Hi there

Eyeshadows came in all sorts of colours, as did the lippies, not just the standard reds.

The eyeshadows tended to be earthy colours for the soft smoky look, but there were brighter colours out there.

Loose face powder was a must have if they could get it, the fashion was to have a matt complexion.

The website below should really help you

Hey- does anyone know who the woman is in the 2nd photograph of this link. She is stunning. Is it Heddy Lamar? Vivian Leigh? Anyone?

Yes, I believe that's Hedy Lamarr.
