| Make-up in the 1940's- powder and rouge |
[Jan. 8th, 2012|03:06 pm] |
I love reading make-up tricks from past times and I don't think I'm the only one. The look in the 1940's were rather simple, subtle eyes and strong cheeks and lips, but of course there were a lot of do's and don't when it came to make-up technique. This post and the next will take material from a Swedish beauty book from 1946, Skönhet by Vivan Huber. It's written with the Swedish woman in mind, but trends and fashions are similar to the rest of Europe, as well as US, of the time. Today's post will be on powder and rouge, the next one will cover lips and eyes.
The chapter on make-up begins with stating that making sure she is as beautiful as possible is one of the most important things for a woman to strive for and make-up is an excellent aid. Not too any excess, but if it's applied tastefully and correctly, then make-up is always a good thing. When choosing colours it is important to consider several things. Time of day- one can wear more make-up in the evenings. Dark women can wear more make-up as well. One should also consider ones age, shape of face and colour on clothing.

| Ruby Woo on blondes |
[Jul. 2nd, 2010|10:34 pm] |
|
Hey guys, I've never posted here before, but I've been a long-time member and watcher. I have a question about the Ruby Woo lipstick, that many people recommend. I've got rather light blonde hair (not like white-blonde or anything) and medium skin tone (more on the lighter side), and I'm a bit hesitant to use the Ruby Woo on myself. I'm afraid it would look really tacky on me since most bright red lipsticks do, even with liner. Can anyone shead any light on my problem? Do you think it looks fine on blondes? I just don't want to buy it and not be able to use it, since it's so expensive... |
