1920s Makeup Inspiration

By

Looking for 1920s makeup inspiration? Look no further! A classic 1920s makeup look is one of the loveliest choices for a big day (THE big day, even), a night out on the town, or any party or event. Now, to be clear, there is a certain over-the-top silent film star look that looks best on actual silent film stars (there was some verrrry interesting eyebrow stuff going on in the 1920s film world), but a 1920s inspired makeup look? Always in fashion.

Take a look at some of our old favorites (and yes there are some 1930s-ish looks in here as well), and we’ve sprinkled in some new finds for classic vintage and 1920s makeup inspiration!

    Zombie Flapper Makeup Tutorial

    A quick post today, just 10 days before Halloween, to rave about this incredible zombie flapper makeup tutorial I found on YouTube.  It doesn’t start out zombie-y.
