There's a reason the song is about her eyes... Bette Davis had those deep-set, heavy-lidded eyes that she could lift so slowly it made you hold your breath. She was smoldering, temperamental, and a stone cold fox. She had so many diverse roles, and used her facial expressions to capture Southern sweethearts of cast-iron bitches. Her makeup went along with these roles, but classic Bette Davis beauty can be defined as the smooth, seemingly airbrushed skin as a blank canvas, deep red lips and subtly smoky eyes, with baby doll lashes (meaning you don't hesitate to over-mascara your bottom row of lashes, it is okay if they look a bit spidery) and thin, arched brows (classic Flapper style). OBSERVE:
To get her look today I recommend:
- hair curling cream (Apply to damp locks, brush through, then twirl hair into a bun or braids to dry)
- A glossy red lip stain
- Tweezers and eyebrow pencil
- Deep gray or brown eyeshadow
- A medium-full coverage tinted moisturizer or BB cream
- Highlighter
