As tempted as I was to do a 50s inspired look with a sleek cat eye and red lipstick, I decided that it's not too much of a challenge for me as lately all I seem to be doing is a cat eye. So instead I looked to the 20s for inspiration, another favourite era of mine. The classic 20s look has a matte face with rosy blush on the apples of the cheeks, eyes are heavy and dark with almost smudged eyeshadow. Brows are plucked and drawn downwards, while lips are deep red with an exaggerated cupid's bow.
Since the look for today was modern vintage, I wanted to do a 20s look that was actually wearable. Instead of opting for the skinny brows and making my eyes look like I'd been crying for days, I decided to still use the colour palettes of the 20s but make the overall look something more appropriate to current days.
