I am curious in knowing where Marie received her cosmetics and hair rollers from? I am sure they came from friends, and not purchased with Charlie's (family) money. I bet Charlie was very strict on her wearing make up and hair accessories (just a thought).
Also, going by the family portrait, you can tell that she is a little "dolled" up more than her mother. She definitely has on rouge and lipstick. Fannie must not have worn any make up.

Charlie must have approved of the jewelry and make-up because he let Marie wear it for the family portrait and if he didn't approve of it I feel sure he would not have allowed her to wear it no matter who bought it. After all she still lived in his house and he would have insisted on her obedience to his rules.

Do we know if Fannie owned any jewelry and/or makeup? She seemed very sheltered, so I assumed she just went natural.

Marie was marrying age. Fannie was already married. Fannie did not need to be "dolled" up.

That is so odd to me when women, sometimes "let their self go". Why would you not continue to look your best and "be yourself after marrying? Women do it all the time now a days too. Sad really. I know that Fannie had alot on her plate with the children, house work and farming......but Marie and the girls could have helped her out long enough to get dressed up occasionally.

This would be a great Question (Marie wearing makeup) to be answered by the minister who has visited our message board. He would have some good insights on what role the church played in a women wearing make up. I wonder if the church had strict rules on wearing of makeup or dancing? Marie was on her way it is mentioned somewhere to a church function with Charlie Wade Hampton so, would think she stuck close to what was appropriate.

It was the 1920's. Some women were bobbing their hair, wearing makeup and seeking their independence' It was the age of the flappers and some women love to dance and did go out dancing. The fashion for the ladies of the day was bobbed hair, shorter hemlines and no waistline! You can just surmise the church was acjainst this fashion.
As for Fannie she looks much as the traditional women of that era, hair parted in the middle or pulled straight back in a bun. She was a very pretty lady as was Marie.

Well I figured in those days, it was frowned upon to wear makeup. That is why I was curious about Marie. Especially the way she is depicted in the family portrait. I just found it odd that Marie could get made up for the picture, but not her mom. This makes me think that Marie did this often.

She was a young, lovely girl so I think she would have wanted to be in fashion much as our young girls want to be today.

Good guestion iluvnumber3, I thought Marie had alot of make up on in the picture also. I can remember when i was small back in the late 40's and 50's my mother looked alot like Fannie with hair pulled back and she would only wear alittle of rouge on her face. The man of the house hold back then may have been against their wives wearing alot of make up, I know my Dad was with my Mom. Time has really changed.

Looking at the portrait, I always thought Marie's hair looked pretty fashionable, much closer to what I think of with a flapper than I expected. She definitely has some make-up on, though very tasteful and not excessive. I'm with ladybug, I too would love to hear one of our ministers or church historians to say what they thought or knew was typically allowed in the church, either primitive baptist or other denominations.
