Women's Strict Beauty Routines in The 1950's

What Is So Special About This Film?

What is so special about it is the aesthetic this woman put into this video. She has such a cheery and fun voice that lights up the room.

This woman has the dressing style down for this 1950's style video about beauty routines and how she does not talk bad about it either.

Some people in their videos they have some terrible things to say about the 50's while they are making a video about this time period.

She thinks of doing this routine during the week to give yourself some self-care and be gentle with your skin and body.

The 50's themed music in this film makes it even more calming and has a relaxing vibe to it. She reminds me of my grandma who was born in the 1950's era and brings back some good memories.

I definitely would recommend watching this video as she has some great tips and tricks to put in your modern or 50's beauty routine that you have. It works for both!

What Happens In This 50's Video?

A woman commentator/Youtuber is in the bathroom and she starts with washing her face using 1950's products and she explains how it does not make her skin breakout either.

She washes up and uses some cotton pads along with a towel during this beauty routine. She has her hair up in a scarf/hair holder to make sure her hair does not interfere in her face.

This Youtuber uses a mud mask cream. What I loved about this is that she has a 50's themed bathroom that goes well with this video. I just had to point that out.

She goes onto massage her face and squish her cheeks upward to make her skin tighter as women did in this era. Afterwards she goes onto wear make up and to apply it so that it looks natural.

Then talks about making her powderpuff is clean and ready to use. As you know many of the woman even though they stayed home for many hours of the day they put on makeup and got dressed in day clothes at home.

This is what is surprising as far as I know many people are mostly in their comfy pajamas as soon as they get home or prefer to be comfortable at home at all times.

1950's Western Women Hairstyles

I would say that women in the 1950’s had good hairstyles. You mostly see women with short hair than long. Do not get me wrong I have seen women with long hair, but it was rare since the trend at that time was to have short hair that was curly. I am a full supporter with women with dark brown hair with curls. I do like that they did not think of women with short hair as portraying too close to be looking like men or that they were copying their hairstyle. It is not a competition at all. All genders can choose to have their short or long if they wish too. Society did have the image that women with short hair were housewives, medium for young, and long for Hollywood pin ups. Which I do not think that women should abide by these. I am fond of women having short hair so that there is less to do with it. I am personally one who likes to keep her hair short as I do not have patience for long hair. When going to salons in the 1950’s it was a lot easier to style or cut someone’s hair...

What Was Good About 1950's Cars?

I have to say that 1950’s cars look like they are from a whole different universe. What I love about these cars are the white streak around the front of each of the tires. You have many car brands such as the Packard, Mercury, Chevrolet Corvette, Hudson, Ford Thunderbird, Chevrolet Bel Air, Chrysler Imperial, Chrysler New Yorker, Buick Skylar, and more! I personally have to say the Chevrolet Bel Air is my favorite looks wise. Many people who had cars in this era were more towards those with some wealth. I noticed that a lot of the percentage of people walked, biked, or took the bus to wherever they were going. Not everyone in the 1950’s had a car but those who did had some money. Lots of these cars were geared towards couples who had children as well. The cars back in this time period came in many colors, which I love! Today many people have bland colors on their cars. Which are their preference but cars with unique or cool colors really stand out. When looking through pictures of...

The Story of Hilliard Brooks Jr's Murder

In 1950 on August 13, a 22-year old man named Hilliard Brooks Jr. was murdered on a bus after he was accused of making a disturbance. Back in these days what was the disturbance, was he talking back because he had to stick up for himself or was it because he was protecting someone else? Some reports were very unjust and plain unfair in my opinion. The reason he was accused of this was because be refused to leave and enter from the rear bus as Jim Crow wanted him to. This bus driver called the police and a white officer shot this black man and wounded two people in the process. All because Jim Crow and the bus driver were trying to be big bosses and choose violence when they woke up that day. Brooks left behind a pregnant wife and several young children. Even though many eye witnesses reported that the shooting was unnecessary, the officer faced no charges. After this many people were outraged over how this all went down and set the stage for the...
