1940's Style

The Christmas program at church this year is I'll Be Home for Christmas and is set in 1941, just prior to the attacks on Pearl Harbor. As a choir member, our costumes are 1940's style dress. Although this will be challenging to accomplish, I am have fun researching hair styles and make up. Here are a few of the pictures I have found.

I love the creamy skin tones, neutral eye shadows and bold red lipstick colors. I think a key component to the 1940's hairstyle was that it was worn away from the face. This last picture (below) is not a 1940's style, but the look is just as glamorous, in my opinion.

This is my mom's senior picture from 1960. She is still just as stunning today. Love you mom!
