Where to get a complete vintage make up look (London)?

[MaggieJoyBlunt]

I was thinking of getting a counter consultation in town. I desperately need a whole new make up look.

But I'm looking for something vintage-inspired (30s/40s) that I can wear everyday.

Is this a job for a counter? Where?

I haven't tried here, but friends have and speak positively of it. It's near crystal palace station.

You're not likely to find vinatge expertise at a counter - but good ones for a new look are Bobbi Brown, Mac IMHO.
Vintage looks can be found via the many blogs out there www.retrochick.co.uk is a good one.
Alternatively you could pay for a vintage makeover - I had a fab set at The Painted Lady in Shoreditch a couple of weeks ago.
I've also been to a makeover day which was fab but really apart from distinct lip shapes, vintage styling tends to be understated shadow, eyeliner, mascara with strong lips - which without the corresponding hairstyle won't look that dramatic!

Thanks. I think The Painted Lady might have gone. I'll check out the Crystal Palace one - their website doen't look as though it's updated much, but if they are retail stockists for a decent range, that could work .

I'm ok on technique (don't need lessons for e.g.) - just want a whole new bag of make- up ( have existed mainly on Besame for four years, but I've gone off it a bit) and need someone who will sell me the stuff with one eye on vintage colour palettes while knowing their stuff skin-wise too.

Oh a couple of weeks ago? (I misread). I'll look them again too, then.

Can you try Illamasqua?

Yes Painted Lady is still there! It's owned by the woman who wrote the "Style Me Vintage" books.

Got a 40s look in JL a month or so ago from the Japonesque lady. And didn't cost me anything!

Thanks. I might try all of these

Also came on to say a makeover at the Painted Lady!
