Beautiful tat and expensive junk.

Evening, fabulous people.
I don't usually mix my devotion to vintage things with my internet rambling, but as I always say, "what's life without whimsy?"
So today, let me give you a short and sweet little look into my world. Only thing is, it's me. It probably won't be very short, you know how I love to go on about that which Fatherbloke calls 'tat' and 'junk'...quite beautiful tat and relatively pricey junk, thank you, sir. Where shall I start?
Let's begin with the facey and curly side of things, because I think most of you reading are of the female variety. How good am I- writing for my audience... you're welcome, dolls. Now, I think some other time I will give you a nice long, in depth version of what I'm about to tell you, but for now 1940s style makeup:
Slightly darker (liquid) foundation with lighter powder (I go for 'translucent', to be utterly sure it's paler than my actual skin, and you can mix it with talc if your foundation is quite warm, plus the talc will make it last longer), you can use powder or very pale/white eyeshadow, and then muted brown or grey eye shadow in the crease of the socket, black or brown mascara (but make sure you use eye lash curlers before so you get the right shape, and flick the wand to the corner of your eye and up so you get a sort of wide eyed look), pink rouge with slightly red or peach undertones (just follow your cheekbone and follow into a tiny circles directly below your eyes), forties brows are natural in thickness and have prominent but not unatural arch to them, to make them stronger use eyebrow pencil, brown eye liner or eye shadow.
I would go in for pin curling and the like but I think I would tire you out.
Tata for now, all.
Daphne.
