1920's make-up look.

One era that interest me the most in make up would be the  flirtatious 20's!

During the 1920's most women wore cream or ivory face powder to give the women a very flawless subtle look.Later on in the middle of the twenties a powder corresponding to the nature of the skin came into fashion. However they were very bold when it came to there lips, they usually used deep reds,plums or orange's.As trends changed so did the colours but they still remained bold colours. The women applied there lipstick as a "Cupid's Bow" to the upper lip, an the exaggerated there bottom lip, they de-emphasized it a little. Lips were the key look to any womens make-up

The women usually wore dark smoky eyes. To get this effect the women lined there eyes with black eyeliner, the eyelid was usually covered with a dark grey to give a smoky look, the women also used other colour like turquoise and greens and it was applied very heavily. The women also painted there eyelashes black to emphasis them then added on the fake eyelashes. This style was very dark and dramatic.

The 1920's was a big change for women they finally got the right to vote and finally got a chance to let there hair down and let there beauty fly free. Women began to date without chaperones, dance and drink hard liquor at parties and best of all express there beauty through make up! Women reinvented them selves! For once they had confidence and was allowed to showit, so why not girls! This is why this style of makeup interests me the most not just because its a beautiful look but there is a story behind it !
