Take Your Summer Beauty Inspiration From The Vogue Archive

What better place to look for summer beauty inspiration than British Vogue's extensive photographic archives? In the following photographs, taken for the magazine between the early '50s to the late '80s by the likes of Henry Clarke and David Bailey, the hair and make-up trends of past decades feel just as relevant today. From Cindy Crawford's fresh-faced '80s charm to the perfect manicures and artfully-curled lashes of the early '60s, looking to the past has never felt so modern.
