Today’s post is all about the deep, abiding love we have for that smoky eyed, pouty-lipped flapper look. Sugar and spice is a perfect embodiment of the flapper style, and I absolutely adore modern variations on the dark eyes and red lips of the era. Like this photo: gorgeous green smokey eyes, just bitten lips, mussed hair, bold brows…. pale and dramatic and fabulous.
We’ve posted before with a video tutorial on achieving a more precise 20s makeup look, but there are so many different ways to do this well. For example….
Absolutely gorgeous! Doe Deere walks you through the steps she took to achieve this look, including the greyish blue smoky eyes and these UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT lips.
Seriously. Literally perfect, right? Lighter, glossier than the matte theatrical flapper look. Wedding appropriate, even! Just lovely.
Speaking of wedding appropriate, I also absolutely love these two looks from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2009 show. This first is a beautiful Louise Brooks homage. Wearable and elegant and simply gorgeous.

Frankly, it’s pretty much a wedding …
There’s something to be said for the deco-purist, the 20s enthusiast still wearing period-appropriate underpinnings and loving every minute. But there’s also a loveliness to the reinterpretation of old classics, like this gorgeous almost punk, almost goth, all 1920s wedding look. Stunning! 1920s punk pinup look.

We’ve posted a few 1920s makeup looks before, but it’s hard not to keep coming back to that flapper favorite (and modern trend), the smokey eye. Just ask our previously featured art deco Hollywood style icons Myrna Loy, Louise Brooks and Clara Bow… So today I’m posting because I came across a really excellent video …
What a great find from GlamourDaze! A promotional video from the ’30s with five different featured hairstyles (or as the oh-so-delightful announcer puts it, “five new creations for mi’lady’s coiffure.”) These are some seriously gorgeous looks, mi’ladies! ( I also really enjoy how annoyed the brunette on the left looks. She is the Kristen Stewart …
