with short biographies. I'd recommend this book to people interested in trends in wearing makeup throughout history and how its use became so common in the last 120 years. I liked the glossy photos of vintage make-up (not the modern make-up looks which I find redundant). I liked her style of writing. I liked the theme. However I am unsatisfied with the 1,5 chapters out of 2. I do not think that makes a good ratio. Face Paint" is an overview of the use of makeup throughout history. The author mainly focused on the last 120 years, but she included a brief survey of the use of makeup throughout history in Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.

The Eldridge Technique is known to be Lisa's technique of making complexion appear flawless through makeup, while allowing the inner glow to shine through. I have just discovered another inimitable Eldridge Technique. The book is written in the same soft, often amused, always kind, voice that Lisa uses in her youtube instructional videos. A classic book from a classy lady. What I loved most were the photos of vintage makeup cases and such, I love the historical part of make up.Also, I felt the author made a huge error in not calling out racism by name in the section on why white as a cosmetics color and skin whitening specifically was in vogue for so long (and in some places continues to be). Instead she offers pseudo-scientific reasons for why (white) humans might have preferred pale skin on women. The book explores the reasons behind makeup’s use, the ingredients over generations; it is an engaging history of style, it is also a social history of women and the ways in which we can understand the lives of the gender from their reflections of made-up (or not made up) faces in the mirror. This is a great book on makeup history & to an extent, costume history. Eldridge did a great job researching & including examples of various forms & styles of makeup through the ages. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE This book. Did I say I loved this book? You may know of Lisa Eldridge for being a famous makeup artist to the stars or from her highly popular Youtube channel. Lisa is a very relatable makeup artist that shares her secrets on youtube without being stuffy. In the past makeup artists and Hollywood never revealed their secrets which were always held close to the vest. Lisa ropes that curtain down and shows us how it is done. Thank you Lisa for sharing your talents and insight with the everyday woman who don't have a makeup artist at their whim. Her love for makeup really comes through to the viewer. Which is just fabulous. Very informative book learned a lot of things I didn't know before. The problem with this book is that it's very west-centric. Makeup in ancient Egypt is described and we get a bit of info about makeup practices in Asia, east-Asia to be more specific but we don't get a complete overall picture of makeup and beauty perceptions in the overall world.

Red Princess Face Painting This was a very thorough look through the cosmetics empire, throughout several empires and ages! I feel that there was only one element missing in this story: cosmetics testing. It's an ugly business, and I feel that there should've been a mention on the cruelty free/animal testing furor that dominates that industry. A really fun, curated look at the history of makeup and the cosmetics. You can really see Eldridge’s love of makeup throughout the text and all the anecdotes she shares (and I’m sure there are many, many more she couldn’t fit in). With Lisa's book it is more about the history, culture, and marketing of how makeup came to be. I have been waiting for a book like this for years! Like I mentioned previously, I love 'how to books' on makeup, but I wanted to know how we came to wear our makeup, how it evolved, how we consumed it, why we wore it a certain way one decade and another way years later. Lisa breaks that down and the style icons we looked to that changed how we approached makeup each generation.
