Millie Bobbie Brown, for all her determination to dress like a 47-year-old rich woman who founded an MLM, does Not actually look old enough to pull off "marriageable age" with half-up hair. quite apart from the inaccuracy, or the idiocy of adventuring with your hair mostly down, girl looks 16 maximum. a woman getting engaged at 22 is accurate to the 1880s, but she would like. look 22. dress like an adult woman in her era. etc.

visible gel manicure

visible lip filler OR insanely overdrawn lips with modern nude/rose lipstick or lip gloss. the lips are just really distracting in a controllable, intentional way that has nothing to do with the actress' natural features

What interests me is that this was never a problem before.

Do you think a woman, even a rich woman in Antebellum south, would wear this make up?

Why Snow White, as a medieval German princess wears a 1930's bowb cut, and why this doesn't ruin immersion?

Do you think any woman in the Wild West would look like Marilyn Monroe?

Why a young man boarding the Titanic have the same haircut as a 90's hearthrob?

Hollywood has been using anachronisms and anachronistic beauty standards since it's very beginning.

And not saying it's bad for people to be aware of these things, I'm just curious about how something that never was a problem before suddenly is a huge problem now.

All period pieces no matter how accurate to the period they try to depict, carry anachronisms from when they were made in order to make a connection to current audiences and convey certain ideas. And film was always like that. But suddenly any hint of 2020's culture and aesthetics that appear in period films breaks immersion and makes people mad, and I wonder why?

I'm reminded of Christopher Nolan The Odyssey, and amid many awful choices, the fact that the characters use the word "dad" was what broke the camel's back for many? Like, serious guys, in an ocean of questionable choices THIS was what made you angry? You guys would certainly DESPISE Epic.

I have a theory that maybe it's social media. Social media makes us hyper aware of everything, so it's harder to willingly suspend your disbelief.

Another thing is that we use the cinema as escapism more than ever before, and modern audiences despise current culture, and are trying to escape from it as best as they can. The past itself became escapism, and audiences don't want anything to remind them of current times.

So what do you guys think? I would love to hear your thoughts about this, because it's something that amuses me a lot.

From now on, think about the ‘Instagrammable’ iPhone Face by doing the following exercise

Take Lily Collins as Snow White in Mirror Mirror and imagine her in the world of Snow White and the Huntsman

Swapping places with Kirsten Dunst

Imagine how out of place she would look

I know very little about make up especially in historical context but a laminated brow, heavy contour or glossy look can catch your eye when you know that’s wasn’t common or invented in the era. Somewhere in your brain you go ‘huh something seems off’

Makeup can completely change your face and so can hair. Like yeah a modern hairstyle will make the actress stick out like a sore thumb in a period drama. Hell there’s a lot of actors that have this issue bc people don’t consider that men’s haircuts are also different depending on the time period.
