1920's Fashion Comeback !

Vintage 1920's style is on the way back again !
Loose-fitting dresses embellished with loads of fringing and beading are beginning to regularly pop up in fashion shows. Art Deco shows and 1920's themed partys seem to never go out of vogue. Hollywood is in love with the era again with films as diverse as The Changeling and Peter Jacksons King Kong emulating the late twenties early thirties period.

Max Factor

Truelly the inventor of Glamour !
He invented the term "makeup," based on the verb, "to make up" (one's face).
To millions of women all over the world today, the name Max Factor goes hand in hand with beauty,fashion and above all glamour!
I started collating a timeline of makeup and glamour only to realise that it almost goes hand in hand [ with just a few exceptions] with the inventions of Max Factor Snr.

In 1914 he created the first cosmetic made specifically for motion pictures!
It was a form of thin greasepaint.

In 1920 he developed the "Color Harmony" principles of makeup, which held that "certain combinations of a woman's complexion, hair and eye coloring were most effectively complemented by specific makeup shades."

Cosmetics

Post World War One , the Flapper look came into fashion and with it came cosmetics: Dark kohl eyes,Red lipstick, Red nail polish and it was fashionable for women to use bleach to keep their skin a pale milky white - in otherwards a good palette for cosmetics!
