A brief history of the 1920s makeup look.
In the 1920s, the increasing use of makeup was a symbol of rebellion and liberation of women. The makeup style, characterized by its distinctive cupid's bow lips and down-turned eye makeup ( sad eyes) was influenced by the silent Hollywood film era.
Actresses like Clara Bow, Louise Brooks, and Joan Crawford embraced the flapper aesthetic. Featuring bold, dark eye makeup, emphasizing the eyes with kohl liner and mascara. The eyes were often accentuated with a downward slanting shape, which Irina shows you how to achieve in this tutorial. The flapper look was that of a demure but perpetually melancholic girl. Again the influence of the drama of the silent movies.
Red lips were another focal point of the flapper look, with a distinct Cupid's bow shape achieved through the use of lip liners and lipsticks. In deep, rich shades like plum, burgundy, or red. This exaggerated lip shape was often emphasized with the application of dark lipstick to create a bow-like appearance.
Makeup artists of the time, such as Max Factor and Helena Rubinstein, played a crucial role in popularizing these trends. Their new cosmetics products and techniques specifically tailored to the demands of the burgeoning film industry.
Through their work with Hollywood stars and the widespread dissemination of their techniques through magazines and beauty guides, these makeup artists helped to cement the flapper makeup look as a symbol of modernity and glamour during the 1920s.
Hollywood's influence on fashion and beauty during this period was profound, and the flapper makeup style became an enduring icon of the Roaring Twenties.
