Listen up beauty queens, this Monday morning we’re going to treat you to a beauty-inspired history lesson... With the forthcoming cinematic adaptation of The Great Gatsby, the roaring twenties are currently having a bit of a beauty moment. Backstage areas at the Autumn Winter 2012 shows were littered with 20’s inspired garments – flapper fans eat your heart out – which were accompanied with equally fabulous beauty looks to match. Think pristine set waves, slicked down side partings, hair clips galore and a pale pallors and perfectly rouged lips a-plently. So chic!
To celebrate this twenties’ fabulous fashion frenzy, makeup maestro and Creative Director of No7 Lisa Eldridge has developed a limited edition make-up collection which will allow you to channel your own version of the ‘Daisy Buchanan’ look.
Aptly titled ‘Deco Darling’, there’s a Loose Powder Highlighter, £12 to buff your cheeks into a luminous golden glow, an Art Deco-style embossed Eye Palette, £10 which gives a nod to the dark and dramatic eye make-up of the era and a new Stay Precise Liquid Liner, £8 so you can smolder with the best of them. And tah dah! A lick of ‘Love Red’ Lipstick, £9 will add a sleek bit of pizzazz to your get-up, while the more demure Daisys out there can brandish a ‘Modesty’ coloured pout.
With nails treated to a dose of the dusky ‘Speakeasy’ shade or the outrageous, glitter disk hued ‘Daisy Darling,’ £5.50 each, Lisa Eldridge has given us everything we need for our twenties get up. Totally worth the wait, girls.
‘There’s a look for every woman. Whether you want to opt for a dramatic eye or add a subtle touch of shimmer to your cheekbones, the No7 Deco Darling Collection will leave you looking and feeling as elegant as scenes from T he Great Gatsby,’ notes La Eldridge herself.
With the collection set to launch on October 31st, we think we have just enough time to try and ensnare Leonardo DiCaprio – soon to play Gatsby in Baz Luhrmann’s cinematic adaptation – for our ultimate twenties accessory. One can dream dahling…
