How to Apply 1930s Makeup
“Tweeze eyebrows very thinly, with the arches pronounced. Do this only if you are a die-hard 1930s makeup fan and are certain you don’t mind that your brows may never grow all the way back. If not, and you are simply attending a costume party, you can either wear a 1930s-style hat that covers your brows or look into using eyebrow sealer and other cosmetics to prosthetically cover existing hairs. If you take the latter step, you can draw on your desired brow shape. If your brows are already on the thin side, you can still use them as part of your 1930s look. Simply define them, exaggerating the arches, with a brow pencil or powder slightly but noticeably darker than your brow color. Set brows very lightly with a minute amount of baby oil to make them shine.”
