Historical Belle | Following a 1940s Vintage Makeup Tutorial @HistoricalBelle | Uploaded December 2023 | Updated October 2024, 17 minutes ago.
Hello Everyone! I have watched SO MANY make up tutorials from the 1940s and have complied them here to show you the ULTIMATE 1940s make up tutorial. Of course, I share more tips that go along with my face shape, which is a circle, but try to mention what would have been done for others as well.
The 1940's is a mix of glamours with a statement red lip, but also about keeping it natural. Despite many luxuries being rationed due to WWII in the 1940s make up was not. In fact, the British government believed that makeup kept moral up. "Beauty is your Duty" or "Keep your Beauty on Duty" were slogans seen on posters.
The American Marine Corps Women’s Reserve even invited Elizabeth Arden to create a lipstick that would be part of their uniform.
These governments made clear that looking beautiful was a major way in which women could contribute to the war effort and be patriotic.
I tried to have historically accurate makeup for this tutorial, and purchased many products from Bésame which is a wonderful company who reproduces historical make up meticulously for accuracy and authenticity.

This is not sponsored, (I wish it was) I just really like their make up
