In the 1920s makeup started becoming a lot more popular because of the start of film, literature, and theater. The main types of makeup worn was blush, mascara, and lipstick. Indelible blushes were very popular. Mascara was only used to make the lashes appear darker and fuller applied with a fine brush. Mascara was made with household products such as petroleum jelly and soot and then applied with the fine brush. Different lip products were first being invented in the 20s, lip stains became very popular along with lipsticks right after for more of a shine. Now makeup is a lot more common. We use foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlighter, concealer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, and lip color of somesort. You can fix just about every flaw you have with a little bit of makeup. Makeup is more frowned upon today than it was back in the 20s. Men like women to look more natural now, back in the 20s they had much simpler looks rather than dramatic and sharp looks now. The makeup industry has grown tremendously since the 1920s.
