1940's Makeup Film - Face contouring / Lipstick and Hairlines
Archive Tutorial Film presented by Miss Ratherly Stern.
The ideal facial contour is supposed to be the oval.
But some of us have round faces,square faces or long faces.
What can we do to make our faces appear more oval ?

1.Round Faces:
Don't wear too high a neck line. It shortens the neck and increases the effect of roundness!
Hair well off the forehead and flat against the temple !
Thin lipsticks, correctly applied to follow the natural mouthline !
A V neck completes the picture and gives the impression of a little more neck length
to give the impression of an oval face!

2.Square Faces:
Keep away from haircuts that hang in vertical lines near the side of the face and jawline in.This over empasisies the squareness of the jaw.Avoid straight horizontal lines near the face - like thin lips / round or high horizontal necks.
Fill out the lower lip with your lipstick.
Hair should fall in curves around the jawline.
Wear a V neck line to pull the attention down from jaw.
Pure logic when you think about it.

3.The Long / Narrow Face.
Don't wear V necks - This adds to the impression of length.
Avoid Piled up high hair on top of head as this also adds to the length of the face.
Hair should be off the top if the head and fluffed out at the sides to give the thin face added width.Finally a high neck line or choke distracts from the long neck ! Voila !

This is so cool. I love vintage. The 1940s seemed like a interesting time period.

Good tips i suppose, but it kinda bothers me that she claims that there is one correct face shape. I have seen beautiful women with all face shapes :)

[AnnyNorn]

Oh, dear. I looks as though us Long Faces are doomed no matter what we do fashion-wise.

@laspilly LOL They didn't do that because they were poor. They did it because silk and nylon was being used to make parachutes!

Does anyone alive still speak like this?!

The way they used to speak back then was so proper.

I love this, I belong in the 40's. Will be using tips from this video for my vintage business.

@whatsername12 And let's not forget that this glamourous image they wanted to sell was a part of the western propaganda. The real world was very different.

@whatsername12 Extremely poor period. Ladies used to draw a pen line on the back of their legs because nylon tights were too expensive and rare.
