That (the "lips are pure 1943" thing) is a beautiful thing about costume design and one of its flaws that I love -- in order to appeal to contemporary audiences, the "ingenue" (or young/sympathetic female lead) will 99% of the time (unscientific numbers to make my point) have contemporary makeup even when all other characters save the male lead are given painstaking period accuracy. Makeup, and hair to a slightly lesser extent, will always be contemporary for whatever era is making the film.

That's definitely something I've noticed. You can date a movie by its makeup even when its set in another time period.

This is constantly happening in the '70s period pieces I watch. It's long, loose, usually wavy hair for the female lead, regardless of the setting. Or sometimes you can see lots of long hair in an era when that wasn't in fashion-- watch the Ian Carmichael Lord Peter Wimsey series, and you can see that the art department is struggling to compromise with all these 1970s actresses who didn't want to cut their long hair. Soooo many buns. They were worn in the '30s, to be sure, but not in that proportion. Every woman in the ad agency in "Murder Must Advertise", I swear.
