Clara Bow
In my attempt to entertain myself and others I didn't stop with doing Theda Bara make-up. I went on to Clara Bow. Hollywood's headstrong "It Girl" who got widely slandered in her day.
Now, the hard part about this look is…I don’t have much eyebrows but I do have SOME eyebrows where eyebrows are generally found.
I had to watch some drag queen tutorials about using gluestick to stick your eyebrows to your skin and then conceal them. I didn’t have any super fresh glue sticks and couldn’t justify GLUE STICK FOR MY FACE as a reason to go out to a shop.
Like many adventures in eyebrows, one eyebrow was victorious and the other pretended to be a good sport about the whole ordeal.
People have told me the cupid lip really works for me.
My secret? I barely have lips to start with.
I'm not actually making them much smaller, I'm just creating the idea that they have a shape.
And lastly there's this shot...which encourages me to try a face I know I will fall short of...
Lousie Brooks. She's a total babe....with an overdrawn top lip.
