80 years of Vintage Lipsticks
Hello lovelies, today I will be discussing vintage lipstick trends from the 1920s until the 1990s.
While makeup trends fluctuate from season to season and even month to month, there is an unmistakable trend that pervades each decade. Popular lipstick shades have frequently been influenced by cultural climates, historical events, and rebellions—periods in which women felt free and liberated or oppressed. We spoke with two celebrity makeup artists to learn more about the decade's dominant texture and colour. They deconstructed each decade, highlighting popular lipstick trends, the global events that precipitated them, and how to recreate the look.
