Hello Vintage Lovers!
Today I will show you the basics of achieving old Hollywood makeup look from the 40's and 50's.
Here is a guide of makeup colors they use back then
Eyeshadow: White, Beige, Lavender, Pink Ivory, Brown, Grey, Black, Sage Green, Mint Green, Navy Blue, Powder Blue
Blushes: Pink, Burgundy
Lipstick: Dark Pink, Red, Orange Red, Burgundy, Apricot,Pinch of Pink
Eye Liners: Black, Dark Brown, Medium Brown
Here Is my how to for a baa sic 40's /50's look:
Clean Face!!! (Eck) |
Apply Foundation on your eyelids |
Blend both eye shadows with your blending brush. Think soft , not harsh. |
Apply your liner. I like to use a dark brown liquid liner for the day, It works just as good as black liner but its more of a day time look. Then apply fondation to rest of face. |
Once applied mascara, brush your eyebrows and fill them in if needed. |
Next apply blush (i like Hard Candy's :Living Doll) blush. Its the perfect pink |
Blend Blush on your apples by smiling. |
(*For Special Occasions*) Apply face and body white powder on your face (little goes a long way) This creates a techni-color Hollywood glow) |
(Blend with blending brush) Blend really good!!! |
Next apply your Lip Liner and Lipstick. (I have on Fire &Ice Revlon) |
Next Apply Your highlighter apply (cupid bows"lips", on brow bone) |
Finish Look!! |
I hope you like my Make Up How To!!
Next will be the Finger Waves!!!
Have A Very Vintage Day
