1950's Pin-Up Look

I feel like I haven't posted on here in forever. Partially because I haven't. Lol. I did this and took pictures about a week ago but wasn't in the mood to do any writing. Without much ado, here it is.


 This era's makeup is characterized by thick, dark brows, heavy, winged liner and a bold, matte lip. There's a misconception that red was the lip colour of the era but any bright colour will do if you're planning on recreating a similar look. Keeping the eyes as neutral as I did was a choice, I did this to make the look more wearable. 




List of Products:

Face - E.L.F Warm Bronzer to highlight my cheekbones

Eyes - The shadows used were from my Coastal Scents Original 88 Palette.

The eyeliner is Coastal Scents liquid liner in Jet.
I used an E.L.F. brow stencil to shape my brows.

Lips - I used Jordana's Kohl Kajal Lipliner in Red to fill in my lips.
I used the coolest red (the one that has more blue undertones) in my Coastal Scents 66 Lip Palette.


Quick Tip: Having more blue undertones in red lipstick helps your teeth look whiter.
