War, And Fashion Magazines

Besides hairstyles, makeup was an enormous influence towards Australia's fashion. During the 1960s, makeup changed drastically. Eyes became the main feature of the face and false eyelashes and mascara became popular to use. Eye shadow was also worn mainly in blue, green, and brown and eyeliner was worn in thick and dark colours for a dramatic effect. Lips usually included pale shades of lipstick with glitter. All of these were popular amongst young female adolescents especially after seeing models like Twiggy and Jean Shrimpton using

"But it is not recorded that, in a single instance, her skill was called in aid to embroider the white veil which was to cover the pure blushes of a bride. The exception indicated the ever relentless vigor with which society frowned upon her sin." (75).

One of the things used in the 1600’s was cow fertilizer. They would use it to put in on their face like as mascara. In my opinion I think that’s just disgusting. It’s also dangerous because it can have bacteria and it can make you sick and it can cause your face to go worse. The ones who used this type of makeup were the ones who actually started to wear what’s called “Makeup”. They used it to cover their face from things. For example, it was like clothing for all over your body. The ones who first started to wear makeup would do whatever to try to make it and they would also use whatever to finish it and apply it on their face. Back then people were addressed by the “lower class” “middle class” and “upper class” right? Well I didn’t know that makeup was addressed the same way, but it was. I honestly never thought that was right. I don’t think that’s fair

Cosmetics: In 1909 Gordon Selfridge had opened the first cosmetics counter to allow women to ‘try before you buy.’ By the 1920s, every pharmacy and department store in the world included makeup counters. The previous stigma attached to makeup was gone and women felt at ease scrutinizing the latest powders, vanishing creams, pan sticks, lipsticks and mascaras (or mascaros as they were known in the 1920s).

All of these women had an enormous impact on various areas of fashion during the 1920s. Whether in a couture fashion house or on a Hollywood movie screen, they were all able to create or universalize styles that would remain in the fashion industry for many years. In a decade of great change for women, these are a few of the many who spearheaded change through their use of fashion and accessories. They became icons for the many flappers and other women living at this time. Many of them are still remembered and referenced in today's media and

Before the Roaring Twenties, women were still wearing floor-length dresses with corsets, and crinolines, arms and legs were covered, hair was long. This Gibson girl look was set the standard for beauty, fashion and manner. And the Victorian attitudes toward dress and etiquette created a strict moral climate.

By 1925, people were able to hear about the latest fashions on the radio and see them in the movies. This influenced them to buy what was considered “trendy”. Newspapers and magazines such as Vanity Fair and Vogue began printing ads and columns about fashion. What a person would wear would determine their place on the social ladder, even if they weren’t born into that position. A distinct look was known as the “flapper”.

with veils that floated across her face…looking like an African bride” (67). Her face is described as

The 1920’s was known as the Roaring Twenties, the Jazz Age and the era of wonderful nonsense. There were many changes that occurred during the 1920s. Women lives’ changed with the 19th amendment, working outside the home and fashion. Other changes were the Jazz Age and Prohibition. After World War I, Americans wanted to go “Back to Normalcy.

The 1920’s were influential as it resulted in the change of the world including the daily violence of Al Capone, Prohibition, and the St. Valentine’s Day massacre. Many of what occurred in the 1920’s affected what we stand and believe in today.

The political and economic crisis of the 1930’s strongly affected the way women dressed. The harsh situation in the country forced them to abandon fancy trends (in clothing, accessory, beauty department) in favor of the simplicity. Women quite often looked up to the glamorous Hollywood movie stars for fashion and beauty inspirations. However, the upcoming war stripped them of this sole way to escape the grim reality of day-to-day life. The hard times that emerged at the end of the 1930’s with the upcoming war on the horizon translated into simple and practical clothing.

Even back in Elizabethan times, female actors painted their face white to show them as part of the aristocracy. Shakespeare himself was a make-up artist, and most likely would have used makeup to distinguish his characters. That being said, the Oompa Loompa’s and Willy Wonka were in full makeup and wigs, which made the lack of makeup on the rest of the characters stand out more.

This was something both men and women did. Again, there people today who still like this look and dress in this manner. In the early 90’s makeup for women usually contained dark red lipstick as a staple. Even blue frosted eye shadow was a hit. By 1997, blue eye shadow was still in, but shiny lip glosses replaced the red lipstick (1990’s in fashion). There are some older women that still wear the blue frosted eye shadow, but you won’t see it often and you know these women were a product of the 1990’s. The dark lipstick is a favorite in stores and still many teens today like the dark

It was not only till the Nineteenth century where makeup became gender inclusive to society and became a women dominated industry. As the years progressed society was conditioned to think that makeup was made for women. Outside ancient Egypt women had done above and beyond to enhance their beauty to become better suited for a mate or to be considered beautiful. Before makeup was even introduced to world, women went to the extremes of using burnt matches to darken their eyes, using berries to stain there cheeks and lips, and even swallow oxblood to improve overall complexion. And if it wasn’t for the help of social media, men would still be struggling to this day to get the cosmetic recognition that they deserve. Gender roles has always created social boundaries for not only men but for women as well.Women have also dealt with the hardship of trying to be accepted in a society. Since the nineteenth th century restraints of not being able to vote, or work has carried on to the Twentieth century. Women are taken seriously when it comes to sports or having physical strength. Till this day women are making less on their paychecks compared to men. Both genders have their disadvantages and both deal with trying to break the labels that have been created. A new societal culture is happening and regardless of gender the traditional constraints that have been created it is becoming less significant in not only the

Like clothing, the 1920‘s also took a great tole on women’s accessorization, the use of cosmetics, and tanning. Some popular accessories girls wore were long strand of pearls, bangles, dangling earrings and furs. The strands of pearls were normally looped a few time around the neck. Long straight fur coats without curves became very popular (Women’s Fashion Accessories). Women began getting their eyebrows thinned to emphasize a younger face. They started wearing make up around the eyes to make them look larger. Lipstick became popular to accent the upper lip and depth of the lower lip. Because women wanted to change their look with makeup, the makeup market started booming during this decade. Although you could buy makeup, few women still made their own makeup. They used soot for eyeshadow and petroleum jelly mixed with soot for mascara. Women began to wear heels, the most popular being the ankle-strap cuban heeled shoe. They wore brimmed hats, such as a cloche hat to finish their look. Later in decade, more headbands with feather were being worn instead of brimmed hats. This look coming from the
