1920's Great Gatsby Inspired Makeup

 
The roaring '20's.
"A little party never killed nobody"
A good friend of mine got married in August and she had a 1920's theme wedding.
First of all it was an incredibly fun idea and everyone got into the spirit.
The bride was absolutely beautiful and it was a wonderful time.



Of course me being me, I was very excited to put together a makeup look from the 1920's.
I did a bit of research on what the mainstream looks were back then.
Dark, rounded "sad eyes" that went well up through the crease of the eye.
Heart shaped lips; only filling in the center with color.
Softly sculpted cheeks and strong brows  
So I put together a little kit seen above.




My flapper dress was from Amazon and was pretty reasonably priced.

My sister did my hair and she did a fabulous job!
Headpiece also from Amazon here



  
And what's a flapper without pearls?
These plastic one were around $4 on Amazon here



 The makeup was a lot of fun to do, a lot of black eyeshadow.



My sister and I even won the costume contest :)



My video cut out before I got to mention these guys.
City Color's HD Powder is the most amazing setting powder I've ever used!
And Urban Decay's setting spray really works.
I'm not a believer in setting sprays, they never seem to work.
But I got a sample of this one and decided to try it.
My makeup lasted ALL day & night!
Through dancing and the outdoors it didn't move.

Here's what it looked like at the end of the night:


Almost exactly the same as when it was first applied.
I've used this spray since at a picnic on a 95 degree, humid day and my makeup still stayed perfect!

Our wonderful friends had a beautiful day and gave us 
all a wedding to remember for years to come :)
Congrats Michele and Nick!

Thanks for reading :)
