Help to create this look.

I was interested in trying to re-create a combo of:

-- Bette Davis' eye makeup look from the Bordertown film poster (1935)

combined with the makeup style/look from a

-- Tamara de Lempicka painting *("Girl with Gloves", 1929).

I have the same face and eye shape as Bette (my eyebrows are just a little straighter, but same width) and would like to re-create this type of look.

My eyes are green, so I would like to use color (s) that would really make them 'pop'. (Some subtle sparkle is ok too.)

I do not like to use falsies, so I would prefer to maybe draw on a few 'doll-eye' lower lashes (without looking too costume-y). I also like the use of a little color (and shadowing) as well as some shine/gloss common in Lempicka works.

Please feel free to recommend any specific tools, products or techniques. I am more of a visual learner, so if you have any photos or tutorials, that would be super helpful. Thanks so much for reading! :)
