1950s Makeup step-by-step tutorial

How To :

1. Matte skin was a must in the ’50s. Start by applying a matte foundation (I use Korres Wild Rose Foundation). Use a powder if you prefer. Next, apply under-eye concealer.
2. Define your eyebrows. Fill them in with a pencil, focusing on the arch. If you’re blonde, the pencil should be a few shades darker then your hair. If you’re a brunette, it should be a few shades lighter.
3. Using liquid liner, create a winged eye that points out toward the end of your eyebrow. If you need more help, check out my tutorial here.
4. Sweep a light brown shadow over your eyelids, then apply a darker brown shadow to the creases and outer lower lash lines. Blend until it looks seamless.
5. Apply lots of black mascara.
6. Place a few individual fake lashes on the outer corners of your eyes using tweezers. This highlights the winged eye and makes for a more glamorous look.
7. Line your lips with a nude or red pencil. Next, apply your favorite red lipstick.
8. Apply a rosy-hued blush to the apples of your cheeks.
