The 5 Minute Flapper: Eyes

Here's the final installment of the 5 Minute Flapper!  This week, spend 2 minutes and learn how to put on a dark, dramatic 1920's eye.

The 5 Minute Flapper: Brows

Hello again!  I'm here with the next installment of the 5 Minute Flapper (although perhaps I should have named it The 5 Minute & 45 Second Flapper, seeing as how those extra seconds add up!).  This week I'll show you in a jiffy how to get those perfectly curved half-moon brows that were so popular in the 1920s with flappers and starlets alike.

This video is only a minute and change, so break out your makeup bag and get started!

The 5 Minute Flapper: Lips

Hi there ladies and gents!  I've been wanting to do some video tutorials for awhile, so I went ahead and put together my first one!  This is the first of three mini-tutorials meant to show you how to transform into a fab flapper of the 1920s, using some simple drugstore makeup.  First up, the enviable 1920s Cupid's bow lip in less than 2 minutes!

Next week:  those brows, baby!

I'm so happy to show you the rest of the photos taken by the wonderful Naomi of Fresh Images Photography!  I've always loved the 1920's (watching Louise Brooks in her prime is still one of the most glorious cinematic experiences ever) and the era made a huge impression on me when I was learning how to my makeup and hair.  I've been hooked on Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries (more on that later), and no small part due to the clothes.  Ladies in the 1920's knew how to dress for fun and for impact, and even though the popular silhouette was commonly boyish, the fabrics and details were very delicate and fanciful.  I came across a fringed sheer kimono that adds a cool Bohemian flapper touch to any dress.  

Here Naomi used the soft sunlight to show off the textures and warmth of the outfit.
