Timeless Makeup For Every Woman

By Catherine Santino

Though trends seem to come and go every single day, there are a handful of beauty styles that stand the test of time. These looks were set in place by beauty icons throughout history, and will undoubtedly be seen for decades to come...

Top 4 Timeless Beauty Looks For Every Woman: 

1) Red Lipstick: 

Made famous by icons such as Marilyn Monroe, red lipstick is a look that will simply never go out of style. It is such a simple and easy way to enhance any makeup look. If you want to emanate classic Marilyn, pair it with subtle blush and fluttery eyelashes.

2) Full Eyebrows: 

This is a look that is making a very strong comeback as of late, and one that was perfected by the one and only, Audrey Hepburn. Full eyebrows really help to frame the face, creating a stunning look no matter what makeup you choose to accompany it. Audrey often left the rest of her makeup pretty simple, or paired it with a smokier eye. 

3) Hair flowers: 

This look was made famous by Billie Holiday wearing gardenias, and I think it is such a simple and beautiful way to add a bit of glamour to your look. It is something we are still seeing today, and I don’t think it necessarily has to be summertime to take advantage of this classic look.

4) Smoky Eye: There have been countless beauty icons to sport a smoky eye, but one of the most well-known and most glamorous is Elizabeth Taylor. Her dark eyeliner, sometimes paired with a blue or purple eyeshadow, is a dramatic and classic look that I don’t see going away any time soon.

These classic styles passed down throughout generations will continue to be seen again and again because of their simplistic nature and gorgeous effect. They suit any skin type or face shape, and can be used in both casual and elegant makeup looks. Thanks to these icons, we can count on these looks being utilized for a very long time. Until next time fashionistas, stay beautiful, glamorous and true to yourself, xoxo.
