- I'm jazzed about this Jazz Era makeup.
- Okay, first of all, what is this accent?
- It's a transatlantic accent.
We are 1920s actresses.
I'm not gonna be able to keep it up.
Just let me have it for the pre-interviews.
(Jazz music)
- We're trying 1920s makeup.
- And we are also going to be living
like we're in the 1920s.
Devon, well, you know what.
- I walked in, and I said oh, shit,
I didn't know we were supposed to bring wardrobe.
And Saf says, "We weren't."
(laughter)
- I love this look, would wear this look.
- Very thin brows.
- Yeah, sort of like the thin, equal thickness brow.
- I feel like she might suffer from RBF, as do I.
RBF is resting bitch face.
I'm not mad, it's just my face.
- She's got a very sort of pronounced Cupid's bow.
It's kind of like bump, bump.
- I don't have a Cupid's bow,
just like I don't have eyelids.
- You are wrong.
They may not be this shape,
but you have them.
- This is my Cupid's bow.
- I'm done with you.
- Before looking at these lovely photos,
I didn't really know much about 1920s makeup trends.
- To think that back in the 1920s,
before animals existed, but they had makeup?
What are the odds?
What is this?
This is so cool.
- It should be called a mascara chocolate,
cause that's what it looks like.
- Looks like a block of charcoal with which
you used to brush your teeth
back in the olden days.
- You are just a history fact machine today, aren't you?
- I'm here.
So, I'm gonna take my brush, dip it in the water,
and then scrape it against this little cake.
- Wait, how am I already making a mess?
- The problem is just that you
have to dip it in water first,
and so it's like watercolor paint, you know?
The little paint-by-numbers things.
- You definitely have to find a balance between
the right amount of water.
- Cause it's so watery,
and it's just separating my lashes
and making them a little bit darker.
And I think this is my favorite mascara
I've ever tried in my whole life.
- Talked a lot of crap about 37 seconds ago,
but now, I think I'm in.
- It's so lightweight and dainty and pretty.
- This is a modern brow pencil.
I'm gonna use it, though,
to try and emulate the not-so-modern,
very thin brow look.
- Listen, I'm pretty far down this rabbit hole
of being in-character already.
So I'm gonna use my real new-timey concealer,
and try and carve out some brows,
even though I'm not very good at this part.
- Yeah, but this doesn't look good at all.
- You've got the look, Jen.
- I'm got the look!
- Translucent blush.
- Translucent?
Excuse you.
- That's interesting.
This looks like a sun dial.
- See, please twist to open.
I didn't say anything Freddie, don't look at me.
- It's like a clue that you would find in National Treasure.
They're like, "With this key..."
- Oh, wow, it's very fallout-y.
- Lot of fallout.
That's a Fall Out Boy.
- Okay, shall we?
- Aww!
Aww!
(whining)
- We also do children's birthday parties,
graduations, retirement parties, anything.
- [Freddie] Okay, so this is the thing.
- [Saf] Yeah.
- I want you to wear this color.
- Why?
- I want you to venture into a bright red.
- Whenever it's a fresh lipstick,
don't you just wanna bite it off, though?
- Yeah.
- Whoa.
Did Jen do that?
- Did Jen do this to this one?
Jen!
- You wanna get the most coverage as possible,
so you do really wide strokes.
- So, I don't have a Cupid's bow,
so I'll just be drawing on a Cupid's bow.
- You have a Cupid's bow, Freddie.
Hush, Devon.
- I'm really going for that whole
Jynx the Pokemon look.
- I think you did it.
- I think that if I was able to do my normal cat eye,
I would like this red lipstick.
It's kind of like soft, pink, skinny eyebrow, red lip.
- I think one thing that they haven't changed
is just that they still gotta be perfect, you know?
Like, her pictures and her headshots,
her makeup was perfect, much like Aunt Peggy here.
- I'm pretty surprised about how easy
some of these things were to use.
Like, I was anticipating this lump of coal
to be difficult to make into mascara or eyeliner,
but it was actually pretty simple.
- I think I did an amazing job here.
I think that Gloria Swanson
would've been entirely forgotten
once I made my way onto that screen.
- I feel like we're about to go to a murder mystery party,
- That's fun. - [Saf] And it's super fun.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a very fun thing that we're doing.
Would I, in earnest, walk around like this?
Probably not.
- No. - [Saf] But, you know,
it wouldn't be the worst thing I've ever done.
- Aunt Peggy's self-esteem is through the roof right now.
- I have so many gentleman callers,
and I do not have any polio,
if you can believe that in this day and age.
Lots of gentleman callers, no polio.
