Get Gatsby Inspired

Have you ever wanted to step back in time?

Well, this 1920’s Great Gatsby inspired look is sure to please!  The roaring 1920’s marked the era of the redefined modern women, movie stars, jazz, the Flapper and Art Deco. Champagne flowed and women adorned rounded, thin, extended brows. Blush was a “rosy rouge” and lips were shaped like ‘Cupid’s bow ‘ in deep red and plum.

The 1920s was the decade in which fashion entered the modern era. It was the decade in which women abandoned restricting fashions of the past for more comfortable clothes such as skirts and trousers.

Here’s how to Get the Katy Perry Gatsby inspired Makeup Look …
