Looking for ways to change up your makeup? Wanting to learn some new beauty techniques? Just want to start dressing more vintage? Lately, I’ve been really inspired by vintage makeup looks, and I’m sharing my favorites today.

It’s interesting to see how much makeup changes over time and how you can create some very different looks with the same products that you already have. It could even be a fun idea to spend a week trying a new vintage beauty look each day!

You could also consider incorporating an aspect of a vintage look into your normal makeup routine, or changing up the colors in one of these looks to match your style! I think we tend to think that vintage makeup has to be reserved for formal events and costume parties, but it’s also an easy way to make sure you stand out in your everyday life.

I’ve found five tutorials, each from a different era, that you can follow to create your own vintage makeup looks! So, keep reading to get some fabulous vintage makeup inspiration…

HOLY SHIP | Modern Marie Antoinette makeup transformation

While not entirely historically accurate, this Marie Antoinette-inspired makeup look is so much fun!

Compared to other tutorials for this era that focus on making the skin very pale and using lots of light pink blush, I feel like this look would actually be something you could pull off in 2020.

The bold eyeshadow or pink mascara would certainly make any outfit look way cooler — you definitely don’t have to rock everything at once.

To make the full look easier to wear, just tone down the blush and you’re good to go.

2. ’20s Flapper

The twenties are one of my favorite eras for fashion, and this tutorial can help you get the iconic flapper look.

A dark red lip and smoky eyes are simple, so you can achieve an elegant result with this vintage makeup look even if you aren’t the most confident in your makeup skills.
