1940s hair and makeup tutorial

[Music] hi everyone my name is Louise Jung I'm a makeup artist for film fashion and television and I'm luleå Shepherd and I'm a hair stylist in the film industry and I'll do a lot of teaching last year we wrote timeless a century of iconic looks and in these videos we're going to be showing you some of the looks and how to recreate them first of all I'd like to thank everybody that bought the book and especially our industry colleagues who really welcomed it with open arms so thank you for supporting us today when we do in several looks of the 1940s taken from the book and I'm just going to show you how to construct all different hair styles with one basic look makeup wise in the 40s it was actually quite simple look but really important to get the shape of the eyebrows and the shape of the lips correct this is a basic 1940s look that I'm doing here I'm using hot sticks to do it and I think she'd always set slightly tighter than you want to comb out so I'm using the bigger ones on this and not rollers and as you can see I'm setting it in the direction that I want the hair to go so slightly back just put a little bit of setting lotion and then you work away slightly forward which will give you your wave and then always keep your party there because always had parties and what I'm going to do is just set the size and you see the sides are going in an upward direction the reason I angle them is because you don't get any section marks from your rollers that's the back so as you can see I've kept the the crown area very flat because I don't need any lift and and just taking the rollers down you can't actually take the first layer in an upward direction because that gives you a dip in your wave when you comb out but that's so basically it really just taking the sides up at an angle but on an upward direction and the back keep the flat crown and go straight under or you can do the first layer going upwards as I said to give you that dip those wise observing these things like pancake in the forties but I'm just using a base or same color and it's a skin and I've concealed under the eyes and at least a stamp out over the top Brow's this is really important to get the arch well shape so I've colored them in with black brown powder and an angled brush and you can see the shape this is the key thing if you get it slightly wrong it looks more modern and there's lots of reference pictures for this so really get some there were different shapes one or two but really more like Lauren Bacall she had a more arched angled shape but this rounded shape was very common here is the base color over the idea they kept the eyeshadow very natural on the whole sometimes people don't wear it at all I'm just using a base color to smooth out over the eyelid and then we're going to use a very subtle eyeshadow close to the lashes I'm using a liner this is a cake liner and it wasn't flicked this is one of the biggest misconceptions people do big flips for the forties but that was actually in the 50s they came so just a liner close to the eyelashes and you can use a pencil for this Brown and so I'm going to just go over that line to make it an almost watery line because they often doubled up with their black mascara as liner again they would've used a black mascara at the time that sometimes I still use a block mascara and she's readily available and blush or Rouge onto the cheekbones and the thing that really makes it a forties look is when we add the lips now I'm slowly taking the curlers out try not to drag too much a little bit of serum on your hands always it's a good thing I start with the top I don't brush at this stage don't brush it all out for this look I'm gonna roughly put in the waving at the top as you can see it sort of goes on its own really because it's been sitting the right direction so I put a little bit of backcombing at the roots and take it back at the sides a little bit then and then this is when I back brush it see this is when the finger waving comes in you push it and push the waves in with your fingers and if you brush back and then push forward and you get your wave on top I found a nice little slide for the side and auntie approaches slide so I'm putting the lips in I'm just getting the shape with a lip pencil first and this is key it was this really that she over drew the lips quite a lot in the 40s if you look at images from the time they really did overdraw the lips but the main thing is to get the rounded shape and you can do it by rounding from the corners of the mouth and taking it in with the other look that was some people copied it was really from Joan Crawford was kind of a smear of lips across without hardly any dip in the middle and that makes people look quite kind of mean but I'm just going for a nice pull around a lip here and red and popular brands to a Max Factor of course codeine I'm just going over this to make sure we've got that shape it's always best to finish after the makeup because you can see more what you're doing so I'm just smoothing it out a little bit getting the wave that little kicker will wave at the front see what I'm doing I'm pushing back and pull it forward but be caught young girl style yes definitely definitely younger stuff there is a finished look and again it really really simple makeup wise and and but beautiful is something girls could wear now yeah definitely it's like a young Katharine Hepburn p.m. now look number two the back is basically the same but I'll redo it again from the beginning and so again put a little bit of backcombing it's same set haven't reset this this is coming from the same one so I'm trying to get a little bit more height on top and I take the sides into it as I'm working and as you can see I'm combing up towards the top and back home in and then I wind it around my hand you'll see in a moment and taken in the backward direction and then you can wind it around your fingers so if you keep your hand close to the head you won't mess up your your wave and then if you just push forward like I did there once you push forward you that you get the wave and then you see I've just did that around my thumb didn't I so just work it up towards the top with a few little curls do the same the other side and again take it up towards the top again wind it around my fingers if you keep your hand close to the close to the head you won't you haven't got so far to go and then you pin from the front and always put your hair grip really up high so therefore you don't actually see the grip and here I'm just going around the the edges of the mouth to make sure they're sharp with a powder foundation just over drawing the lips a bit more but really the makeup didn't change as much as in the 40s as much as in some of the other decades sight the 6dc lots of different stars I changed a bit but but you know basically I think everybody can recognize the forties makeup just keep it clean so there it is quite simple the waves are still there and considering you know I had a different style before there's still a lot wave there and this is style number three and the front is basically the same again but we just tie it back so we just weren't doing that one simple thing makes it look quite different and we've a leader a period nineteen forties hair salon it and to do that top wave always remember to brush back and push forward now this is another look this one's lovely Burton he's got a nice twist at the back it's sort of a bit like a figure of eight with a little bit of a difference really clip one side you twist it around your finger and you see more from this side have done it and twist it round and pin it through and that's where your pink curling comes in to mow because if you hadn't learned how to pinko you wouldn't be able to twist it around your finger like that this one I'm adding a little bit more so it's more of an evening look I think and I'm not going to add some lashes and I think one of the reasons I think people think they were flicks in the forties is when you look at the images especially the Hollywood images they had these very long lashes that almost looped down and they look like a flick but actually it was just the lashes and just going over the line but still not flicking it out I mean from quite a simple style isn't it by just changing that back it makes it look much more glamorous and maybe first like the older woman as well it's beautiful I know it so I'm like you could wear that on the red car yeah good and this is another style again so again it's this the front is very similar again and I'm just taking this I'm just twisting them back up and securing it with some hair grips I always put a Griffin first and then with your PIN you could secure into your grip and it will stay there but if you try to put your PIN in without that grip there it would slide up slide off you won't be so secure so again that pink earlier comes into you put it around your fingers and they used to use combs a lot so you push your combs in really high and it's all at the top of the head you can make up most of the same as we did before and previously we kept those lips really rounded or slightly ever drawn and the lashes make it more glamorous [Music]
