Dramatic Pinup, The Classic Look

And now...*drum-roll*... The Pinup Look!! The classical style worn by stars from the beginnings of showbiz. Is is the most elegant and sexy look, easy to change from day to night and perfect for most occasions. Strong lips and perfectly shaped eyes are on the wave now...so try it!!


The look is easy and I didn't use a lot of products, just lots of blending. I primed the eyes with a white and dark cream shadows in order to help the powder shadow stick and last better. The white on the lid and the black on the corner. I then applied a white with gold infusions on the entire lid, crease and under the eyebrow. A tinny amount of purple in the outer corner and blend it well. With a small round brush apply the black in corner above the purple and blend it towards the end of the eyebrow (use a piece of adhesive paper in order to make a strait line or place your finger from the outer corner to the end of the eyebrow), all of the crease, from the outer to the inner corner and a medium amount in the outer corner. Apply, after this, liquid eyeliner close to the lashes and following the strait line of the shadow to the eyebrow. Also smudge it a bit under the eye and blend it with some white from the inner corner. A dark liner on the lashline, a few coats of mascara and your done!

For the lips I used a pencil to line them in a vibrant red and blended it with a lip brush to the rest of the lip. With a darker red lipstick, I filled the lip, but only on the outside zone. In the center, I applied a lighter red to create dimension and make the lip fuller. A red gloss and that is it.

As for the hair, I made a side ponytail and took strands of hair and twisted it in a curls and fixed it next to the ponytail. The one strand on the base was left out, but fixed to appear closer to the face. The bangs were fixed on the side, close to the head. Fixing spray and that is it.

Hope this is helpful! Have a nice weekend!
Kissu.
