Vintage Make-Up Tips

I've recently realized that I have no idea how to properly apply make-up, especially for taking photographs. Whenever I put on eye makeup my eyes looked automatically smaller and I always looked way too pale and unglamorous when I posed in the vintage clothing I sell on Curious Knopf.

Well, all I have to say is thank god for the internet. Last night I got some tips on vintage make-up from Super Kawaii Mama. You can see the results in the photographs above. I'm wearing a fair amount of make-up in both, but it still looks natural and not too made up but also not too underdone. The two videos I watched are below. I like how down to earth she is and pleasant to listen to which is good because she has a lot of other great videos to watch.

Sweet on Slips

I really don't know why slips ever went out of style. Both my grandmother and aunt were pretty old school and they still wore them with most of their dresses when I was a child. I remember trying them on and how smooth they felt against the skin. So many beautiful vintage dresses are sheer and you need a slip to go under them. And it's such a great feeling (not to mention sexy), so much more elegant than some little old tank top. Check out this fantastic video of a 1940s boudoir fashion show:



Amazing! Speaking of slips, this vintage 1950s Gilead nightgown isn't exactly a slip, but it sure is pretty. Just look at that delicate lace and those embroidered flowers.


The nightgown is not my size and also not really my style, but I still think it's absolutely gorgeous, not to mention in mint condition. I do hope it finds a loving home soon where it will be appreciated. :) For a closer look, click here.
