I've decided to make this historical makeover thing an ongoing series! In this episode, I give myself a Viking makeover, interviewing my friend and fashion historian @LiljaHusmo on what Viking fashion, hair, and makeup may have been like.

I start by hand sewing a dress from Herjolfsnes, and then finish the makeover with a braided hairdo and dark eyeliner look.

Lilja has an absolutely brilliant YouTube channel that I highly recommend checking out:
