Retro Make Up by Lauren Rennels

OK Ladies get your copy now.  This book is a must have for anyone interested in vintage styling.  I received my copy earlier this week and finally had some quality time with it and I am so excited about it.  The book starts with a brief history of make up use.  Them moves into tools of the trade as well as techniques. Then goes through some make up looks era by era.   I have to say that so far my favorite part is when she shows how to do a drawn brow without removing your natural brow that was truly an eye opener for me.  If you already have the Lauren Reynolds Vintage Hairstyling book this would be a great companion book for it.  My only wish is that it was a ring format so it would be easier to leave the page open when trying to reproduce a look. If you are not already following Miss Rennels blog I do recommend it as well, Bobby Pin Blog.  The photo below is straight from the blog as I do not have a good scanner at present.  Hope you all had a fine Easter and take care.
