1. Clean brows
Classic staple of the era: Girls always looked chic with perfectly groomed arches. Embrace this put-together style by shaping your brows cautiously, keeping your arch aligned with the outer corner of your eye. (Don’t groom them too thin!) To define arches perfectly, use a brow brush to apply powder.
2. Smoky eyes
Back then, ladies would alternate soft brown for day, and gray and black for night. You can try a highly layered look with dark brown, brown, and nude eye shadows. Line your eyes cleanly, extending the liner outwards to lengthen your eye. Finish off with a clean coat of mascara.
3. Radiant skin
To ensure porcelain perfection, flawless skin was a must for glam flapper girls. To achieve this, apply foundation and concealer carefully. You can also begin by using a touch of shimmer in your moisturizer to give skin an added boost.
4. Glossy lips
’20s girls were all about the lips! They could be either bold red or flirty pink, but what they had in common was clean, impeccable application and bold shine. Start by lining your pucker first to avoid smudging, then apply your lip color of choice. Cover with a clear gloss. If you’re worried the gloss won’t last, just dab a bit on the middle of the lips to amp up the shine.
5. Curls
’20s hair was all about polished style, whether short or long. Use an iron to curl your hair carefully while keeping the crown sleek with smoothening serum. If hair is short, style your curls carefully around your face and lock into place with hairspray. If hair is long, pin your ends at the nape of your neck with hairpins to mock a shorter style.
