1940'S HAIR & MAKE-UP RESEARCH

 

LIPSTICK CURLS GLAMOUR IS WHAT THE 1940'S WAS ALL ABOUT!

1940's make up:

The 1940's was one of the most iconic looks of the past as i look back at images we can clearly define what the signiture 1940's look was.In the 1940's women were very pale they aimed for a fresh skin tone look and wore a slightly darker foundation to look a little tanned and healthy in the facial area, make up in this era was very fresh and clean, however it is seen that as they aimed for the flawless complextion women put on a fair amount of foundation and then set it with a powder to do this.
Rouge (Blusher) In the 1940's women tended to use a small amound of red lipstick which was rubbed into the cheek bone area to create a rosey cheek this was seen as a glamourous healthy look, Beetroot was also another option if they didnt own a red lippy however in the 1940's a red lippy was a must for the whole decade, Other popular colours where coral and oranges.
Brows. In the 1940's women shaped and groomed there brows they would use either charcoal, khol, or burnt cork they would also use this on there lash line to create the desired flick on the outer corner of the eyes
