Book Reviews of Make-Up -- 1930s Beauty Instruction and Technique
Book Review: Fantastic!
Summary: 5 Stars
I think that this is a real "treasure" for everyone who loves makeup.
This book is VERY USEFUL for professional makeup artists but also for everyone who is moving his/her first steps in the wonderful world of makeup! You can find not only gorgeous tips on makeup (unbelievable how useful are the ones for hands and ears), but for hairstyle and colours too. I'm very happy I found this book. Perfect for everyone who loves makeup and for everyone who loves vintage makeup and hairstyle, even if the makeup instructions are very contemporary and totally useful even today. This book allows us to understand that the real beauty is everlasting.

This rare makeup and beauty book contains detailed instructions and illustrations for makeup application as worn by women of the early 1930s.

The author gives you a listing of items to stock on your dressing table and then the lessons begin: rouge below a long nose; eye shadow on double chins; where to place rouge on a broad face; cosmetics for the light blonde; how to groom eyelashes; where to place rouge on a narrow face; cosmetics for the golden blonde; eyebrow grooming, shaping, pencilling; how to place rouge on a long, oval face; cosmetics for the chesnut brunette; how rouge is applied for a youthful effect; cosmetics for the spanish brunette; rouging the ear to give width to the face; how to wear the curly, longer bob; cosmetics for the light red-haired type; lipstick for full and thin lips; extending eyelid line; eyeshadow for emphasis; suit your coiffure to your profile; cosmetics for the titian-haired type; rouge for elbows and hands; variation of the short bob; cosmetics for the gray or white-haired type; nail care and filing; arranging hair of awkward length; perfume selection and application; and much more. For each cosmetics section, the author covers colors for rouge, lipstick, powder, eyeshadow and mascara based on your hair and skin color. Filled with fantastic 1930s tips and tricks, this book is sure to bring you not only an authentic guide for re-creating that fabulous 30s look, but also a great piece of nostalgia.
