Today’s post is all about the deep, abiding love we have for that smoky eyed, pouty-lipped flapper look. Sugar and spice is a perfect embodiment of the flapper style, and I absolutely adore modern variations on the dark eyes and red lips of the era.

We’ve posted before with a video tutorial on achieving a more precise 20s makeup look, but there are so many different ways to do this well. For example….
Absolutely gorgeous! Doe Deere walks you through the steps she took to achieve this look, including the greyish blue smoky eyes and these UNBELIEVABLY PERFECT lips.

Speaking of wedding appropriate, I also absolutely love these two looks from Jean-Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2009 show. This first is a beautiful Louise Brooks homage. Wearable and elegant and simply gorgeous.
