Art Deco Elegance: Women in Lipstick Ritual

More about Art Deco Elegance: Women in Lipstick Ritual

Two women rendered in an Art Deco style, each with intricate geometric designs forming part of their attire and head-coverings, are depicted applying lipstick. The woman on the left, shown in profile facing to the right, has a gold and silver geometric patterned headpiece and is wearing a dark top. She has blonde, curly hair peeking out from under her headpiece and large gold hoop earrings. Her left hand, adorned with an ornate ring, holds a gold lipstick applicator to her lips. Her eyes are heavily made up with dark eyeshadow and eyeliner. The woman on the right, also in profile but facing left, has a red, white, and black geometric patterned headpiece over dark, curly hair. She wears a silver-grey collared top with a red geometric pattern forming her jacket. Her right hand, with red fingernails, holds a gold cigarette holder with a white cylindrical object in her mouth, resembling a cigarette or another lipstick applicator. Both women have a dark, geometric patterned background behind them, continuing the Art Deco aesthetic. The entire image has a painterly quality with detailed textures and lighting.
