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.

Bad Boys in the 1950s

These type of men/teens were the most idolized people in the 1950's along with some celebrities.  One celebrity in particular that had the bad boy style and his name was James Dean.  This type of outfit melted the girls/women's hearts at the time. Males would wear a leather or denim jackets, white or patter button up top underneath, blue or light jeans, either a quiff hair or leave it natural with some gel in it.  I think of the outfits that Johnny Depp would wear in his Crybaby movie with his slicked back hair, leather jacket, and a rebellious but hot vibe.  Today we label these type of people as bad boys but back in the 1950's they were called the greasers and apart of the greaser subculture.  Looking back at these photos you never saw older men wearing this style, it was mostly teenagers and young adults.  Those who dressed this way were definitely very popular in high school. Let's also not forget they added a cigarettes to compliment the look. If any o...

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...

Blue and Red Word Search Book

This is an awesome booklet for those who love the 50’s! It has many pages to keep your brain busy by searching for words with just your eyes. I noticed that is has yellow wording and an arrow indicating to open the book. The front page has labeled the 1950’s on it and the author has made sure to put their name on it. At the top right corner of the red/yellow square you see a star shape. My sister loves to do crossword puzzles and she has a collection of them in her closet. It reminds me of seeing her use them at her doctor’s visits.
