I came to realize that a 1920's eye was not as dark as i initially thought. The focus was more on the long eyelashes and cupids bow lip. Some women would line their eyes with black kohl and smudge it out onto the eyelid, green and turquoise were also a popular colour but more so for those that perform or for an evening look.
I came up with this design after looking into some more iconic 1920's women like Clara Bow and Greta Garbo. The eyeshadow is a little more light but still has some definition with a darker brown in the corner and also making the upper lash line darker by "tightlining", which is lining the upper line of the eye with a pencil. I noticed a trend in a berry coloured lip rather than a postbox red so I decided to go with that. I want the eyebrows to be thin with a slight roundness too them as I don't want the look to come across too theatrical I want it to stay true to the era. I am still exploring the option of fake eyelashes without making them look too over top and keeping them as natural as possible.
