PERIOD MAKEUP: 1930

 

In the 30's, after the war was over, people had more money to spend in amusement; there were a lot of parties in the society and +Hollywood just started.
Women in the 30's were more glamourous and sexy, and used to wear gorgeous dresses, plenty of jewels, accessories and fur coats. Bleach came out and they couldn't wait to dye their hair, so blonde became a really popular colour

-.

+VOGUE magazine was out and lot of women took inspiration from posing models for their styles.
Talking about makeup...

Eyebrows in the 30's were very thin, fake eyelashes were widely used, especally spidery lashes and corner lashes to make the eyes look deeper and longer. The face is less powdered than it was in the 20's and lip shapes are painted wider. The position of the blush is high and all eyeshadows are shimmery. Makeup becomes bright.

QUICK TIPS TO CREATE THIS LOOK:

- use a foundation that matches your skin and use a colour as natural as possible. Add a subtile layer of powder to hold everything in place

- use a dark colour for painting your eyebrows; you can also add some Vaseline on the top to make them shiny and flat

- apply an iridescent blush on the top of the cheeks

- choose an iridescent eyeshadow between the few colour available at the time such as blue, mauve, orange, green and gray; apply a light colour under the brow bone and a darker one in the socket. Create a lighter shade in the middle of the eye

- add a very thin eyeliner on the top; nothing on the bottom line

- paint the lips in the tones of raspberry, burgundy or plum  

- for a perfect 30's look remember to draw a beauty spot on your face!

And that is all!
