Matching a makeup look to an art deco wedding means different things to different people. You might go for a 30s look (finger waves and all), or create a more general noir, old-school or vintage look with some 1940s styles. Or perhaps you’re taking overall design elements from art deco, but your heart is with the long hair and romance of a Gibson Girl and Art Nouveau. But if you’re going with a pure 1920s wedding theme, nothing beats the classic flapper style.
There are loads of YouTube makeup tutorials for achieving a flapper look, ranging from fantastic to frightful, but this one from Kandee Johnson is a fave. She looks gorgeous, she doesn’t use ten million products (or products that cost ten million dollars) and she’s fun to watch.

Just ask our previously featured art deco Hollywood style icons Myrna Loy, Louise Brooks and Clara Bow… So today I’m posting because I came across a really excellent video …
Hello all! Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far. I’m very excited about tonight’s return of one of the most stylish shows on television, Boardwalk Empire. This is a show that started out looking pretty, but being not-so-great (in my most humble of opinions), but by the end of last season it was …
Out and about recently I saw a girl with the most amazing art deco manicure, and I immediately realized: of course, NAILS needed to be a post! Can’t believe we haven’t done it already, though we’ve had some posts featuring 1920s Makeup… but check these out: If you’re planning your wedding, you’ve probably already thought …
