The Perfect Forties Glitz Makeup Look |
 Strong eyeliner, matt make-up and rich red lips set a sophisticated and elegant style that draws on the 1940s for inspiration. The shapes of the face is given greater definition by highlighting fetures to create a more sculpted look. Eyebrows are neatly arched to emphasize the sleekness of the eyeliner, and clever use of blusher makes the cheekbones look high and perfectly defined. This look works well for evenings because it gives features greater emphasis and has a dreamy nostalgic feel.

- Do not compromise on the strong red lipstick - a lighter colour would draw attention away from the mouth and make the eyes look too heavy.
- Always allow mascara to dry between coats or you will not be able to build up enough colour.
- If you use a concealer, make sure it blends with the base.
- For extra impact, wear clothes eith a 1940s feel, such as an elegant fitted suit, or a classic twinset and A-line skirt or frock. Clip-on earrings or a simple pearl necklace will add to the overall effect.
- If you do not have naturally wavy hair, try curling it with tongs and then brushing through to leave a gentle wave.
