1920s is definitely not right. Eyeshadow was applied like a half moon shape on your top eye, not like a cat wing thing. It followed the shape of your eye socket. You can look at literally any picture of a famous female celebrity and see it. The colours everyday people wore definitely weren't that dark, either. A lot of the darkness comes from black and white photos and getting a good contrast. I don't know if all of my comment is correct, but I love makeup history so I have researched this a fair amount. Edit: eyeshadow should match eye colour in the 40s and 50s definitely, probably 30s as well. That seems to have been way more common than matching to clothes from what I've found. So a light blue sweep for blue eyes, a light green for green eyes, and then usually purple or brown for brown eyes, but they didn't always stick to that.

You should start doing a separate look for 2010s and now. We're basically in 2020. 2010s should have been instagram glam makeup looks rather than gloss. Gloss on eyelids is a trend that hasn't even started yet. Not trying to be negative here, just constructive. I watch all your 100 years videos and love them but I often see that 2010s is just an excuse to talk about trends rather than what has actually been popular in the past decade.

As a make up artist I find these 100 years of eyeshadow or lipstick or whatever they are covering to be inaccurate and badly researched. In particular the earlier periods. Wouldnt it be great to have the model with an accurate appropriate hairstyle, correct eyebrow shape and correct make up for the period and then the artist just adds the eyeshadow, thus giving the total look. Just suggesting.

The makeup artist and whomever directed the historical accuracy SUCK. The 1940s look was a joke, not even close to the accurate look of the period. These Allure 100 years of videos have become terrible.

I love the series but the actual makeup sucks, everything is a mess especially the 2010s that deserve a video by itself Looks are changing rapidly in this era and this video is not cutting it

I think these are all very true, except for the 2010s. what in the hell is eye gloss? And that might be used in fashion on runways, but that's really not what the everyday person does.

You completely missed the entire eyelid eyeliner of the 20's. And the face on the 80's girl. her jawline is so broad and her face is so geometric. it's aesthetic

the 60s was so very wrong. blues, greens, and purples were popular, but they were pastel and made the eye into a round shape, not super dark and smeared all over the lid
