Roman Makeup Tutorial | History Inspired | Feat. Amber Butchart and Rebe...

Discover how cosmetics from the Roman Empire literally changed the face of Britain in the 3rd century in our latest History Inspired Makeup Tutorial. Fashion Historian Amber Butchart and Makeup Artist Rebecca Butterworth are at Wroxeter Roman City, near Shrewsbury in Shropshire. This time we’re showing you a step-by-step makeup tutorial inspired by real cosmetic artefacts found at Wroxeter. From bathing to bright blue eye shadow, find out how important appearance was to Roman Britons and see the artefacts that shaped our tutorial. Watch as we use a replica grinder to apply eyeliner to our model Sarah Mhlanga and learn how to recreate the look at home. Our English Heritage Collections Curator Cameron Moffett is on hand to discuss the artefacts, while Properties Historian Dr Andrew Roberts tells us about life at Wroxeter.
