Using Ancient Cosmetics to Create Modern Makeup (Do Not Try At Home!)

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Warning: DO NOT try this at home. Some of these pigments contain toxic ingredients. I do not recommend putting it on your skin. I'm just curious and crazy enough to try these on myself. I want to know what the pigment looked like, the opacity, the texture- and I'm willing to risk it to find out 😆
Let's see how modern-day makeup looks using Ancient Makeup techniques.

    Having worked with some actual lead cadmium white gouache paint I can say that it definitely handles differently than a modern white gouache. If that stunning malachite is anything to work off of I'd guess the foundation would potentially be similar. The best description I have is it works the way that you wish a normal white paint would work. It has a soft almost luminous look when worked over other colors and evens out the tone underneath. If you want it to cover in one coat it will, but if you want it to lighten or blur an image underneath without shifting the hue too much it does so amazingly. Honestly I see why lead based paint was so popular every time I use it, but I also know how careful I have to be because every 'its just a little bit' will build up eventually.

    Just wanted to tell you, the paste with lead was also used for geisha in Japan. The lead turned the face slowly yellow, so the effect was quite heavy. I got this information from Lesley Downer; she wrote (aside from her historical novels) an informative book about geisha. The art of make-up there is also something you might want to look into. Great video again! (Edit: As you end the video with ‘barely scratched the surface’ you probably know about the geisha. 😂)

    As a geologist, I'm just screaming inside when I saw galena and malachite but you know, I know you're not using them regularly anyway, so I can just enjoy the pigmentation. 😂 (Believe me, I know they're that beautiful.) Anyway, warning on malachite, it's not just the dust. It's a copper carbonate which means it's soluble in water. And if there is enough dissolved copper, that could kill you. But again, you don't expose yourself to those elements on a regular basis anyway so you should be fine. (But if you must, check out Moscow's malachite bathtub. That's a coffin if I ever saw a fancy one.) :3 I need to edit... Because I just reached the ceruse lead foundation. 😂 Erin, you'd better not have cinnabar (vermillion) on your lips! 😭 Btw, if you are planning to get more raw ores in the future, if you can get your hands on an agate mortar and pestle, you should be able to get your particles finer than with a regular granite mortar and pestle. Agate is lab grade but it's 7 on the Mohs Hardness scale so it's reliable for getting them evenly sized.

    Charcoal is used in REACH approved tattoo inks as a black pigment and in eyeliners and mascaras, so it's (likely) very eye safe! As with the others, yikes you're brave. This is such good video though, thank you so much for sharing your passion!

    That beautiful colour of the malachite looks amazing on your eyes. I'm just so glad that you're doing this as a once off, due to the toxicity. Red ochre is abundant in Australia. It's been used for thousands of years, by the indigenous people here, as body paint for ceremonies, and also as paint for rock art. I think the court on your lips really pops, and I'm glad that the colour is available in modern lipsticks. You look absolutely amazing in this video, and can't wait for your next one!
