Pretty in Glasses: 1940s Tutorial in Amazing 4K Color
How to be pretty or even glamorous with glasses! Hollywood makeup artist Eddie Senz advises on how to choose the correct frames for the two fundamental face types: the round face and the long face. Also what hairstyle and makeup to wear and what type of eyeglass frames to select. Original 1940s film now AI restored in color and 4k 60 fps resolution. Time travel experience for vintage beauty enthusiasts.
Embrace your glasses as a unique accessory: Don't hide behind your glasses - use them as a statement piece and rock them with confidence! Just like Dorothy Malone in The Big Sleep, you can be memorably chic while wearing glasses.
* Here are a few more vintage makeup and beauty tips for modern girls who wear glasses:
1.Choose the right frame for your face shape and skin tone. For example, if you have a round face, try frames that are more rectangular or square to balance out your features. If you have fair skin, opt for frames in light colors, such as pastels or silver.
2.Don't be afraid to experiment with makeup. Even if you wear glasses, you can still play up your eyes with mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow. Just be sure to choose products that are hypoallergenic and gentle on the delicate skin around your eyes.Try using a cat eye or winged eyeliner to draw attention to your eyes.Use a light, shimmery eyeshadow to highlight your eyes and make them stand out behind your glasses.
3.Pay attention to your hair. If you have long hair, consider tying it back or styling it in a way that doesn't obscure your glasses. If you have short hair, try a pixie cut or a bob to show off your glasses and frame your face.For longer haired girls, choose a hairstyle that complements your glasses, such as a soft, wavy updo or a sleek ponytail.
4.Embrace your unique style. Whether you prefer a retro or a more modern look, there are endless ways to make your glasses a stylish and integral part of your overall aesthetic.
5.Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're unsure about which frames or makeup will look best on you, don't be afraid to ask for advice from friends, family, or a stylist. They can offer valuable insight and help you find the perfect look.
Overall, the key is to embrace your eye glasses as a unique accessory. Have fun experimenting with different vintage hairstyles and makeup looks that suit your personal style and face shape.

A lesser talked about point of wearing glasses is, just like they distort everything the wearer sees through the lense, they also distort everything everyone else sees through the lense . So they have a magnifying or minimizing effect on your eye region depending on if you’re near/ far sighted and can distort your features to give the appearance of having bigger or smaller eyes and in doing so affect the balance of your facial proportions . So with glasses on My features look perfectly balanced but with contacts my face looks a bit deformed and it’s the most annoying thing !

I've always loved the 40's and 50's looks women had. As a makeup artist myself, I have seen how the sciences put together to frame a woman's face with makeup and hair still applies today. In fact, I have seen several other makeup artists talk about it as well. That a lot of the concepts they used during those eras still work well for today's ladies. Anyone who wants to learn basics can watch a lot of these older videos and it does help start you off. I do believe from what I've seen you can still get some of the books they made today. But aside from all of that I just want to thank you for your hard work. It is beautiful to watch these videos you post in a higher quality. Most of the ones with more of a tutorial I've watched with the original quality. So it's so nice to see it like this and in more detail.

Personally I think the science here just made it worse, at least in the demonstrative illustrations. They just applied binary logic like: "round face = this way" vs "long face = opposite way". They spout easy-to-grasp nonsense to seem more credible and better sell products. This "science" is pretty bogus, as it is all subjective and what is considered beautiful or visually correct is 'almost' wholly culturally influenced.
As a lifelong glasses wearer, I didn't mind the glasses so much as the way the strong correction shrunk my eyes, and made the glasses heavy. Now at 65, my cataract surgery improved my sight, so my correction will be slight, and the glasses will not be as heavy either. That was a fun bit of nostalgia. I think my mom would have enjoyed seeing it.

I know people that have had it though and it did help them but I think everyone should be aware of all benefits or risks and sometimes doctors aren't always good at explaining all of them so sometimes you gotta do your own extensive research to ensure this is the right choice for you. If you type Lasik into Google and hit the news tab it will all come up.

i find that diagram showing the right hairstyles for specific face shapes really interesting! it seems that those standards have shifted pretty tremendously; people usually consider short hair less flattering on wider faces, and the opposite for thinner faces. it really goes to show that what's flattering and what's not isn't universal and can vary by time and place.
I never understood that trope of "female character putting on eyewear out of the blue for shock value" I know there are a lot of people who only need glasses for certain occasions but how did she manage to be casually sitting straight 1 foot away from the mirror without squinting, if I ever do my makeup I have to literally touch said mirror with my nose to have a clue on what my face looks like

Well there nothing really wrong about style, it's just that it is favored in our current beauty standards to strike a balance in our features (in this example the "better version balanced out the roundness/longness of the face while the switched enhance the roundness shortness or the longness of the face, my english sucks), but if you want to enhance your current features you could do the switched version fashion/beauty/ is really another kind of art that's fun to playwith.

I was literally just searching for the perfect glasses for my vintage vibe… thank you
Very VERY excited to see almost my EXACT pair of glasses on this long-faced model!! The “sport” pair is nearly identical to my own, a similar dark mottled/marbled plastic (though could those have been bone/shell? Not sure!) in the same flat-topped, large rounded lenses and an identical nose grip. Only thing different is that the arms of my glasses are metal. But from the front, I could be searing 40’s specs!! I didn’t do any research on vintage styles befire choosing them, but did choose them for my face shape and for matching my many 30s-50s outfits, so it is very validating to see my intuition be right (and that I managed to actually find frames that look like true vintage!!)!!!
I love this! It's so wholesome! And it's beauty advice! You don't get anything like these nowadays! You just get "I'm prettier than you and that's that!" And you have to love the honesty! ♥

I understand that makeup, hair, clothing, etc has a theory that certain shapes and lines and shades achieve different looks, but I have a problem with the mindset that one way is “correct.”
You think Mary Jones will look around and say, "why is there a disembodied judgmental man's voice in my bedroom?"
So this is where all the 2000's teen movies got the idea that putting on glasses makes you hideous but as soon as you take them off your suddenly hot.
Loving the slide whistle sound effects
The problem isn’t just in the shape of the glasses, it’s also in the lenses. I used to look normal with my glasses until I had a stronger correction and even tho, the shape of the glasses suit me perfectly, the lenses make my eyes look waaay smaller. When I tried contacts for the first time after wearing glasses for years, I was surprised at how much my eyes looked big.
