In Honor of Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall died at 84 on August 13th. Bacall is most known for the movies she did with her husband Humphrey Bogart. The actress's deep voice and striking bone structure immediately set her apart from other leading ladies of the time. She didn't let directors talk her into straightening her teeth, shaving back her hairline, or taming her eyebrows. She was proud of who she was and didn't change herself to please others. Her signature look was her shoulder length hair parted deeply on the left side and then pinned to curve around her cheekbones on the right side of her face and her wide mouth which she gently accentuated with only a bit of color to make it look like she was wearing lots of lipstick, but she never wore a ton of lipstick, she just had naturally shapely and dark lips. She was a beauty icon in the best way; representing a strong breed of women who are proud of who they are.
