I had posted this in the arts subforum as well and I hope you ladies go easy on me.
I would like some prominent fashion/model magazines from each decade, especially older decades. I would like to learn how to draw certain hairstyles and clothes belonging to the 40s (the brunette curls, lauren bacall style), the 70s (Jane Fonda Sharon Tate Hairspray hair), Y2K (Bjork Hair, Swedish punk clothes, Caramell Girls) etc. What would you guys recommend?
Vogue I guess? Don't know if you can get it for free from the official site but people are autistic about archiving the whole damn thing going back to like 1890 so I'm sure you can find a torrent somewhere.

Vogue was one of the first things google recommended for vintage fashion. They have archives on their site going until 1935 which I think was the first issue. It requires an account so I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
yall… what is the point of lip liner? genuine question. i only see it in two use cases, one where it’s the same color as the lipcolor, and one where it’s a darker color than the lipcolor. the former looks identical to not lining your lips, and thus seems entirely pointless. the latter usually ends up looking foul (why do so many people wear brown lip liner and pink lip color? is unwashed asshole a style trend i missed?). what gives?

It works as an outline and “holds” the lipstick in place, preventing a smudged look around the edges. It can also be used to contour and create a different lip shape. The roast beef lips with the dark liner and pink lipstick is just a trend. Lipliner isn’t absolutely necessary to wear lipstick and skipping it can help create a more diffused look. It adds a bit of polish and makes it a bit easier to create a clean shape

huh! yeah fair enough i didn’t think about that. i’ve never been one to mind a blurry edge on my lipstick but i can totally see why other ppl would care abt that. cheers, thanks
Not sure if this is the absolute perfect thread for this, but a little guilty pleasure of mine is sometimes doing absolutely ridiculous fashion sketches, just for fun!
Here's a recent doodle inspired by a character from a Certain godforsaken webcomic:
If it's not evident I know absolutely fuck all about fashion design theory. And I don't plan on learning! It's more fun this way

I almost never wear lipliner , but lipliner allows you to wear a broader range of lip colors, it will give it dimension or adjust it to your own colouring so it feels cohesive. if you're cool toned and want to wear a fiery warm red for whatever reason, a cool toned lipliner could help in making it look alright-er.
It can also be fun if you want to define your lips, maybe mark your cupids bow if you have one, as well as help the lipstick look tidy for longer, as EmoMom said.
its not a bad tool, even though may not be an element of your makeup you find worth doing
