not that i'd do my makeup like that every day or anything. i'm just curious to see how they looked so doe-eyed and sad.How did the movie stars from the 20s and 30s do their makeup?
They're doing a smoky-eye thing. Smashbox cosmetics has some good stuff for that.





However, be aware that just like today - those photos were ';doctored.'; Only the photographers did it themselves with lighting (over exposure) and soft filters (and such) this creates more contrast and that's why they have such soft, striking features.How did the movie stars from the 20s and 30s do their makeup?
They had makeup artists like they do today.
that makeup looks crazy and aging nowadays
