Join Fashion Historian Amber Butchart and Makeup Artist Rebecca Butterworth as we show you how to create not one, but two, history-inspired makeup looks in this tutorial.

We’re taking you back to the late 18th century, where our models, Ashleigh Murray and Stuart Blakley, transform into aristocratic Georgians at Kenwood in north London. Discover what mens’ and womens’ makeup can reveal about society at the time, and let us know if you think you’d suit the Georgian look.

Our English Heritage Collections Curator for Kenwood, Dr Esmé Whittaker, also speaks to Amber about the history of Kenwood and the story of the people who lived there during this time.
