CELEBRATING THE ROARING TWENTIES IN A SPECIAL SERIES

I don’t wear much makeup usually. Mainly because I am in too much of a rush in the mornings. Until fairly recently I had all but given up wearing eye makeup entirely because I loathed taking it off in the evenings – every eye makeup remover I’d ever tried stung badly. Now that I’ve found one that does not (Garnier Gentle Cleansing Milk with waterlily extract), I have happily gone back to dabbling with shadow and mascara.

Last night a little surfing online washed me up on the shores of a 1920s makeup tutorial at Glamour Daze. It was midnight, and feeling whimsical, I decided it was the optimum time to play with crayons and kohl. Never mind that I had to go to work in the morning.

Although I’ve always had strong feelings about the caterpillars above my eyes, I don’t have the nerve to pluck my eyebrows quite as thin as the tutorial suggests, but I did some pruning of the hedges first. And as fraudulent as it felt blocking out my mouth with makeup and painting in the classic 20s lips, they did pull the look together. I don’t think I’d want to gad about in the daylight with pancake lips though – this look is strictly eveningwear.
