Fancy those dark, high arched eyebrows of the 1950s? The smouldering red lips of the 40s? 60s Twiggy eyes? Or maybe you've got a penchant for the vampish looks of the 1920s? If so, this could be the book for you.
Lauren Rennells, the author of Retro Makeup, has a passion for the stylistic influences of the past. Working in the film and photographic industry she freelances as a hair and makeup artist. Rennells shares her professional techniques for recreating the makeup effects from the 20s through to the 60s, in a detailed, easy to follow format.
Interestingly, the widespread use of makeup really only occurred in the 20th century and the author touches on why it gained acceptance during this particular century.
