The Glamour Gazette
Pull up a chair and stay awhile.
The Glamour Gazette is the magazine shelf of the Starlight Library—a collection of stories, discoveries, and delightful curiosities from the world of vintage beauty and glamour. Here you'll find forgotten beauty tricks, fascinating finds from the past, Hollywood history, vintage fashion, and the little everyday details that bring another era to life.
Part history, part inspiration, and part leisurely reading, the Glamour Gazette is a place to wander, discover something unexpected, and perhaps borrow a little wisdom from the women who came before us.
Beauty Archives
Step into the Beauty Archives, where the fascinating history of cosmetics and personal beauty is preserved and explored. From the rouge pots and powder compacts of decades past to the lipstick shades, hair rituals, and beauty routines that defined an era, the Archives uncover how women created glamour with the products and possibilities available to them.
Discover how beauty changed through wartime shortages, shifting fashions, Hollywood influence, new inventions, and changing ideas of femininity. Explore original advertisements, forgotten products, historic beauty advice, cosmetic innovations, and the techniques women used at their dressing tables every day.
More than simply a look at what women wore, the Beauty Archives explores why they wore it, how they achieved it, and what beauty can tell us about the time in which they lived.
The Beauty Archives is our ever-growing collection of vintage beauty knowledge—a place to research, learn, and rediscover the artistry behind the glamour.
