Episode 68 - Keeping up appearances: Exploring the history of makeup

This week we’re joined by fashion historian Amber Butchart and makeup artist Rebecca Butterworth to discuss the history of makeup and their experiences as the presenters of our popular series of makeup tutorials on YouTube, which explain how to get iconic looks through the ages, from Roman times to the 1940s.

Listen on to discover how cosmetics have evolved over time, what they discovered making the series and their favourite historic look to recreate at home.
