1940s Makeup Tutorial - Part 1

1940's Vintage inspired Makeup Tutorial - Make-Up Designory's Reiva Cruze takes us back to the time of Ava Gradner, Lana Turner, and Rita Hayworth.

Step 1 - Prep the skin using Make-Up Designory's Face Primer (http://shop.mudshop.com/primer ).

Step 2 - Select a foundation tone to match the skin tone. Apply usig the #940 brush (http://shop.mudshop.com/940-foundation-synthetic-brush )In our tutorial, Reiva mixes YB3 with CB2 (for a more in depth tutorial on base-matching foundation click this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4pQkKhDvFY).

Step 3 - Set the foundation with Loos Powder (http://shop.mudshop.com/loose-powder ). Rieva uses the Buttercream color, lightly dusting arounf the T-Zone.

Step 4 - In the 1940s, eyebrows were slghtly more natural looking than in the 1930s (see our 1930s makeup tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjNcXnHJCyc ). Notice that we didn't cover them up with foundation first. Reiva uses her #210 Angle Brush to apply Esspresso Eye Color (http://shop.mudshop.com/espresso ). Use the first brow as a guide to make sure the second one matches.

Step 5 - Eyes were kept clean and bright in the 40's; very little Eyeliner and muted colors for eye shadow. So for this look we use the Taupe Eye Shadow (http://shop.mudshop.com/taupe ) in the crease, starting from the outter corner, then moving in, using the #800 brush in a circular motion to blend. Reiva blends in just a tiny bit of Smoked Sapphire as well.

Step 6 - Using the same Smoked Sapphire Eye Color (http://shop.mudshop.com/smoked-sapphire?sc=2&category=3708 ) and a #210 Angle Liner Brush (http://shop.mudshop.com/210-angle-liner-brush ), start at the outter corner and hug the lower lash line to create a drop shadow.

Not a big fan of primer on what I think of as "real life" skin. Skin that isn't what some think is perfect or flawless when in reality NO ONE has this skin unless they are under the age of 10! Primer on acne/blemished skin doesn't sit right and makes foundation look spotty and cakey looking to me.

@ShaneDownson I think it's mostly because her skin is very dry.
