1920' Flapper Smokey Eye Look

1920's inspired smoky eye. 

I recently went to a 21st which was a 1920's themed party, I chose to go as a flapper girl which meant makeup fun. Below I have broken down the steps of how I created my smokey 1920's eye look. Simple yet intense.

I did my eyes before the rest of my face as working with black eye shadow usually come with a lot of fallout and can gt messy very quickly.

To begin I placed sticky tape from just under my lower lash line to the end of my brow to create a nice sharp line. I then primed my eyes with Lime Crime Eye Shadow Helper in Waterproof. 

I applied Maybelline Color Tattoo in 15 Audacious Asphalt to my lid and up my crease to intensify the black shadow. I then went in with my Inglot matte black eye shadow through my crease first and blended it out, smoking it up my brow bone as much as possible. I also bought the black onto the outer third of my lid. Once I was happy with the amount of smokiness I highlighted my brow bone with Inglot eye shadow in 395 which is a champagne like colour and blended in into the black. I patted the royal purple shade out of the Chi Chi Rich Gems Glamorous Eye Shadow Palette onto the lid and made sure it was intense. After this I went back in and softened any lines between the black and purple with a fluffy blending brush. I highlighted my inner corner with Maybelline Color Tattoo Pure Pigment in 25 Wild Gold and blended this softly into the purple. I went back in with the black and a small smudge brush and pushed the black into my upper lash line.

To finish the eye look I removed the tape and cleaned up any fallout. This is when I primed my face and applied foundation and concealer. Once my under eyes were concealed I was able to go in under my lower lash line and apply the matte black shadow to the outer third, the purple to the center and the gold around the tear duct and just under the lash line, blending it all together for a smooth transition.

I applied Dior Diorshow Extase mascara to my top and bottom lashes and placed Model Rock Lashes in 747M as close to my natural lashes as possible.

For brows I used my NYX Eyebrow Cake powder in Dark Brown with an eyebrow brush and secured my brows with Gorgeous Cosmetics Brow Fix.

These are all the products used for the completed look.

Here is a look at my completed costume. The flapper dress is from Costume Collection which is an Australian costume company with next day shipping. All jewelry is from Lovisa except my bracelets which are from Mimco and Loyal watch.

Playing with costumes and elaborate makeup is so much fun. What have you done for a costume party? Let me know in the comments below.
