While all of Cut Video' (opens in new tab)s 100 Years of Beauty series is fascinating, their 19th episode, which takes us to Ireland, is particularly interesting because it explores the different trends in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland following the country's split in 1920. You'll notice that the Republic of Ireland largely follows American beauty trends, whereas Northern Ireland is much more minimalistic and militant in its looks.

Curious to know more? Check out the behind-the-scenes video (opens in new tab) to learn about the fascinating historical events that inspired these trends. Because that's probably the best part.
