1930's Flapper Inspired Makeup | Using Only Drugstore Products!
What's Up Guys?!
Okay, so to start off I'd like to emphasize that this
is an INSPIRED 1930's Flapper look. It's not an actual
recreation of the look that women wore back then. It's
what I like to call my modern day take on it. Plus, this
look is much more wear able than the "real thing" and
can be worn for special events, a night out with your
significant other, to Prom, or even just on a day you
feel like being a little bold and daring. Also, I'd like to
say that this isn't a step by step tutorial that shows you
everything. It's more of an overview of the products
with a description of how I used/applied them. If it's
at all confusing or your not sure how to do
something, refer to the video below.

Cream Eyeshadow
Step One: Eyes
Starting with the Hard Candy cream eyeshadow, apply
it to your entire eyelid. Then, with a flat eyeshadow brush
pack on the charcoal grey eyeshadow all over the lid where
we applied the cream eyeshadow base. Next, with a clean
fluffy eyeshadow brush, put the orangey brownish color in
the outer "v" of your eye and then into the crease. With the
lightest taupe grey color on your finger, apply it to the inner
corners of your eyes and up on the brow bone. Then, take
that same lightest color on a fluffy blending brush with just
a tiny little bit of product, blend everything together to make
it look nice and seamless. Going back to the charcoal grey,
pack it back on since some intensity may have been lost
due to the blending. With the gel eyeliner, line your upper
lashes as close to the lash line as possible. Take it down onto
your lower lash line and just put the product on the outer most
part of your eyes and with your finger blend the color across
the rest of the area. Then with a kohl eyeliner pencil, line your
tight line to make sure there is no pinky flesh tones peeking
through. Then going back to the charcoal grey again, take
some on the tip of a brush and run it over your lower lash line
to smoke it out and make it a little more sexy. Finally, to finish
off the eyes, curl your lashes and apply a few coats of your
favorite mascara and even add some falsies if you want.

Step Two:
For the face I started off by first clean up any eyeshadow
fallout and then took the e.l.f. concealer and used it under my
eyes to help cancel out any blue tones. Then with the lighter of
the Rimmel concealers, I put this anywhere that I wanted to
highlight or brighten. (Under the eyes, down the nose, cupid's bow... etc.)
After that I put the darker one on any areas that I want to actually
cover and conceal. (anywhere that I have redness, over a blemish... etc.)
With a sponge or your fingers, blend everything out. Next, take the
cream blush on your fingers, apply it to your cheeks and blend
it out with either your fingers or the other end of the sponge.
Then with the e.l.f. blush and bronzer, take the blush on a brush and
apply it where we put the cream blush to add a bit of shimmer to
make the face look healthy and glowing. To add some warmth,
take a little bit (emphasis on little if your pale like me) of the bronzer and
but it in the hollows of your cheeks, around the forehead,
down the sides of the nose, and around your jaw.

Step Three:
To finish things off, take your favorite dark blue-toned
red lip color and put it all over the lips. If you want your lips
to be nice and shinny add a dark blood red lip gloss. Using
the darker lip option will be accurate to the era but if you plan
on just wearing it out for a date night or even to Prom and want
a lip that's not so bold, I suggest a pinky nude. Rimmel's Airy
Fairy Lipstick and NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Creme Pie
is the PERFECT combination if you want a pinky nude.
