Trademarks for any woman's face in this era was the cupids bow, heavily blushed cheeks and a smokey eye. It was almost unseen of for a woman to be without a splash of lipstick along with this type of look, the tones would mostly be different shades of red and very occasionally browns were used.It was pretty rare to see a woman with long hair like you do now, most women had short bobs. Even so it was still a big deal for them to cut it off as short hair wasn't considered very feminine. American sweetheart Mary Pickford was one woman who did not conform to this trend as weirdly enough she felt too much pressure from her family and fans.
“I could give a lengthy and, I think, convincing discourse about long
hair making a woman more feminine, but there is some doubt in my mind as
to whether it does or not. Of one thing I am sure: she looks smarter
with a bob, and smartness rather than beauty seems to be the goal of
every woman these days.” - Mary Pickford.(Right - http://a5.files.biography.com/image/upload). Curls were also featured consistently throughout any hairstyle as well as finger waves and kiss curls which are little locks of hair that are stuck down around the face and forehead.
