1920s makeup fotd and tutorial

Hey guys, sorry that it's been so long since I've posted...Pretty busy over here.

I was challenged to do 1920s makeup by a few friends, I really enjoy how it turned out. There are a few traits that were commonly seen within 1920's style makeup:

very thin arched brows that turned downward

deep plum lips

lips were very defined. Cupid's bow was accentuated to be made taller, and the width of the mouth was de-accentuated.

bright pink blush on the apples of the cheeks

very dark eye makeup both above and under the eye.

Products used:

-Eyes

MAC Shadows: Beauty Marked, Sketch, and a tiny bit of Cranberry

MAC Smolder eye kohl

-Skin

MAC studio fix fluid

MAC studio fix powder

MAC fashion frenzy blush

-Lips

MAC Currant lip pencil

MAC Scene lipstick

Check out my youtube channel for the tutorial.
