Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing Ava Gardner’s favorite beauty products. Ava Gardner was born on December 24, 1922, and passed away on January 25, 1990. She was an American actress and singer. Gardner was signed to a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in 1941 and appeared mainly in small roles until she drew attention with her performance in The Killers (1946). She was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in Mogambo(1953) and also received BAFTA Award and Golden Globe Award nominations for other films. Gardner appeared in several high-profile films from the 1940s to 1970s. Gardner continued to act regularly until 1986, four years before her death in London in 1990, at the age of 67. She is listed 25th among the American Film Institute’s 25 Greatest Female Stars of Classic Hollywood Cinema.

Don't forget to check out my new lipstick collection https://www.vintagedollcosmetics.com
I can't find Fracas nowhere in Greece. :/
I’d love it if you could do one of these vintage beauty products videos for Maria Callas (the Opera Diva/Fashion Queen of the 50’s and 60’s)
https://youtu.be/TYl8GRJGnBY
Thank you so much for your videos! Somehow they are so calming, which is something we all need right now🤗
And I'm so happy I discovered MaxFactor Creme Puff through you, one of the best powders I've ever used!
I love your channel! Maybe it's worth to make a movie about a fashion icon Diana Vreeland? 😀
Greetings from Poland! <3 <3 <3
Hey Laura! I’d love to see your own beauty routine and see what beauty secrets you have stolen from old hollywood actresses!
I love your vintage Hollywood star makeup videos. Could you do one on Jane Wyman? My mom was always told she looked like Jane Wyman, and I've always been told I look like my mom. I need makeup tips that will work for my features, as I'm now working from home and have to worry about looking good on Zoom (ugh!!). Jane Wyman won an Oscar for the movie "Johnny Belinda" in 1948.
Hi Laura. Love your videos. So interesting,could you have one of Debbie Reynolds.. Thanks
Laura.
Can you do one on Jane Birken?
Hi laura! Have you done Catherine's deneuve yet? If not I would love it! Thank you. I love your channel.
Please please do the beautiful Anita Ekberg
My favorite Old Hollywood actress !!! You got pretty much most of that right. If you're curious her family has told me that JOY by Jean Patou was her favorite perfume. Also they said one of Ava's beauty secrets to her wonderful skin was she drank a LOT of water, took a pitcher with her bed each night. Thanks for the wonderful videos, I've bought & tried so much you've shared ! Have a great day <3
I love your channel and am drawn to the vintage experience.
I noticed that you have sought suggestions of people we would like to see highlighted..
I lived your nightlight on Jaqckie Kennedy, but I would like to see other first ladies..
Ladies of different cultures and color would, I think, be interesting…
Rita Hayworth and Raquel Welch next, please 🙏🏼😍
I adore Ava Gardner
Can you make one on men's too. Like: James Dean, Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, James stewart, Clark Gable & Gregory Peck.
Ava – The second most beautiful woman in the world. Elizabeth Taylor the most beautiful.
Ava was a stunning beauty. My husband think she is the most beautiful woman he have seen, after me of course lol😅 Sitting here looking like a clown. My eyeliner looks crazy today.
Ava was a stunner!
Loved this video! Please may you do Anna May Wong and Rita Hayworth next? 🌟
Thank you, I love your channel so much!
Thank you so much for doing this! I love Ava. 🙂
Laura, she was so beautiful and down to earth! Thanks for listing her products! I love the smell of Tabu and Shalimar perfume!
Saw her in Karachi in 1955 as a child with my sister in a hotel where she was staying. We stared! Even a child knew!She seemed so tall and had shiny oil on her face and hair. It was tied back. We remember! She was smoking surrounded. By people. I remember that face even today. She didn’t look like an American to us. Just so very beautiful even to 2 children!
Woodbury sold a bath/complexion soap bar. I used to buy it from Woolworth's. It smelled heavenly. I could no longer buy it at some point during the 1970s.
Idk who she is but WOW she was beautiful!
Max Factor was one of my favorites. Like Shalimar perfume. My mother was addicted to Miztouko.
she also really liked a product called Tangee Orange which you can still buy today. It's a lipstick that's orange in the tube but has that color-changing pink dye in it like the Dior lip glow. It is actually a sheer pink color.
I never knew she was a singer too, I do know she was from North Carolina.
Whatever happened to Lux soap, I have never seen it in stores?
Could you do a video on Lana Turner?
She an Icon, She's always be Glamorous 💖 Golden Age of Hollywood is still the best of all time, you can see How Attractive is the Actresses and Actors is. Classic Movies are more on Gold & Beautiful ❤️✨
I adore Shalimar and Tabu. You'll rarely find musky-spicy perfume these days.
Ava Gardner was perhaps the most beautiful woman in the History of Cinema. But she looked 40 when she was 30and at 40 she looked 50 . I liked her looks AFTER she abandoned Hollywood and her actress ambitions in 1954 ish. She made ho hum films to pay her bills and darkened her looks and looked very Latin. Breathtaking beautiful even with bags under her eyes
I always wanted to look like her. What a beauty, nobody can compare! 😭😭😭
Ava was too beautiful when it comes to beauty many find that she,Grace Kelly and Liz Taylor were the most beautiful and their beauty won't be duplicated again the beauty department was once gifted with these peerless beauties.
