GET THE LOOK: A SINGLE MAN'S JULIANNE MOORE

STEP BY STEP: Get Julianne Moore's makeup Look from "A SINGLE MAN"

I was given a request to post on how to do Julianne Moore's makeup from the TOM FORD directed masterpiece, A SINGLE MAN. I will do my best for them and for you. This is vital 1960's fashion.
Very Chic and stylish. I'm my attempt to  create a step by step how to do makeup, i am going to be pretty vague on specific products as to let you play and create form your own stuff.

So here we go!

1. SKIN
Julianna's skin looks very natural as you can still see her freckles on her face. So try a Tinted moisturizer, make sure it contains SPF please. Then set it with some loose powder for a matte finish, i would suggest Makeupforever's HD Finishing Powder.

2.EYES
 For your eyes start by using a pale eye shadow across the lid, you can choose how dramatic you want to go, i suggest using something matte finish, maybe try Smashbox Vanilla, MAC paints in Bare Canvas or the IT stick from Benefit.

a. again with a matte finish, take a dark shadow to the crease of your eye and contour to create depth leaving the top lid white. examples Sable, deep Purples?

b. Line the top of the lid winging it out at the end, i like Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner pen, its amazing for doing winged liner. Line the under eye with a charcoal, brown or black liner and smudge just a taste.

c.  Line the insides of the lower rims with a white liner pencil, there are some great ones out there too.
MAC Pale Yellow is awesome.

d.  layer on your favorite mascara and apply a strip or a few individual for pop. start center and corners

3.  CHEEKS
I think cheeks are not center stage in this look so use something soft , a cream blush would be great, id say try TARTES Tipsy


4.  LIPS
And to top of this look apply a natural lipstick, nude or pale coral would be sweet. oh and i can't believe i am saying this but no gloss, try a lipstick  with luster.

There you go I hope That was helpful!

Who New That Sunless Tanning Was So Desired In The 1920's

The 1920's was a time when women started to grow  and have more freedom after four long years of war. As the films grew, the impact of popular actresses started to influence how women looked at beauty. Women started to bob their hair and the desire to keep thin to follow the "boyish body" that was the trend in fashion magazines at the time. Wearing a pale complexion with blushed cheeks was all the rage for cosmetics. The term vamp comes to mind, pale skin, red lips, bright cheeks & a page boy haircut!  Until the divine moment that Coco Chanel appeared in public with a slightest  glow of suntan, that our obsession with darker,"sun kissed" skin was  set into fashion. And today we still desire the Coppertone tan, weather its a tanning bed, mystic tan, bronzer or the good old fashion way, a beach day
