Here is a thorough understanding of what propelled 1920s flapper makeup into the world of stardom:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Skin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: At the dawn of the 1920s, a flawless, porcelain complexion was the epitome of beauty, a stark contrast to later decades&#8217; sun-kissed skin ideals. Achieving this look begins with a smooth canvas; apply a primer to ensure your makeup remains intact through dances and dramas alike. Follow with a full-coverage concealer, slightly lighter than your natural tone, to brighten the complexion. A dusting of pressed powder adds that final touch of vintage elegance, reminiscent of the old-world charm.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Rouge<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The cheeks told a story of their own in the 1920s, with &#8220;Rouge&#8221; bringing a dramatic flair to a woman&#8217;s makeup. The era&#8217;s limited blush palette meant that a medium pink shade could provide a naturally flushed look, a nod to the exuberance of the time. Apply the blush to the apples of your cheeks, blending outwards for a seamless, vibrant glow.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Beauty Marks<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Adding a beauty mark can transform your look, channelling the allure of silver screen legends like Jean Harlow. With a simple flick of eyeliner, place a faux mark on your upper lip or beneath an eye, adding an element of whimsy and sophistication to your flapper facade.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is a beauty mark a mole, or is a mole a beauty mark? Find out more about the differences between <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/beauty-marks-and-moles-difference\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beauty marks vs moles<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Eyelids<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The smoky eye look of the 1920s, albeit less intense than today&#8217;s standards, focused on accentuating the eyes with strategic shadow placement. Begin with a lighter base on the lid, adding depth with dark brown or black shadow at the corners and crease, creating the illusion of larger, more expressive eyes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Lashes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Eyeliner and mascara were key to achieving the flapper&#8217;s captivating gaze. Before <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eye pencils<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> became the norm, innovative techniques were used to darken and define the lash line. A smudge of black eyeliner extended slightly past the lids&#8217; natural line, coupled with mascara on both top and bottom lashes, adds depth and intensity to the eyes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Lips<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The flapper era&#8217;s lip styling was bold and unmistakable, with red being the colour of choice for any glamorous outing. To replicate the iconic &#8220;Cupid&#8217;s Bow&#8221; look, start by outlining your lips with a liner, slightly exaggerating the curvature of your upper lip. Fill in with a deep red or berry lipstick, staying true to the era&#8217;s signature style.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can learn more about flapper girl makeup in this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecollector.com\/1920s-flappers-ladies-jazz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">overview of flappers<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1920s flapper girl makeup is not the only iconic period we have explored &#8211; check out our deconstruction on how to achieve the perfect <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/1940s-makeup-how-to-achieve-the-perfect-look\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1940s makeup<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_Of_Flapper_Girl_1920s_Makeup\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types Of Flapper Girl 1920s Makeup<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were many styles that were popular in the 1920s, and here are our picks for what type of flapper girl 1920s makeup dress ups that you can use for social events such as Halloween.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_The_Classic_Flapper\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.

Layer on the Black Eyeshadow<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The smoky eye is synonymous with flapper glamour. Apply a matte black eyeshadow across the eyelid and into the crease. Use a blending brush in small, circular motions to diffuse the shadow, ensuring a smoky, yet soft, edge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Smoke_Out_the_Lower_Lid\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Smoke Out the Lower Lid<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intensify the drama by smudging black eyeshadow across the lower lash line. A dense smudge brush is perfect for applying and then blending the shadow for that iconic, sultry look that defines flapper eye makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Line_the_Eyes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Line the Eyes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A winged eyeliner adds definition and depth. With a black pencil liner, trace along the upper lash line, and extending slightly beyond the outer corner. Soften the line with a smudge brush to achieve the desired lived-in look that&#8217;s both mysterious and inviting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Tap_on_Some_Eye_Gloss\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Tap on Some Eye Gloss<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For that wet, glossy finish, dab eye gloss over the lids. This step revives the matte eyeshadow and liner beneath, adding a modern twist to the vintage appeal. The gloss should be applied gently to avoid shifting the eyeshadow.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Apply_False_Lashes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Apply False Lashes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No flapper look is complete without voluptuous lashes. Choose a set of dramatic, fanned-out false lashes to accentuate the eyes, lending an air of 1920s extravagance to your look.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Define_the_Lower_Lashes\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Define the Lower Lashes<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Apply black mascara to the bottom lashes, focusing on separation and length to complement the top falsies. This step elevates the eyes&#8217; allure, making them the centrepiece of your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/makeup-products.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">makeup products<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Conceal_the_Lips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Conceal the Lips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before defining the lips, apply a thin layer of concealer to blank out their natural colour and shape. This technique sets the stage for the exaggerated Cupid&#8217;s bow that is emblematic of the flapper style.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Draw_on_a_Cupids_Bow\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Draw on a Cupid\u2019s Bow<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a lip liner, sketch an exaggerated Cupid\u2019s bow on the upper lip, slightly over-drawing at the centre to create the illusion of fuller lips. This step is crucial in achieving the distinctive 1920s lip silhouette.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Fill_in_the_Lips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10. Fill in the Lips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finalise the look with a deep, burgundy lipstick, carefully filling in the outlined shape. This rich, vibrant colour pays homage to the flapper\u2019s preference for attention-grabbing lips, sealing the makeup with a kiss of history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If tattoos get in the way of your ideal 1920s flapper girl look, we recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/tattoo-covers.html\">tattoo cover up makeup<\/a> to achieve your wanted results.<\/p>\n<iframe  id=\"_ytid_20002\"  width=\"750\" height=\"421\"  data-origwidth=\"750\" data-origheight=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GzHhD2-bNfE?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flapper_Girl_1920s_Makeup_Defined\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Flapper Girl 1920s Makeup Defined<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-4390\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1920s-flapper-makeup-monochrome.jpg\" alt=\"1920s makeup flapper girl monochrome\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1920s-flapper-makeup-monochrome.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1920s-flapper-makeup-monochrome-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/1920s-flapper-makeup-monochrome-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1920s flapper makeup is more than just a style; it&#8217;s a statement.
