As a historian and makeup artist I have always<br />
loved the aesthetic of the 1920s because Hollywood<br />
glamour was birthed. The 1920s marked<br />
an era of women’s liberation. Women began to<br />
enjoy nightlife, the movies, and jazz music. Makeup<br />
was a form of women’s liberation because it<br />
embraced all the freeing aspects of a modern<br />
women’s life.<br />
Makeup was used for silent films to emphasis the<br />
actors or actresses’ expressions. Actresses would<br />
shave their eyebrows and use a pencil to draw<br />
them in a downward shape much darker than<br />
their natural color. Lips were dark and vampy and<br />
all about exaggeration. Women would concentrate<br />
on an accentuate the cupid’s bow to create a<br />
perfect feminine shape.<br />
Silent movies actresses such as Clara Bow and Josephine<br />
Baker popularized makeup for the everyday<br />
women through their status. The popularity of<br />
movies is what began retail cosmetics as we know<br />
it today. Women wanted to emulate the looks for a<br />
night out of their favorite on screen actresses.<br />
I love taking past trends and put a modern wearable<br />
spin on them. These are some ways you can recreate<br />
roaring 20’s style makeup in your everyday modern<br />
life.<br />
Take your favorite kohl black eyeliner pencil and use<br />
it as your eyeshadow. Start at the lash line and then<br />
buff out with a brush or your fingertips. No fuss and<br />
no need to worry about it being perfect.<br />
Try a vampy lip! Using a lip liner sketch out your natural<br />
lip line. Doing this will give your lipstick a longer<br />
lasting base. Try darker tones with a satin finish,<br />
look for raspberry, plum, or deep red tones.<br />
Pick a matte pink toned blush, smile and pop on<br />
to the apples of your cheeks.<br />
ABOVE/<br />
Clara Bow was an American actress<br />
who rose to stardom in silent film<br />
during the 1920s. Her appearance<br />
as a plucky shopgirl in the film It<br />
brought her global fame and the<br />
nickname “The It Girl”.<br />
LEFT/<br />
Maybelline New York was founded<br />
in 1915. Then later, it’s name was<br />
shortened to just Maybelline.<br />
I hope makeup makes you feel liberated in<br />
expressing your truest self.<br />
