Make up
Inspired by the classic pin-up look of the 1950's a retro girls complexion must appear flawless like porcelain. A good foundation to start, touch up any blemishes with a concealer then set with a translucent powder. For the eyes a pale eyeshadow all over then blend in a deeper colour such as a brown in the crease and form to a triangle at your outer corners. Use a liquid eyeliner winging it out at the outer corners. This look calls for thick lashes so apply three coats of volumizing mascara. Line lips with a red lipliner and fill them in. Finish of with bold red lipstick.

The Dress
A must have in the wardrobe for the classic 50's look is the monochrome retro style dress in either red or black. A petticoat underneath to create a wide skirt and properly fitted underwear such as a bullet bra will enhance the bust and help towards creating that perfect hour glass silhouette. A belt to sinch in the waist is a must! Finish off your outfit with a perfect pair of peep toe shoes and you're ready to go rockin!
