skip to 2:49 for actual faces

It's always "ur pretty" and never "you would be worshipped in medieval times, you would be painted in the Renaissance era, you would be considered a masterpiece in the 18th century, you would be adored in the Victorian era."

Karolina: "i can't draw" Also Karolina: continues to draw better than I ever will.

Can we talk about how amazing Ava's Coca-Cola ad is??? 30s definitely suits her

Oh my goodness, Queen KZ knows how to recognize beauty and be kind and uplifting to humans. (I don't say "fellow humans," because as we know, Karolina is an immortal being.)

Forget "entertaining." This video was a heartfelt and beautiful example of showing unbiased love to others and boosting their self-esteem. It made me stop and pause and look at each face more closely and see them how you were seeing them with a fresh set of eyes. That's the real magic here.

I WOULD LOVE A SERIES. But I will wait patiently.

Jessica speaking: After you said 5,000 photos and I started see the faces featured, I didn't think I'd make it. My heart almost stopped! Thank you! You're really kind and you make me want to 30s and 40s style. I have done 20s makeup for parties with faux thin eyebrows and it does work. I'll try replying with a link. Hopefully YT won't remove it.

9:03 karolina accidentally exposed a fellow vampire and now she must answer for her crime at the vampire council.

The girl that Karolina didn't photoshop, reminded me the Veemer portrait "the girl with pearl earring".

Omg the bunny in the wimple….😂👌🏻 Me: “I’m so ugly I look like Gollum in a wig” Karolina: “isn’t she just STUNNING and gorgeous??”

17th century Jose here, I can’t find the words to describe how happy and grateful I am to be featured in one of your videos. Thank you very very much.

I’m the joyful 1670s portrait guy! It’s such an honor to have been chosen. After my face popped up, my surprise and delight kept me smiling and quietly chuckling for hours. I’m a huge fan of your videos (and incidentally, also really love Poland and can’t wait until corona is over so I can visit again!). Dziękuję bardzo, Karolina 🇵🇱

Time out, can we talk about how Madame Meme is rocking her own twist on a historical style here: 90’s era Dwayne Johnson. ✅ black turtleneck ✅ fab gold chain (JEALOUS) ⛔️ waist bag (missing)

When my turn was up at 8:55, I had to pause the video and take a moment to compose myself. First time I ever participated in any form of "send in your picture." But of course Karolina did a great job and I promise I'm not a vampire. (ha ha) 😊

Oh my gosh, that’s me and my bunny Annie in 13th century wimples! Thank you for our beautiful medieval makeover. I’m so humbled and grateful to have been featured. I’m obsessed with Annie’s wimple! 😂

Oh god I did not expect my damn toilet selfie to be in this😳I am equally honored and embarassed. Also why was everyone so beautiful. Wow. Can’t imagine how many more beautiful faces were sent in.

The knowledge that Karolina has seen my face is such a gift, regardless of being in a video or not

I came to terms you wouldn’t use my picture and I literally cried when you used it. I love you so much and this is one of my favorite series that you do

Well I guess I have to make a robe a la francaise now because Karolina says I would look good in one. New project time!

8:15 OH MY GOD IM IN HERE!!! im so flattered you chose me and i do tend to go for the 20s eyeshadow shape!!! i love the caligari vibes thank you omg 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤

For people that wear veils and want to start on historical costuming: for most of history people wore head coverings, and for the majority of this "most of history" they wore veils. Maybe you are only looking at a certain country's fashion at the time you're interested and you're only seeing hats and caps, try and look at other countries and you'll *absolutely* see lots of veils. For example, I'm researching 18th century and most of what found first was about France and England, but when I started finding things about Spain I saw *soooooooooo many veils* all over the place, and since I'm trying to find more information about what people wore here in Brazil and I can't find much about Brazil or Portugal and I know that Portugal and Spain had very similar dress styles at the time, looking at what was going on in Spain is very useful for me, so I'm considering a veil or a gandaya (which is something I'm absolutely obsessed with since I discovered it) for my 18th century outfit.

I love everything about this video. The beautiful people. Karolina's kindness. The guy in the powdered wig.

Please, please make this a series! As it has a lot of originality, plus you can never run out of ideas, for what to do with it! Because there are endless pictures, endless ideas for the historical interpretations. (BTW hope my picture gets put in the next video! Whenever that may be!) Edit: Them likes tho!

A good 1/3 of these pictures, when photoshopped, made my jaw drop with how ACCURATE she was. Like, I knew Karolina was good at this but DAMN, this is impressive. Also, I agree, all of these lovely humans are so beautiful 🥺

A few of the people featured had such big gorgeous eyes I was taken aback. Like excuse you? How dare you entrance me with your gaze? But seriously Karolina was not kidding about some of these already looking like paintings

This is the most kind-hearted video I've ever seen, I love it!! Bc of modern plastic surgery, beauty standards have been narrowing and narrowing and its really nice to see face shapes you don't see in movies or viral insta or whatever get the attention they deserve!

That Coca-Cola ad was inspired! All of these are so impressive.

I am such a huge fan and I am so happy you used my picture!!!!!!! The Coca Cola ad looks awesome and I am so touched by your kind words💞 Thank you Meme Mom!! ❤

YOOOOO I'm Jackie. After saying you had so many submissions, I thought there was no way I'd make it in. I'm honestly still in shock. Thank you for all of the love!!!

'After two days of photoshopping straight, my back was starting to do some strange things' As a Graphic Design student I 100% get that

It was so touching to hear that you looked at all the photos, it really shows how much you care for viewers 🥺 we love you meme mom thanks for a lovely video ❤️

Please turn this into a series. It was so much fun.

This really is such a skill. Every after photo just FITS. So satisfying

loved it. it would also be amazing to see this in collaboration with creators specialized in other historical cultures, to make it more diverse than european fashion history!

I love the positivity radiating from this video, got me grinning ear to ear getting to see everyone's faces. People are just so pretty!!

Oh I am so glad you didn’t give up on the cloche hat! I am so happy with my fur coat and hat! Thank you for featuring me!

Anyone else get a warm feeling when you heard she looked at every photo? 💖 That's some serious dedication.

i'd genuinely commission a "what era am i" lmao. but really, after you mentioned it in a prev video i went looking myself and found a portrait from 1881 that looks honestly really similar to me, another from 1897, somehow both are from portugal. guess i was a portugese man in 1885 or something

When you think that karolina carries a superlative and timeless beauty... She reveals to us her followers ♥️

Small existential crisis at 1:40 because all of these people have their own lives, struggles, etc. This is me on the daily! Humanity is fascinating and astounding; individual people constantly blow my mind!!

You were right - all your viewers are stunningly beautiful...and their historical selves are too! You did a much better job on the photoshop than you give yourself credit for.

We really need this to be a series. It is such a fun and unique way of interacting with fans. I love it!

5,000 photos and yet part of me still thought "Hold on, there's still a chance I could be in this". Excellent video even if I didn't make the cut, hah!

All of these are amazing, but I gotta say the bunny in the wimple is the cutest damn thing I've seen all week🐇😢

This was so much fun! And I want to second what you said about welcoming hijabi to the costuming hobby. I think there's room (or they should be room) for people of all different backgrounds. I latched on to "Vintage style, not vintage values." early on. I also love following instagrams of people who cover non-European costuming so I can learn more about that.

12:28 The immortal being that just happens to create the beauty standard for every era due to the immense amount of gorgeousness she possesses.

I'm ecstatic! I really tried to choose a picture that didn't hinted at any specific era I have tried to recreate, but may be its time to work more on 17th century. Thank you so much!

I love how time traveling is now a part of your channel, Karolina 🥰

welcome back, meme mom!

Omg thx!! I made it and she pronounced Anthéloresa so perfect✨✨

This was pure joy!!!!!! Wholesome content!!!!!! This is what the world needs. Look at this face, it's a fabtasic face, also great in this era. You are a vampire. Just my wee heart is so full ❤️

Oh my GOD THE BUNNY IN THE WIMPLE

Karolina wróciła żeby znowu zachęcać mnie żeby zakupić dużo historycznych ubrań. ILY

Oh my God, thank you so much for the nice words and encouragement you gave to vail-wearing people, cause my hijabi self loves historical clothing and the support from someone like you means a lot 🥰🤗😊

The MOMENT you posted the original question, I immediately thought MAKE IT A SERIES. I knew you would have a ton of submissions and I want to see more!!

"It seems like some of you know what historical era you want to look good in." ... *Casually tucks away photo of self I almost submitted with my 1905 house in the background*

Y'know, this might be a good topic for a subreddit or something. People helping each other figure out what eras suit them best. That way, meme mom won't be pressured to do all them and we can help each other figure out our eras!

The lady that you didn't end up photoshopping 100% looks like the subject of a Jan van Eyck painting! She's gorgeous and would work so well in the 1430s!

this was too cute! anyone else kinda regretting being too shy to submit their selfie? i'm so curious now, lol! :)

Yo, I was actually really touched by the outro for this video. I loved how enthusiastic and positive you were about all of the photos in the first place, but it was really nice to hear your feelings about the community that’s built itself around you and your content.

I was having a bad day and this just totally made it so much better! I wasn’t sure if my picture would make it but it did and your kind words were SO lovely! Thank you for being you!

I love the Jackie pic . All of these are really good to be honest . The 1920th vamp I love . Jose, is super cute to the renactment the hair on the chest is so hot. And Bret pulled it off.

Super honored to have been picked and you pronounced my name impeccably! 💛

wait omg that’s?? me?? in the video??? meme mom made me into a meme??? (i was the anastasia w the 1830’s and disney movie !)

Evangeline at 12:27 would be PERFECT in a painting by Vermeer. So I'd put her squarely in the middle of the 17th century.

Such a fun idea! Maybe for part 2, choose 100 photos and sort them into 10 different eras without photo-shopping, and briefly explain the popular facial features/styles for each era. :)

i was going to submit a selfie but i freaked out last second and didn’t send it in i regret it now HAHAHAH please do this again soon!!! ps jackie if you’re seeing this i love your folklore cardigan and i am so incredibly jealous of you

The young lady with the blonde pulled back hair whom you didn’t do much to - she literally IS The Girl With the Pearl Earring ( sorry I missed her name, I had to run out suddenly lol)

5:23 *Pugs would be the equivalent to the Hasburgs (sorry Pug owners)*

I am sorry that your back hurt after helping us all find when we're from! I can't wait to (hopefully!!) see mine next time. Thank you for such a fun and unique video!

Thanks for looking at all our faces karolina ❤️

The rabbit in a wimple was the highlight for me. Reminded me of His Lordship's portrait.

tysm Karolina for taking out the time to do this

This!! This is the kind of heart warming and uplifting content that makes the world just that much better 💖 You’re doing amazing things with your platform Karolina ☺️

Mememom realizing that 5, 000 faces is so many faces and lives. Me agreeing....and then realizing how many MORE faces and lives her 1 million followers have 😮 Thanks so much for this video! I'm not in it, but I know being in this video is likely the highlight of someone's week/ year and it's lovely you did it. (Lowkey wouldn't be upset if it became a series eventually).

Nabia has the CUTEST FACE! I think she would be the youngest sister in a Jane Austin novel, definitely lots of laughing and getting into mostly harmless trouble.

Karolina has outdone herself this time! This was so fun, the drawings and Photoshops really conveyed perfectly what she was talking about!

Honestly this is the beauty standards we need! Every unique beautiful person fits somewhere, and always will. Amazing job!

LOVEEEEE THESE, would so love to see a series of the other meme mom fans but no pressure at all ofc 💖

12:11 - It's me! I love it! Thank you Karolina!

I appreciate how respectful Karolina is :')

The coca-cola ad was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!

Holy crap! You weren't kidding, everyone is so gorgeous!

Got my fingers crossed for a part 2 someday. And yes, part of that is my desire to make the cut, but this was just very entertaining to watch.

Beautiful! And the bunny with the wimple is * chef's kiss *

Oh my gosh! I love the picture you did of me, thanks for including me 😭❤️❤️❤️

Not me parking my car in the middle of the street just to watch this

Could you do a part two?? This was fascinating

Man, this is so well done! You kept apologizing for the art but it's clear to see that you really put a lot of concentration in the details and shading, and it's so nice to see that you really tried to make them look good. Like you didn't just make a block of color for the hair, you added layers of colored strands. Most people that do this kind of video just add a few colors in somewhat the same shape, or just show a picture next to them without even trying to photoshop. And you looked at EVERY photo??? That shows you really care! Most would just look at a couple and say, yup, that's enough for a video and call it there. Plus, I really appreciate the fact that you used gender neutral pronouns.

Everyone in the pictures look so gorgeous. And the photoshop also wasn't bad. I couldn't have done that as good as Karolina.

Ever since I first learnt at school about the Fin de siècle, or I think it's called the secession in art history, I loved the style. The way people looked during that period, the hairstyles, the fashion. I have to say that there's something in my look also that resembles women from that era. It's so strange.

thank you for how INCREDIBLE these captions are, especially so immediately. I’m deaf and the accuracy and clarity of the captioning was so so wonderful

This type of video is so entertaining. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to your videos Karolina! The effort you put in really shows

evangeline looks so historical. shes so beautiful how can she look so gorgeoussss

omg u actually used my picture ?? 😭 i feel embarrassed now that i didn’t use a better picture. ty meme mum i love my new look

I totally would love a series...but yeah, as others have said, take your time! Yay for a bunny being in the first image, I love bunnies!! Loved this video.

This is amazing and such a needed break from so much negativity online! 👏

I do this all the time when I am on the subway in NYC. Everyone can fit into a painting in a museum.

Thank you so much for including me in this! 💕 So cool to see so many different faces :0
