What did they use in World War 1 for makeup eye shadow and colours?

Answer 1

It was very nice

The style was dark and strong as the lighting was poor strength, gas lighting was the type of lighting used for film and Photography so the make-up had to be strong to be visible, it was fashionable to have a strong red lip in the shape that you would think the female had a permanent pout. This era was the end of using dangerous and poisonous white lead powders but was still fashionable to have fair skin. It was also fashionable to have softly curved thin eyebrows and a soft flush of color in the cheeks. Try search pics of Clara Bow this will give you a visual aid.

Answer 2

One kinda interesting makeup women used in World War II was leg makeup. In the late 1930s and 1940-41 (before December 7, of course) women could get nylon stockings that had a seam running up the back of the leg. They were really expensive so they were seen as a luxury. When the war started you couldn't get these stockings, so women would use makeup to make their legs darker and to draw a fake seam up the backs of their legs.

Face makeup was pretty simple: mascara, a pink-tinted pressed powder (because many women never saw the sun--they worked 12 hours a day, six days a week, making war materiel to help defeat the Axis) and bright red lipstick. No eyeshadow or blush.

During World War II, makeup was still popular among women, but due to rationing and other restrictions, cosmetics were not as readily available as they are today. Many women had to make do with limited supplies, and some even had to resort to making their own makeup.

Here are some common makeup products that were used during World War II:

Rouge

Eyebrow pencils

Mascara

Lipstick

Overall, makeup during World War II was more limited in variety and availability, but women still found ways to make themselves look their best with the resources they had.
