1930- 1950 s make up and hair

Hi Guys,

I m so so sorry that wasn't been blogging off late that I have many more blogs n fresh contents to compensate...

I had recently been to a fashion show where the inspiration was 1930's. I was mesmerized by the make up and the hair do's, It was very sophisticated and feminine.I got so inspired that I am writing on it today.

Basically 1930's to 1950's was more or the less same hair do's and make up.
Lets start with the Eyes- It is more of a liner look with winged just above your upper lash line. It was more dark and very neat. It was " my eyes says a lot of things" kinda look.The eye shadow would be a natural shade and the eyebrows were kind of thin and well shaped. here is the picture of how one can do a winged eyeliner

 
U can use Maybeline liner it gives you a intense and depth, the brush comes with the product moves very smoothly.
Lips- The lips in the early 30's was dark maroons, deep purple and burgundy,  and in the late 40,s RED lips became high fashion note and the trend.Prime your lips then apply a lip liner preferably hot red color apply on the outer lip line, fill it with the same lip liner and then apply the same shade of lipstick on the lips., pat it dry with a tissue and look is complete.

One of our favorite legend Marilyn Monroe who portrayed this look as a very sensuous and dynamic look which is been followed till now.

More prominent than make up in the era of 1930’s to 1950’s was HAIR. With blow dryers and curling irons yet to be convenient tools for today’s women, Women in that era had to find creative ways to achieve the gorgeous looks we see in today’s world.

Pin curls, rag curls were a very popular style in that generation.They used to wrap sections of their wet hair around rags and tie knots in them, or twirl them around bobby pins, overnight, to get the flowing waves. It takes us about 20 to 30 minutes to create with heat products.
