1950 was the decade after world war 2, there is a shortage of men due to loses fro war and women tried everything to get a husband such as make up which helped them to look and feel better.
Make up during this time was so important that everyone wore it, 1950s make up was very elegant and strong and it is the classic red lip that is still popular today.
Eyeshadows came in variety of colours such as grey brown gold blue green purpule ad pink eyeshadows were applied minimal and usually one colour at a time they applied it to the lid and carried it to the outer v to elongate the eyes. Matte and shimmery colours were extremely popular. even though make up was popular it was still made to look natural. Black eyeliner with a flick was also very popular as it created and almond shape to the eye and elongated it even more, black brown grey blue green purple eyeliners were available.
At the start of the decade eyebrows were dark and strong but still natural looking but in 1952 the eyebrows became softer with a stronger arch.
The lash line was also tighlined to make the lash line look thicker. Mascara was very popular and was applied only on the upper lashes as they wanted the eyes to be larger and brighter.. A great foundation base was a must have, it came in liquid and cream and powder. Everyone desired a flawless complexion and was applied very heavily. Blush was used very naturaly and was never a bright red or pink colour. In the 1950s they drew outside of the normal lipline to make lips look fuller. Lips were the strongest element of the 1950’s and there were a variety of different red shapes like true reds to dark and orange reds.
