EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black-and-white photograph, the enchanting Olive Borden gracefully applies a coat of lipstick in the mirror, adding the final touches to her stunning makeup for her role in the film adaptation of the popular stage play, "The Monkey Talks." Produced in both London and New York during the roaring 1920s, this silent comedy-drama showcased the glamour and allure of the era. Borden, a renowned actress of the time, is depicted in the image with an elegant air, donning a flowing tutu and a demure expression. The table beside her is adorned with an array of makeup essentials, including a compact mirror, powder puff, and various cosmetics. The reflection in the mirror captures her meticulous application of the lipstick, her fingers poised with precision and grace.

Makeup became an essential part of this transformation, with cosmetics companies introducing innovative products and techniques to help women enhance their natural features. Borden's dedication to her craft is evident in this image, as she carefully applies her makeup, ensuring that every detail is perfect for her role on the silver screen. The photograph captures the essence of the 1920s, showcasing the glamour, elegance, and allure of the era.
