Until the late 1940s, all newsreels had to be voiced by a male voice-over. And if the subject was aimed at women, by a condescending male voice over !
Still - the film is charming and the vintage 1930s make-up styles of British ladies are great to look at.
Making up is an art - if only one knows how !
and continental beauty experts say that one must be able to size up a face aswell !
In otherwards - make-up is made to measure !
1930s make-up Contouring.
With a perfect oval face - this triangle marks the very limit of operation !
When the forehead, nose and chin are of different length - the cheeky triangles shaped accordingly.
Thus making up with make-up in what the face lacks in uniformity.
The effect is seen in these two women.
On the left - bad make-up - on the right - good !
1930's Lip make-up look.
Now the lips - this is where we get warmed up to our subject..
If the mouth is not so cupids bow-ish and the lips are a teeny bit heavy
- you should slightly exaggerate the middle to form a V, and avoid colouring
the extreme ends.
The middle V can be enlarged to shorten the space under the nose.
and the ends left severely alone again.
