Each decade of this time period had its own style of makeup; its own signature lips, eye makeup, rouge techniques, etc. This book shows the changes in makeup styles over these decades and provides practical, easy-to-follow steps and guidance in recreating a vintage face. By using the trends in shape and colour of a specific decade, emulating a time period is even easier and better replicated.
This 104-page full-colour book starts with a brief history of makeup during the Victorian and Edwardian Eras and then provides practical knowledge in applying makeup to help better use the information provided in each decade. It then jumps into full details about makeup styles during the 1920's, 1930's, 1940, 1950's and 1960's, with each decade having its own dedicated chapter. Each decade has information on historical events and innovations in products that were affecting makeup trends, popular shapes, and colours. Also in each decade are start-to-finish instructions on various makeup looks made popular by movie stars, models and beauty magazines of the time.
