Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Hairstyles with Step-by-Step Techniques
There are certain classic styles that withstand the test of time. The look of a beautiful hairstyle from 60 or 70 years ago is just as eye catching today as it was then, maybe even more so today. They remind us of a time of elegance and femininity. This book shows how to create so many of those hairstyles. I have revised and revamped the book of worldwide popularity Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step by Step Techniques to be even more informative and fun. This 2nd Edition takes hairstyles from the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s and breaks them down into simple, easy-to-follow instructions. It uses over 750 brand new photographs and illustrations and detailed directions in a 200-page full-color book.
The book begins with the basic elements and works its way back to advanced techniques. Chapter one describes the tools and products used throughout. Chapter two offers detailed instructions on creating different curls, including the pin curl, the basis for many vintage hairstyles. Chapter three breaks down the proper way to comb the curls for the effect including creating fingerwaves, Marcel waves, victory rolls, pompadours, and waves from pin curls. The fourth chapter of the book provides step-by-step start-to-finish detailed instructions for 33 different hairstyles created with different hair lengths and textures. The final 2 chapters provide ideas for hair accessories, makeup and nails to finish the look.
Not only a manual, it is also fun to read. The Finished Styles chapter of the book contains coffee table book quality images of models with their finished hairstyles. Sprinkled in introductions and throughout the book are interesting facts about the history of hairstyling, origins of styles, and information about the starlets and performers from the golden age of Hollywood who made the hairstyles popular. Classic Hollywood stars like Jean Harlow, Rita Hayworth, Veronica Lake, Marilyn Monroe, and Elizabeth Taylor all sparked very powerful hairstyle trends.
No matter your skill level or hair type, Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step by Step Techniques has something for everyone. If you are just looking for a hairstyle for a special occasion like a period wedding or a style to go with a vintage prom dress, Vintage Hairstyling has both up-do options and options for a longer hair look. And swing dancers looking for a style for dancing will find many options with staying power.

The Book Retro Makeup: Techniques for Applying the Vintage Look Makeup is so common today that many of us do not give a second thought to its beginnings. During the formative years of the early and mid-twentieth century, cosmetics developed greatly and became what we are most familiar with today.
Each decade of this time period had its own style of makeup; its own signature lips, eye makeup, rouge techniques, etc. This book shows the changes in makeup styles over these decades and provides practical, easy-to-follow steps and guidance in recreating a vintage face. By using the trends in shape and color of a specific decade, emulating a time period is even easier and better replicated.
Lauren Rennells has written Retro Makeup as a companion book to the internationally successful Vintage Hairstyling: Retro Styles with Step-by-Step Techniques. That does not mean this is the same book, only about makeup. With countless hours of research, a multitude of interesting facts about makeup style during the early and mid-20th century was unearthed and are provided in a fun, colorful layout.
This 104-page full-color book starts with a brief history of makeup during the Victorian and Edwardian Eras and then provides practical knowledge in applying makeup to help better use the information provided in each decade. It then jumps into full details about makeup styles during the 1920s, 1930s, 1940, 1950s and 1960s, with each decade having its own dedicated chapter. Each decade has information on historical events and innovations in products that were affecting makeup trends, popular shapes, and colors. Also in each decade are start-to-finish instructions on various makeup looks made popular by movie stars, models and beauty magazines of the time.
No matter your skill level or makeup goal, Retro Makeup has something for everyone. Whether you are researching for a theatrical production, hosting a time period party, or just love the look of beauty of a specific decade, this book will not disappoint. It is as much fun to read as it is to apply the knowledge it provides.
