"...from a shimmer shadow to an eye lined flick...get ready to pout" with Make-up By Jo
Inspiration from the 1940 and 1950 make-up for me is watching old movies,
for example, Sabrina, Roman Holiday, Breakfast at Tiffany, Cat on Hot Tin Roof,
Some Like it Hot, the list of movies is endless looking at photographs, images
of film stars during this era.
Make-up during this era had a slight different element from each decade.
1940 make-up.
Skin was matte and contoured. The eyes shaded slightly in a neutral brown
tone to socket and liner to the outer corner but only taken to the last outer
lash. The eyebrows were more angled and shaped straighter with a fuller volume.
Lips were overdrawn in a "balloon" shape from the cupids bow. The colours
were soft the eyes and the lipsticks shades were a softer raspberry and
reds.
1950 make-up
Skin was matte and contoured with a light hint of blusher high on
cheekbones. The eyes defined with a shimmer shadow and neutral tones with the
liner to outer corner and a slight extended into a flick. The eyebrows are
curved and soft compared to the 1940 more of a arch. The lips again overdrawn
and taken from outer corners to mouth. The colours similar to the 1940 with
more red lipsticks.
Make-up brands that i use vary from all ranges from Ariane Poole, Estee
Lauder, Lancome, Bobby Brown, Jemma Kidd, Nars, many more. I will be offering 40's and 50's make up trials at The Wedding Institute on Sunday 29th April, so grab yourself a ticket and join the queue for a little flick of eyeliner and red defined lips.
See you there....

Tea With Ruby Ponderings - Just A Tea Cup?
It's only a teacup; or is it? You see them most days and use them to have
your Earl Grey on a morning to get the day started; that cup of tea that gets
you through a hard day or the last cup to relax you curled up with a book
before bed.
But have you thought about the teacup and
what other uses it has? To me a little
teacup has many a different role. As a china lover and stylist I'm going to let
you all into a secret of how the humble teacup can play a part in your big day.
Their form, decorativeness, and most of all
darn right prettiness all lined up in a row can make a fabulous statement
giving a table at your reception a vintage twist. Bringing an element of delicate colour that
can mix extremely well with any scheme creating an relaxed feel.
You can place a teacup at each setting
filled with favours for your guests, or to attach their place names, or maybe
use them as a planter so each guest can take it away and cherish.
Your dessert can be served in them; from cupcakes or ice
cream, to sumptuous mousse ~ most decadent.
They can simply be used as a table
decoration or grouped together as a table centre filled with flowers.
So next time you take your teacup down from
the shelf on a morning, just stop for a while and wonder what else that little
teacup can do!

Tea With Ruby Ponderings - To Theme or not to Theme
Are you passionate about one particular
colour or item in your possession that sparks an idea of solely using that
palette as an overall theme for your big day?
Take for instance blue and white and the
current falling back into fashion of willow pattern. You either love it or hate it but personally
I am in the rather do quite like camp.
It conjures up many a happy memory of having tea at my grandparents when
I was a girl. Sentimentality aside an
overall blue and white palette would create an uncomplicated crisp and fresh
feel to a wedding.
Maybe a splash of red or mustard yellow
tones by adding an odd flower or ribbon bringing a touch of patriotism
especially with the up and coming Jubilee celebrations taking place in June
this year. What a perfect time to
introduce such colours.

Dotting blue flowers in your bouquet, azure
50's inspired bridesmaid dresses, crisp white table linen, lace table runners,
each setting with blue and white china, blue bottles filled with blooms even
down to wearing blue shoes with your ivory frock.
