Today's makeup routines seem to be getting more and more complicated with each new craze that surfaces on the internet. I can't even get the hang of contouring without strange tips and methods popping up every day. Honestly, I prefer to keep my look simple when I leave the house for the day. Apparently I should have been born back in the 1940s! While I've always had a thing for the decade based on its music and movies, this tutorial highlighting the popular beauty routines young girls used back in the swinging era makes me think I could have fit right in with the classy, no-fuss lifestyle.
Starting with washing off old makeup, the guide recommends using cold cream. I remember my grandma using that on her face every night. And after seeing the results on her and in this video, I'm totally going to grab some for myself. The focus on hygiene is something that never goes out of style, and a clean face always is the best foundation a girl can ask for! It might look a little silly with her hair pinned back in a towel, but you can't deny the methods still hold up.
Next, they highlight a three-step routine for makeup application. The foundation and powder is nothing I haven't heard before, but I'll admit I've always been baffled by blush. I can never seem to get it right. This system using three points totally makes things easier. And the lipstick method is genius, too!
It just goes to show that no matter how much trends may change, the basics always stay the same!
