It was the women of the 1920s who were bold enough to create the first “artificial face.” “Startling eyes, scarlet lips and a pale pallor” was the sought-after look for the everyday flapper. This was the time during which ladies began to change the way they painted their faces. The Roaring 20s - a time when everyone competed to be the most extravagant, and when women most notably began breaking away from societal constructs of the time.

The very idea of makeup existed only in the world of stage actresses during this time. This, of course, applied to how they evened out their complexions. #LilyElsie #1900s #1910s #beauty #Victorian #Edwardian #vintage #vintagestyle #vintagefashion #classic #retro #film #fashion #hair #style #goldenage #glamour #lipstick #eyebrows #beautiful #actress #portrait #English #1800s #roses #Edwardianera #1900sfashionĪ photo posted by Zuzu (Zoe Haddad) on at 3:20pm PDTĪt a time when social class was everything, women evaluated every move they made, lest they risk jeopardizing their reputation.
