19. The Retro 1920s Flapper
Step back in time to the roaring twenties with a classic, vintage glamour look that is incredibly chic and easy to wear. The 1920s Flapper look is defined by dramatic, rounded smoky eyes, thin, downward-sloping eyebrows, and a dark, precise lip. Start with a pale, matte foundation to mimic the cosmetic trends of the silent film era.
Draw your eyebrows thin, dark, and slightly elongated, curving downward at the ends. For the eyes, use a matte black or deep charcoal shadow to create a completely round, dark halo around your eyes, blending it softly outward. Skip the modern cat-eye wing and keep the shape rounded and heavy. For the lips, use a deep plum, dark berry, or classic blood-red lipstick to paint a precise, exaggerated cupid’s bow, keeping the outer corners of your mouth slightly concealed to create the classic “doll-like” mouth shape of the decade.
