Slightly Hyperventillating

We just got this auction catalog in the mail.
I really don't collect things, but if I did, I'd (try to) own some of these incredible photographs:



Norma Shearer


Clara Bow
(okay, now I am crying a little bit)

(I'm just putting it out there, but my birthday is in November.)

I have to stop looking at these photos now. I'm getting all shaky.

PS. One of my favorite things to do is study the makeup of these gorgeous women. It's fun to recreate the styles and see how you do. You might just wake up one morning and decide you want Clara Bow's lips or Joan Crawford's smoky eyes. (I do.)

Another good resource for experimenting and learning more about makeup artistry are the books of the late, great Kevyn Aucoin. His books, especially Making Faces and Face Forward, are wonderful for reference.

UPDATE, 6:18p.m.: When makeup artists get bored and inspired, and we have no one to practice on except for ourselves.
