An ode to old Hollywood

A classy look one could pull off for any occasion is the old Hollywood makeup. This was the go-to look for actresses right about when colored films started in production back in the early 1900s.

Old school Hollywood glam makeup is characterized by putting emphasis on eyes, heavy contour and a bold red lip. This was because of the desire to create registry on camera despite films being in black and white. When shooting in black and white, contrasts and textures are more important rather than the concept of color.
