🎀 The Decade is "1930" 🎀 Our lipgloss shade 1930 was inspired by CEO @the_queen_bambee Great Great Grandmother who was born 1934. She describes her as very fashion forward in her youth. This Deep Plum shade is a reflection how lipsticks tend to appear in black and white film during the golden age of this era. In the 1930s, women put more feminine emphasis on their face. The once heavy kohl eyeshadows from the 1920s, was now replaced with lighter shades. To get the 1930s look. Use: - Hollywood Glow Highlighter in "Sade" all over the lid and to highlight the cheek bone. - Add Baby Girl as your rouge (optional). - Finish your lips with 1930 lipgloss. - Optinional: To finish off the look, apply one of our Lash Style. We Suggest Aaliyah or Helen.

1930s Makeup

There are tons of benefits to wearing makeup. For starters, it makes you more confident. It also adds one more layer of protection to the skin while enhancing your appearance. Do you need more fun during the day? Wear a bit of makeup.

Despite all these benefits, views regarding makeup are too diverse. Some are in support while others oppose the wearing of makeup. For the most part, those opposing it believe that it is a sign of insecurity.

Nevertheless, makeup is here to stay. Without a doubt, the industry has evolved. Humans have always worn makeup. Different cultures around the world had their own unique types of makeup. Each generation also has its preferences, as you will see vis-à-vis the 1930s makeup.

Thin Eyebrows

One of the hallmarks of the 1930s makeup was the insistence on thin eyebrows. At the heart of the then revolution was the popularity of many Hollywood stars. A few names worth mentioning here include:

Greta Garbo

Carole Lombard

Marlene Dietrich

Several factors made these women popular with the womenfolk in the United States and around the world. The glamour they displayed coupled with their femininity made them household names in the world of makeup.

The emphasis was on the face. Women put more effort into accentuating their facial features. To this end, they worked hard to not only look for but also apply the kind of makeup that brought out their faces’ strong points.

Fair Complexion

The 1930s makeup was not only limited to thin eyebrows. Makeup lovers were also intent on displaying their fair complexion. Consequently, they looked for makeup that made their complexion stand out.

In talking about fair complexion, you would be unable to ignore the skin. The complexion is all about the skin, different components of the skin such as texture and tone. Fortunately, the 1930s crowd had multiple ways of bringing out the best of their complexion.

Their strategies incorporated the following:

Applying a foundation for light complexion with a bit of subtle pink undertone

Using Rouge sparingly while blushing to avoid the rugged, outdoorsy, wholesome look that became quite popular later

Eyes

Makeup that never had any effect on the eyes was almost inconsequential before the masses of the 1930s. For this reason, it was common to see women using either a dab of petroleum or olive oil. Applied on the eyes, the oil/petroleum created a bit of a shine.

However, that is not to say that the 1930s women were not bold or adventurous. At night, they preferred to fill their eyes with a bit of color. It was not shocking to see women with purple, green, or deep blue eyes at night.

Flecks of mica and other metallics were also quite popular around the eyes. To get a detailed version of the look, you would have to watch “Cabaret” to see Liza Minnelli in the style that made the 1930s such a pivotal moment in women’s makeup.

Furthermore, the period saw an upsurge in the popularity of the eyeliner pencil. A woman’s makeup kit would be incomplete without the eyeliner pencil. Women would line both the lower and upper eyelids in brown grease pencil.

Other Areas of Attention

When talking about the 1930s makeup, you would also have to spare several chapters to eyelashes. They were as important as any other part of the face that needed a special application of makeup.

Mostly, women went for dark lashes. To this end, they applied henna to create a stain that lasted a long time. Additionally, womenfolk went with sleek and slim lines. A woman with thick lashes would receive weird looks or be ignored totally.

Makeup that does not touch the lips is not worth writing about. Longer and sleeker lip lines defined the 1930s. Joan Crawford’s “overlip” comes to mind here. Full, pouty lips would make you to draw all attention to yourself.

Modeling hats is rather like getting your mugshot done. "Look left, look right, forward, down," and then finally, usually just for fun, "now just your eyes to me," while the chin is still dipped to get this death-glare look. 😄 I had to include both shots--eyes closed and eyes open--in this listing because, you know: drama. 😁 . . . . . . . . . . . #1930s #1930shat #1930sfashion #1930sdress #1930sstyle #1930svintage #1930soutfit #depressionerafashion #lookofdeath #deathstare #blueeyes #1930smakeup #1930smoviestar #1930shairstyle #womenwhowearhats #hatnation #vintagehats #fashionphotography #modeling #iowamodel #vintagephotoshoot #etsyvintage #etsyfinds #etsylove #historicaldress #historicalfashion #roseleinrarities #redlips #livecolorfully #howivintage https://www.instagram.com/p/B7o8zQ0g-_l/?igshid=yhciukkq4elt

Norma Shearer...I just can’t get too much of her. The first time I saw her in the #1930s movie The Divorcee, I was hooked. For me, she really was one of the few actresses at the time that managed to play strong feminist characters so well. And no, her feminism (and most other feminists) do not think that men are bad or that they are better than men because they are female. Norma Shearer’s feminism simply revolved around the idea that she was equal to any man. What a concept huh!? Since we just passed the anniversary of her death, I thought I would give #normashearer a shout out for her #feminist ways, her knockout #1930sstyle and her beautiful #1930shair that I wish I could reconstruct. A lot of people do not realize her hair is actually #naturalcurl and she was a star at a time when that curl came in very handy for short, curly coiffures.
