1920s: The Jazz Age
The 1920s were all about glamour and sophistication. To create a 1920s-inspired look:
Eyes: Apply a smoky, dark eyeshadow base. Use the taupe biodegradable glitter eyeshadow on your eyelids, blending it into the crease for a smoky, sultry effect. Add a touch of the gold glitter to the inner corners of your eyes to brighten the look.
Brows: Keep your eyebrows thin and well-defined, as was the trend in the 1920s.
Lips: Opt for a bold, dark red or deep plum lipstick to complete the look.
1950s: Classic Elegance
The 1950s makeup focused on a clean, classic look with a touch of glamour.
Eyes: Use the taupe glitter eyeshadow to create a subtle, shimmery eyelid. Apply a thin line of black eyeliner to your upper lash line, creating a slight wing for a classic cat-eye look.
Brows: Fill in your brows to make them look fuller and more defined.
Lips: Choose a vibrant red lipstick to achieve that timeless 1950s elegance.
1960s: Mod and Playful
The 1960s were all about mod looks, characterized by bold eye makeup and playful styles.
Eyes: Apply the taupe glitter eyeshadow all over the lid as a base. Use the teal glitter eyeshadow to create a bold, dramatic crease line, extending it outward for a winged effect. Add the gold glitter eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes for a touch of sparkle.
Brows: Keep your brows well-defined but natural-looking.
Lashes: Apply generous coats of mascara, and consider using false lashes for a dramatic effect.
Lips: Choose a nude or pale pink lipstick to keep the focus on your eyes.
1970s: Bohemian Chic
The 1970s were all about free-spirited, bohemian styles with natural and earthy tones.
Eyes: Apply the taupe glitter eyeshadow all over the lid as a base. Use the gold glitter eyeshadow on the center of the lid and the inner corners to add depth and sparkle. For a pop of color, lightly dust the teal glitter eyeshadow along the lower lash line.
Brows: Keep your brows natural and slightly bushy.
Lips: Use a nude or soft pink lipstick to maintain the natural, boho vibe.
1980s: Bold and Bright
The 1980s makeup was characterized by bold colors and dramatic looks.
Eyes: Start with the teal glitter eyeshadow, applying it generously over your eyelids and extending it slightly beyond the crease for a dramatic look. Add the gold glitter eyeshadow to the inner corners and center of the lid for extra dimension.
Brows: Define your brows with a bold, angular shape.
Lips: Choose a bright pink or coral lipstick to complement the bold eye look.
1990s: Grunge and Glam
The 1990s saw a mix of grunge and glam, with both minimalistic and striking makeup trends.
Eyes: For a grunge-inspired look, use the taupe glitter eyeshadow all over the lid and blend it outwards for a smoky effect. Add a touch of gold glitter to the inner corners for a hint of glam.
Brows: Keep your brows natural but well-groomed.
Lips: Opt for a deep berry or nude lipstick, depending on whether you’re going for grunge or glam.
