For the past week our focus has been clothing and accessories. However the vintage look is incomplete without the right makeup. What does vintage makeup entail? It involves four essential steps: 1. rosy cheeks, 2. neutral eyeshadows, 3. extended liner at the outer corner of the eyes; sometimes called cat eyes and 4. a matte, bright colored lipstick. My favorite lipstick for this look is Ruby Woo by Mac. Now matte lipstick poses a problem if you have dry lips. Don't panic, that can quickly go away with one teaspoon of coconut oil and a half teaspoon of sugar. Simply combine the two ingredients rub vigorously on the lips until the dead skin is removed. It feels amazingly smooth and the coconut oil will add moisture. Make sure that you blot your lips, as too much oil can cause the lipstick application to have a glossy finish; which is not the ideal finish for vintage make up.
Here is a make up video tutorial to help you accomplish a 1950s pin up look. Try it and let me know how it looks.
