During the 1930's, there was no bolder way to express your femininity than with make-up. In the early 30's women often had quite a pale complexion, their skin often looked white and waxen or very porcelain with a touch of pink to give the look some life. Therefore powders were applied in rich ivory colours too. Blushes became ever so popular applied during daytime and nightie, with cream rouges becoming popular, followed by powder to intensify the colour.

Gone were the heavy kohl eyes from the 1920's, instead pencil thin eyebrows and bold, red lips became the statement look. Mascara was now a necessity in a make-up kit too. Eye-shadows became more rounded with sweeping lines outwards to enlarge the eye, and cut creases were loved by many women. Colours like blue, green and violet were popular among many of the women during the era.
The lips were made to look a little more thinned out, with extra definition on the upper lip in the evenings for that Rosebud effect. This replaced the bow shape from previous years. The most popular colours were dark reds, maroons and raspberry tones.
