 The makeup
accepted in the 20s of the 20th century was too heavy by all standards
adopted today to create the dramatic look. The makeup of that day had a must-have
eye-liner for every day use. Retro makeup has many come backs though all the
sharp and heavy lines are smoothed and heavily highlighted eyes become less
expressive. Throughout its century history retro makeup has come as the prove
makeup for evening out and for every day use.
Up to the
20s of the 20th century the cosmetic products have been greatly
improved. And by that time makeup had been accepted as the customary thing for
a woman of any social status, whereas famous cosmetic brands paved their way to
blooming since then. Paleness was still popular as the remainder of that
delicate style, though first bronzers were manufactured and powder in peach
color which found the followers too quickly. The first compact powder was
create and patented by MaxFactor brand with the logo that a woman with bare
face not powdered to glimmer is bad manners. Women from far 20s favored for
darker shades of lipsticks highlighted with a lip liner, and they liked thick
cat eye makeup a-la Audrey Hepburn. With the laps of forty years the retro
makeup is back to makeup must-haves. The new epoch set a stamp upon darker and
gloomier shades of lipsticks to be replaced with juicy color pallet of red
color as legendary Marilyn Monroe used, and the eyes become more live and
sexual as Brigitte Bardot and Elizabeth Taylor used to highlight with the clear eye-cat makeup and
fake eyelashes.
Retro makeup
in 21st century
The 21st
century greets the retro style newly interpreted. With the aim to create the
image of younger Jane Fonda, the base of one shade lighter than the makeup
color is required since the face should be aristocratically pale with slightly
visible glimmer. So, creamy foundation is better for this purpose. Subtle powder
of the base color is applied over the foundation to add more glow to the look. Another
important tint for this makeup is high cheeks as with Keira Knightley and
Victoria Beckham. If your face is not ideally shaped with no clear lines, the
contrasting look can be given with the rouge of bronze or peach shade.
Retro eye makeup
Eye makeup
has taken a greater attention in retro makeup. The eyebrow line is not
accentuated at all and they may be corrected with gel or soft eye-liner. Eyelashes
should be long, too long and black and false eyelashes are welcome. False eyelashes
were invented in 60s to help women look more appealing. Today the cosmetic
industry offers fake eyelashes that are simply glued with ready-made lashes and
the other approach is eyelash extension. Thick and clear line in cat eye makeup
is must-have. The line is done with the liquid eye-liner at the eyelash line of
the upper lid with ends in the sharp arrow pointed the line should be accurate
and simple, though when you know enough is enough is better since cat eye
makeup Amy Winehouse abuses to have is not attractive but rather arrogant looking.
Retro makeup eye-shadows are applied to outline eyes but not overdo, and thus,
neutral pearl-beige or golden shades are better.
Retro lips
Lips come as vivid and sensual as Scarlett Johansson’s full lips. Those ladies with thinner lips are better to apply
the shades of light-red and pink-red, while full-lip women look more gorgeous applying
lipstick of dark-red or wine-colored. Retro lips provide for the lip-liner of
the same color as the lipstick which accentuate lips and make them clear.
Today accents
Retro makeup
is proved to be universal when the correctly picked up tones and shades make
you look like scandalous Dita Von Teese, romantic and tender Charlize Theron. In 2010
fashion designers add original solutions to make the retro makeup wider and
new. So, the lipstick color comes as glimmering tender pink, while eye shadows
will be offered with violet hues as Megan Fox and Katie Perry boast with. Face is
not about to look that pale since no everyone is comfortable with it. The golden
tan is more adopted and welcomed as never.
When seeking
for individual image, follow fashion stylists’ recommendations and listen to
your inner world not to confuse.
