Beauty Through The Decades: 40s!



It's Monday! Are you ready for today's Beauty Through The Decades post?! Today's look is from the 1940's featuring Siri from Scribbled with liner as the guest blogger! Make sure to stop by her blog, have a look around and say hi! I was excited for the 40's look because finally a decade where my eyebrows aren't an issue! They did not need to be pencil thin for this look.
 Let's start off with Siri's look. 


Doesn't she just look lovely?! 

Here is a list of products she used to achieve this look.
  • Urban Decay Eyeshadows: Foxy, Walk Of Shame, Naked2, Tease

May I just add that her hair is adorable! My hair was not liking the 40's style!

My look

For my 40's hair I tried to do the bold side bang they had going on but like I said my hair just wasn't digging 40's style because it did not want to corporate at all! For this look I wanted to keep it super natural with the shadow and really let the brows, lashes and lips have the spotlight. I just used a light tan color on my lids. I did not define the crease with any colors. Just a swipe of eye shadow and that was all. I used a liquid liner to create a winged looked. I filled in my brows the way I normally would with my e.l.f. eyebrow kit. Of course for my lashes I packed on my Wet N Wild Megalength mascara. I naturally have pretty long lashes so I used multiple coats just to exaggerate them.


I used a bright pink blush by L.A. Colors in blushing pink. For my lips I used a red lip liner all over then I added one coat of Revlon's Colorburst lipstick in Coral on top. For some reason my lipstick looks a little pink in the first picture. 

Don't forget to head on over to Siri's blog Scribbled with liner and check out her 40's post!

Next Monday I'll be rocking a 50's look with another lovely blogger! Stay tuned!
