The Powder Room - 1950's Makeup and style tips

1950's Fashion - Makeup Tips - GlamourDaze


The Powder Room
The sultry secretary style and makeup looks of the 1950's that Madmen Joan Holloway epitomizes is showcased in this beautiful original archive film from the 1950's . The whole film glows with that peaches and cream hue of the 1950's. These women would still turn heads today. That could be Peggy Olsen lighting a cigarette !
We see the women calmly touching up their makeup, nails, fixing hair and stockings in the powder room
while some old grouch, probably from accounts shakes his perplexed head.
It's a priceless snapshot of vintage 1950's womens fashion
