The arrival of Angelina Jolie’s new movie, The Changeling, coincides perfectly with fall’s return to the ladylike glamour of the first half of the first half of the 20th century. We’ve talked about the style, but what about beauty trends from that time? Looking to add a little retro glam to your wardrobe? Read on…
This is when red lipstick had its major fashion moment. Viewers have said that it’s a tad distracting on Jolie onscreen (why would painting an already pronounced pucker fire engine red and then blowing it up to the size of a car be distracting?), but the colored lip is a very hot trend for the holidays. A universally flattering red is M.A.C. Cosmetics Lipstick in Russian Red ($14) and it really does look great on all skin tones.
Cake liner is the retro way to get that doe-eyed look. Designed to give a pronounced look when applied with a wet brush, Make Up For Ever Eyeliner Cake in Black 1 ($16) will give you a very vogue cat eye. Steady your elbow on a table or the wall next to a mirror if you don’t have a steady hand.
