1920’s Blue Eyeshadow

[leminoade]

Fun info: eyeshadow and makeup from the 20s was likely this deeply pigmented so they can be captured better by film cameras, which captured in grayscale. Using blue instead of black also allowed to distinguish shadows better and create visual depth.

I love when people find their perfect aesthetic and go for it full force. You look like you stepped off the silver screen circa 1929, and that's wicked cool. Not everyone could pull this off, it's just very much who you are!

About the song!
I found it and it's called "Am I Blue" sung by Ethel Waters! The version playing in this video is in the playlist called "Vintage Vocal Jazz / Swing No. 81 - EP: Shades Of Blue" on her YouTube Music profile! If you search up "Ethel Waters Ray Perry" (On YouTube Music) it's easier to find!

Here's the song:

If that’s from the 20’s we would probably hate to see the ingredient list. However, that color looks AMAZING on you. And, you applied it so beautifully.

My god!! I’m always blown away by how stunning you are!

[Rae_Naeee]

My jaw dropped!!!! That blue is gorgeous

[Valentinathevamp]

If that is truly from the 1920s, she's brave as hell for using it. The chemicals used in makeup and matches back then were deadly.

Hair is everything and so is the shadow and makeup look

My mother loved her blue eyeshadow..
She never wore any other color.
I'd like to imagine she's found the perfect shade & wearing it for eternity 💙

[Bellssprouts]

I’d do anything to find a modern eyeshadow that does this

[jessicasimpsongodschosen]

You just reminded me of my grandma and how she always used to put on blue eyeshadow gave me the best flashback

My great grandmother, who we called Sammie, was born in 1893. I loved to sit at her vanity and go through all of her makeup which was from several eras. This would have been in the mid 60s so there was a whole range of goodies.
