At a Gatsby-themed birthday party this past weekend, Jada Pinkett Smith channeled infamous dancer, singer and activist Josphine Baker. Here’s are five things you need to nail her roaring 20’s look.
After applying your foundation, prime your lids and dust your lid with Buxom Eyeshadow Bar Single in Pure Platinum ($12, available at sephora.com). Grab a clean shadow brush and dampen the tip, and press Make Up For Ever Glitters Eyeshadow in Metallic Silver ($15, available at sephora.com) into the center of your lid and extend it to the outter corner.
Use a fluffy blending brush and blend Nars Dual Intensity Eyeshadow in Callisto upward from the crease and on the inner corners of your eyes.
$29, available at sephora.com
Using a liquid liner—we like Illamasqua Precision Ink in Abyss Gloss Black— draw a line as close to your lash line as possible and create a wing and the outter corner to form a cat eye.
$28, available at illamasqua.om
Make your eyes stand out by lining your lower water line with a kohl. Finish the look by defining your crease with a graphic line.
YSL Couture Kajal Pencilin Noir Ardent $35, available at saksfifthave.com
Who says you can’t match your polish to your lipstick? We say, do it! The perfect compliment to your dark berry pout is this gorgeous Essie shade, appropriately titiled, “Luxedo”
Essie “Luxedo” Nail Color $8.50, available at drugstores
The roaring 20s was the age of the lip. It was the height of femininity and glamour and women were sporting bright reds and dark cherry lips without cause—everyday was the perfect day for a bold lip. For the ultimate flapper look, you need a dark lip that’s mysterious and alluring. To capitalize on that “aire de mystaire,” try Tom Ford Lip Color Matte in Black Dahlia.
