1920s/1930s Make Up: Bette Davis Inspired

"Fasten your seat belts...."

I finally resorted to it. I have been wanting to do a tutorial on the Fifth Warner Brother for a very long time... I guess the only thing putting me off is the fear that I won't do her much justice. But since this week marked the 103rd birthday of Ms Bette Davis I felt compelled to do this.

This particular look is based on the 1934 film "Of Human Bondage" where Bette plays a waitress turned prostitute - so, granted, not the most flattering make up in the world... well, maybe a little more flattering than her Baby Jane look.

Edie Sedgwick Inspired Make Up

"It's not that I'm rebelling. It's that I'm just trying to find another way."

There are a number of women who have sadly had their lives cruelly cut short - and probably one of the most tragic, mysterious short lives there was, was that of Edie Sedgwick. Known as Andy Warhol's muse in the sixties (appearing in a total of 12 Warhol films) and eventhough she was, you could say, a celebutante (as she was part of a wealthy Protestant family) she did become an icon for the alternative sixties culture.

So when it comes to Edie's makeup it was about the eyes... It was all about the eyes. So in my tutorial I have left out the face and lips as you can wear them as you wish.
