Description

Dab on some blush and adjust your hairpiece! Let’s take a jaunt through cinema history—with special focus on movie makeup and toupees in 1920s Chicago. Join Kelli as she traces makeup from cinema’s earliest days to the present. In this virtual tour, you will:

  • Get an overview of movie makeup—its purpose, functions, and why it was mandatory in early film
  • Visit (via original HD footage) a Chicago street and building where toupees were made and sold
  • Meet Chicago’s premier 1920s toupee maker and see how he adapted to trends in both Hollywood and local fashion
  • View historic ads and fan magazine photos that reveal changing standards of male and female beauty

By the end, you’ll discover how makeup and toupees have helped define movie history—and why this unique, image-filled program is one you won’t want to miss.

We believe knowledge must be FREE, available to everyone. Just get your Free pass and ENJOY!
