Darlings, how much do you know about makeup from the 20s? 20s makeup was a golden age of beauty, from the ruby red lips and softly rouged cheeks of Old Hollywood sirens to the rounded creases and smokey eyeliner of 20s flapper girls. I often look back on this vintage era for makeup inspiration today.

Discover this 1920s makeup tutorial and create a timeless, twenties-inspired look. It showcases a modern take on the opulence and glamour of the roaring 20s and elicits that born-in-the-wrong-generation sensation.

1920s Makeup Looks: What Was Makeup from the 20s Like?

The 1920s was a time of great change in society with the end of the war giving rise to a more optimistic and expressive era with greater interest in glamorous makeup. As women entered the workforce, makeup was used as a tool for empowerment and lipstick became a symbol of power, professionalism, and beauty confidence.

Defining features of 1920s makeup included the development of cream and powder rouge compacts that were used to give lips and cheeks a romantic, blushed appearance, as well as the wide-spread popularity of lipsticks and lip stains to create irresistible, standout pouts.

During the 1920s – also known as the Roaring 20s – the flapper girl aesthetic was extremely popular among socialites. The flapper girl subculture defied social norms; young women wore short skirts, cut their hair into short, flicked bobs, and listened to jazz music, as well as wearing a distinctive makeup style that often featured ruby-red lips with a pronounced, pouty Cupid’s bow and big, blown-out eye makeup with smokey kohl eyeliner.

How To Get A 1920s Makeup Look

Darlings, discover how to create a modern-day roaring 20s flapper girl makeup look with cherry lips, mesmerising matte eye makeup, and softly rouged cheeks with this magical 1920s makeup tutorial.

  1. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 1 prime skin for makeup with moisturiser

    1. Prep skin with moisturiser

    Prime your skin for your 1920s makeup look by applying my award-winning moisturiser, Charlotte’s Magic Cream. This iconic, immediate skin revival moisturiser helps to hydrate, smooth, re-texturise and plump the look of skin to create the perfect canvas for makeup. Magic Cream is Magic Skin! I never wear makeup without applying Magic Cream, first! To apply, smooth the moisturiser onto the face and neck and massage into skin with my Tilbury Tap technique. Use light, angel wing motions to work moisturiser into skin, then gently tap with your fingertips to help boost absorption.

  2. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 2 apply foundation and concealer

    2. Apply foundation + concealer

    For complexion, keep foundation makeup light to create a subtly perfected base. I suggest applying a light-coverage foundation like Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick to make skin glow while still looking natural. Swipe this stick foundation directly onto your face and use the Magic Complexion Brush to buff and blend until skin looks even and radiant. Build coverage with concealer; apply a colour-correcting concealer like Magic Vanish under the eyes to neutralise the appearance of darkness and discolouration, then apply Charlotte’s Beautiful Skin Radiant Concealer to brighten and create a subtle lift effect.

  3. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 10 apply liquid contour

    3. Hollywood contour

    To get the sculpted look of an Old Hollywood star, dot my Hollywood Contour Wand onto the hollows of the cheekbones, the temples, and the jawline to create the appearance of a more chiselled facial framework. Use the flat end of my Hollywood Complexion Brush to blend this easy liquid contour into the skin and give your complexion natural-looking, sculpt-effect shadows.

  4. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 4 apply setting powder

    4. Tap on setting + brightening powder

    Powder is the secret to making skin look silky-smooth and it can be used to capture that vintage-inspired, 20s look. Tap AIRbrush Flawless Finish into the centre of your face, around your mouth, and under the eyes to remove shine and create a flawless-looking complexion finish. Then, sweep AIRbrush Brightening Flawless Finish onto the high points of your face and under your eyes to create a brightening effect that mimics the beautifying beams of Hollywood lights.

    5. Des sourcils fins comme dans les années 20

    Les années 1920 ont rendu populaires les sourcils fins avec un arc bien défini et une pointe tout en longueur. Pour recréer les sourcils à la garçonne de l'époque, utilisez l'embout micro-précision de mon crayon à sourcils Brow Cheat pour dessiner des sourcils fins inspirés des années 20. Ensuite, venez brosser vos sourcils avec le gel à sourcils teinté Legendary Brows pour obtenir un effet fourni naturel en peignant les poils du haut vers le bas pour accentuer leur forme vintage.

  6. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 6 create a matte eyeshadow look

    6. 1920s eyeshadow look

    Eye makeup from the 20s often featured kohl eyeliner that was smudged onto the lash line to create a sultry, smokey effect and matte eyeshadow that was blown out and blended through the crease.

    To create a classic 1920s eyeshadow look, softly define your eye shape with the neutral shades in The Sophisticate Luxury Palette, then deepen the inner and outer corners and the lower lash line with the dark brown SMOKE shade. Use the matte PRIME shade in the centre of your lid to create a sophisticated cream matte highlight that helps eyes to look bigger and brighter.

  7. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 7 create a winged eyeliner using black liquid liner

    7. 1920s eyeliner

    Take a nude eyeliner like my Super Nudes Liner Duo and accentuate the look of your waterline with a brightening, eye-opening effect. Next, reach for a lacquered liquid eyeliner like The Feline Flick to create a lift-effect wing at the outer corners of the eyes. Complete your 1920s eye makeup with a coat of Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara to give your lashes a dramatic, fanned-out, ultra-volumised look.

  8. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 8 apply red lipstick and lip gloss

    8. Vintage 1920s red lip

    One of the defining features of 1920s makeup was to emphasise the roundness of the Cupid’s bow. To create the perfect 1920s red lip, line your lips with my Pillow Talk Intense Lip Cheat to accentuate your Cupid’s bow and create a beautiful, rose-brown base for your red lipstick. Then, top your lip liner with my Hollywood Beauty Icon Lipstick in Cinematic Red to create a starlet-inspired, cherry-red lip. Add a slick of delectable red lip gloss to make your lips shine like a 1920s siren – I recommend Lip Lustre in Unleash Me as the perfect pop of black-cherry lip gloss to complete your look.

  9. Step by step 20s makeup look tutorial: Step 9 apply cream blush to rouge cheeks

    9. Rouged cheeks

    My lip and cheek tints have rose-gold, mirrored packaging inspired by the rouge compacts used in the 1920s to give makeup a delicate, just-been-kissed rush of colour. Brightly blushed cheeks were everywhere in the 20s; pretty pinks and punchy reds were used to give cheeks that love-blushed look and were even blended close to the nose and lower lash line for a blown-out, beautifying effect. To create a flattering, youthful-looking, rouged appearance, tap Paradise Pink Glow onto the apples of the cheeks with the flat end of my Hollywood Complexion Blush to lift the look of your complexion and channel one of the most popular glamour rituals of the roaring 20s.
