My go-to rouge placement, from an obsolete antique 1930s makeup manual. I consider myself a risk taker [barely] toeing the line of my comfort zone. After placing beauty marks to break up the symmetry of my face years ago, I tried 1950s feline rouge placement for a few months and it elongated my face in an unflattering manner.
I immersed myself in 1950s beauty culture from 12 years old.
I felt like a fish out of water trying a new makeup technique I brushed off as archaic early on due to antique beauty culture being in short marketable circulation compared to 1950s beauty that constantly cycles due to pop culture, and massive amounts of public knowledge allowing for reproduction.
I leaped out of my comfort zone replacing nose contour and bronzer for rouge!!
Once it’s on in the morning, nothing is being wiped or washed off to be redone.
My oval-heart shaped face has a new vitality from a surprising rouge placement I apply universally for a cinematic, hypnotic look, to an oddly charming effect that is bold without being egregious.
