Inspired by the Vintage!

After my post about vintage I kind of got excited about recreating the most characteristic makeup looks with current products. And this is where the idea about designing a booklet on evergreen looks came from. Here I will be posting the results of my experiments featuring my roommate Krisi as my gorgeous guinea pig. The first look we did was inspired by the 50’s and the Marilyn era, when the pin-up girl became the face of fashion.

To do the 50’s we actually did not need to buy any new makeup product. The priming we did as usually with concealer and foundation, but we used a little bit more, really going for a porcelain complexion. For the eyes we used a nude shadow for the base and a brownish one for the crease. The lower lid is lined with brown eyeliner and for the winged eyeliner on the upper one we used black and liquid one. The lower waterline is lined with white eye pencil. For the eyebrows we used light brow pencil and the lashes we did with our favorite everyday black mascara. The lips we defined with cherry colored lipstick and to frame the face we used some pinkish blush on the cheeks. In the end we even did a 50s style up-do with a puff in the front and a bandana as decoration.

Here is our result… and we will keep them coming!
