Lady Like Make Up

During the 1930s cosmetic company Revlon started-up, selling opaque long-lasting nail enamel and, Es tee Lauder was set up in 1946. Women flocked to salons to get the latest trends and looks; 4 Beauty helps you re-create this in the comfort of your own home.

Upper eyelashes were laced heavy with mascara, while lower lashes had very little. We love Bourgeois Volume Glamour Mascara(opens in a new window) (£7.99), with ultra soft brush fibers - it plumps-up every lash and gives up to 16 hours hold.

Eye-shadows started at lash line, and in to the crease, then blended upwards and outwards. Eyebrow trends meant they were plucked in to a fine taper-style line, falling at the end; we love Boots Precision Grip Slanted Tweezers (opens in a new window)(£3.80), ergonomically designed for controlled and precise use.

Lipsticks were very popular, although the style was finer and more thinned-out, replacing the 'cupid's bow' of the 1920s. Women often wore a little extra lipstick on their upper lip for the evening, creating a rosebud effect. On trend shades were maroons, dark reds and raspberry tones.

We love Nos Moisture Drench Lipstick(opens in a new window) in Red Carpet (£10), and Ghibelline Colour Sensational Lipstick(opens in a new window) in Magic Mauve (£7.19).

Glamorous new nail lacquers were being made in their thousands. Revlon was the first brand to create opaque nail enamel in 1932, and introduced the (then) innovative concept of 'matching lips and tips' in 1939. To celebrate their 80th birthday, Revlon has launched new shades; we love Revlon Nail Enamel in Bewitching and Fearless (£6.49).

In the 1940s, the key players in make-up were Max Factor, Elizabeth Arden and Helena Rubinstein. Glamour came in a package of luscious full lips, defined eyebrows, and eye makeup was kept to a minimum - with mascara coated lashes being the focal point.

Create a full-luscious-looking mouth; there are plenty of colours to try! Max Factor Global Creative Design Director and makeup artist Pat McGrath says "the Spring / Summer 2012 shows were awash with nods to the past; in a trend that's distinctively 'modern vintage.' So, recreate statement looks with what is today's modern cool girl. McGrath adds 'It's super-easy for you to draw your own lip rules, experiment with recreating past iconic looks. Just be bold, play and draw. Play with textures and finishes, and have fun!'

We love Max Factor Lasting Lip Tint(opens in a new window) in Royal Plum (£7.99), and Urban Decay 24/7 Lip Pencil(opens in a new window) in Wicked (£12) which is a waterproof formula, it's guaranteed to last, and is ultra hydrating. And, Given Ge-lee D' Interdict Lip Gloss(opens in a new window) in Tempting Rouge (£18): it's glossy, smooth, and creates a playful, enticing pout.

Ensure your lashes are the focal point of your face by applying lashings of black mascara, and that eyebrows were full, yet well-groomed, and most definitely plucked to perfection; we love Max Factor Eyebrow Pencil(opens in a new window) in hazel (£4.99), it comes with a little brush, ensuring no stray hairs

Look Taller Today

     

-Dress monochromatically. Wearing all one color is a clever way to enhance the body by creating an up and down line. When someone looks at you, the eye is distracted to look at you vertically therefore giving the appearance of being taller.

-Wear flared jeans. This is trick used by short woman everywhere and even curvy women. Flared jeans give the impression of a longer leaner leg. The best pair of flared jeans are those that are fitted throughout the leg and end at the tip of your shoes. Also make sure that they sit on your natural waist and not below so as not to look chopped.

Wearing the right clothes can make any petite woman look taller.

-Another great way to keep the eye trained to look at you in a vertical way is to wear stripes. Not only does it create long lines but also has a slimming effect.

-Did you know that wearing V neck tops can elongate the body also? Whether you go with a subtle V neck top or a plunging neckline, a V neck gives off the impression of a longer more flattering torso.

-Obviously wearing high heels can make you taller but only if you're wearing the right shoe. A nude shoe is the best choice to show off legs that seem to go on forever. Strappy ankle heels or booties will make some short look choppy regardless of the color.

-Bringing the focus upward can make you look taller so instead of wearing a choker or short necklace. Go instead with longer necklaces and layer them to give your neck a longer look. Top off with a hat to complete the look.

-Color blocking is a hot trend that all short women should be wearing. Not only will it make you look taller it can also make you look thinner.

-Wear clothes that actually fit you. This may be hard for short women because of the inability to find the proper length in clothes but it's worth the extra money to have it tailored to fit. An outfit that doesn’t fit correctly will not only swallow you but make you look smaller and even child like.

-Ditch the big heavy handbags. Big handbags look overwhelming on short women so go with a small clutch or handbag instead. Not only will it make you appear taller but you back will thank you also.

Wonderful Waves. Soooo many women wore this style. It is gorgeously glamorous. For a change of pace, Jessica Chastain's waves were smoothed back on the sides. The real standout to me for this Red Carpet staple was Kelly Osborne's vivid color. Look to Pravana's new ChromaSilk Pastels in Luscious Lavender to easily re-create the shade. A great dry set is an essential start for this classic look. Spray each section with a heat protecting spray before curling on a 1 1/4" ceramic iron. Pin each curl and allow to cool before and brush with a soft bristle brush, directing all the hair to one side. My favorite look of the evening was Julianne Moore's ravishing-red French Twist. Tons of teasing, smoothing and pinning with a final misting of Aquage Beyond Shine will be in order. At some point in

the show, Tina Fey's talented stylist crafted her coif into a similar style. Nights like this when Hollywood starlets walk the red carpet in elegance are super exciting. You just can't top classic style.
