Makeup in Chicago style of the 30s - be in the trend of fashionable ideas!

Remember what the famous American actresses of the beginning of the last century looked like? And what in modern films portray the stars of Chicago cabarets? A long dress, a deep neckline on the back, velvet gloves to the elbow ... The ideal image of a woman was created with utmost care, because at that time the canons of female beauty were significantly revised in society. The ladies paid a lot of attention to the hairstyle (much more than each of us today). Shoulder haircuts, neat styling from large curls and rich hair colors were in fashion. And also - the most clear lines of the eyes and lips, which complement the incredibly effective image.

Today, Chicago-style makeup from the 1930s is back in trend. Along with other currents, for example, Smokey Ice makeup, he remains one of the favorite among modern fashionistas. Each of us can feel like the queen of a party and conquer a man with just one look.

How to apply makeup at home

To apply makeup in the Chicago style, you will need:

• foundation - at least one tone lighter than your skin tone;
• shades of dark shades - black, dark gray, asphalt;
• shades of light shades - pale purple, pearlescent;
• black cosmetic pencil;
• applicator for applying and blending shadows;
• rich black mascara.

Significant attention in this makeup is paid to three components: expressive eyes, bright lips and perfectly clean pale skin. Therefore, to create the image of the Chicago diva in advance, take care of clean skin.

To get rid of black spots a couple of days before the party, visit the beauty salon and go through the cleaning procedure. At home, you can use a scrub from one teaspoon of sea salt and two teaspoons of sour cream, or a mixture of finely ground coffee with kefir, mixed in the same proportion.

Pay attention to the eyebrows. They should be thin and neat. And their color should match the tone of the hair. Correct them with a cosmetic pencil and fix the shape using eyebrow gel.

Classic 30s Chicago makeup technique

This is a classic version of Chicago makeup. A little later we will tell you about a more modern version of it.

1. Draw the horizontal line with a black pencil along the entire length of the movable upper eyelid. On the outer part of the eyelid, perform horizontal strokes - 4-5 thin lines.
2. Apply intensely dark shadows to the entire upper eyelid. Use the most saturated color - dark gray or asphalt.
3. Blend the pencil and eye shadow carefully and carefully. The lines drawn with a pencil should not be noticeable, and the place of their application should remain several times darker than the rest of the eyelids.
4. Near the bridge of the nose, follow a wide line with black shadows. Thanks to her, the makeup will become a little angular.
5. In the middle of the moving eyelid, apply some light purple shadows over the dark ones. So you slightly lighten this area and give the look grace.
6. With a black eyeliner, draw a clear arrow along the growth line of the lower eyelash.
7. Thoroughly color the eyelashes of the upper and lower eyelids, paying more attention to the cilia on the outer corner of the eye. You can stick false eyelashes extended to the outer corners.
8. Make up your lips with bright scarlet lipstick.
9. Place a neat mole-fly near the lower eyelid or above the lips.

30s Chicago modern makeup

The second, modernized version of the Chicago-style makeup is applied using shades of purple.

1. Apply dark purple shadows on the upper movable eyelid.
2. Over the dark layer, apply a lighter shade of the shadows of the same color.
3. Draw a clear arrow on the lower eyelid with a black pencil.
4. To create a clear and angular shape of the upper eyelid, attach pieces of adhesive tape to the corners of the eyes. So you can give the shadow layers a sharp distinction. Apply a layer of shadows 2-3 shades lighter above the main violet tone. Continue the line down to the eyebrows. Remove the tape.
5. Color your eyelashes well. Makeup is ready!

As you can see, to become a fatal beauty, you need very little effort! Complete your look with a spectacular dress with a deep neckline on the back and pay enough attention to the hairstyle. And rest assured, the stylish look of the Chicago diva will bring you popularity at the party!
