Watch how beauty in Ireland changed over 100 years

The WatchCut YouTube channel have had a good bit of success with their ’100 Years in Beauty’ series.

If you haven’t seen them, the videos look at how beauty and fashion are a reflection of what’s happening in the country at that time - and how things change.

They’ve covered countries like the US and Iran - and we must say, we were excited to see that it was Ireland’s turn.

The video starts off in the 1910s with a shot of the model wearing a suitably hat but as we enter the 1920s, the screen splits to show two different styles - one for Northern Ireland and one for the Republic.

Which is an interesting idea but we’re not sure about some of the looks that follow. Some are a bit glammer than the reality which is understandable but it’s the 1970s look that is attracting the most controversy.

Now, of course, they have to simplify things to fit into a quick video but, guns as fashion accessories? A risky choice.

What we can all agree on is that the eighties were kind to no one.
