Products and tutorials for 1920s make-up
The 1920s were an important decade as, following the end of the Great War, there was a desire for change to forget the past. Here's how to do 1920s make-up.
The 1920s are also “rebellious”; in fact, women want to give a break to tradition and become spokespersons for a new trend aimed at chasing away every residue of the past. Innovative ideas that lead to revolutionizing women's look, goodbye to long hair and clothes that left a lot of room for the imagination (perhaps too much!). The women of the 1920s not only cut their thick hair, but wore shorter dresses to show in public, along the city streets, perhaps smoking a cigarette without fear of prejudice, now obsolete for the time. The little girls, as avant-garde women are called, because of their unconventional look, loved to wear make-up. In this regard, make-up in those periods, marked by the overwhelming and lively rhythms of the Charleston, was well looked after in every facet.
1920s make-up requires a light complexion, and powder and blush for a touch of color are essential in this sense. Smokey eyes, with their dark tones, focus the gaze, an incredible touch that contrasts with pale skin. Smokey eyes must be "sealed" with abundant use of mascara to curl the eyelashes. The eyebrows absolutely thin and long. Finally, the lips should be colored with a lipstick in bright shades such as red or purple.
A make-up which is still in fashion today, albeit with adjustments that have been made over time: the veil of melancholy that 20th century women wanted to accentuate with thin, long eyebrows has now given way to thick eyebrows, very popular in recent times. times. Furthermore, we no longer tend to draw heart-shaped lips as in the past, whose shape was synonymous with elegance. Today lips are never dyed in such a way as to make them smaller, but on the contrary, fuller and more showy lips are desired.
From the foregoing, it can be deduced that 1920s make-up is still an inspiration today, especially for evening make-up. However, to re-propose an original 1920s make-up you need to follow a few precautions, just admire photos of women like Greta Garbo, Louise Brooks, Marlene Dietrich, who effortlessly carried forward a message aimed at breaking the mold in an era of disruption with the past. Women of the 20th century to whom we owe a lot, an inexhaustible source of inspiration in matters of femininity and seduction.
