Using makeup and childhood relics, themarisjones explores why we've romanticized nostalgia.

Welcome to Favorite Follow, a new series highlighting NYLON's favorite creators and the stories behind some of their most memorable content.

At a time when so many are confined to homes, apartments, and familiar surroundings, Jones has provided continual entertainment, creating short, colorful clips that span past, present, and future events. IRL celebrations might be on hold, but thanks to Jones, viewers have joined in on an '80s-inspired New Years bash, followed along with the evolution of radio, and imagined a world where time travel is possible.

Relying on a stockpile of makeup, beauty products, and even childhood relics, Jones uses her creations to tap into feelings of nostalgia. "I have also always been really fascinated by the romanticism of older things. We love to romanticize times we didn’t experience ourselves, but in reality no time was ever ‘cooler’ than another, it was just different and things keep repeating themselves, with little variations," she said.
