Pin-Up Girl

Today's look was inspired by the sultry beauties of 1950's and somewhere around that era. ;) (Albeit, I'm not half as good-looking as any of them. ;p) I love the classic pin-up look. And I love emulating it even more. So, if you would like to look good enough to be ogled on a calendar, then flip on to the next page with me! :D



A smooth, clear complexion is vital to looking like a pin-up, so prep your face and blot out the blemishes with foundation and concealer. Then, find a nice shimmery nude-colored shadow and apply it to the lids. (I used one from the Pro Palette.) Get a dark liquid liner, and apply a nice, neat line on the top lids and make a nice, flirty little wing on the edges. (Nothing says charm like winged eyeliner!) Put on plenty of mascara, of course, so you can bat your eyes at those lover boys. ;) Make sure to put on plenty of blush to contour your face and to make you look healthy. (I used the Shisheido gradient pink blush.) And last, but not least, finish off with a cherry red lipstick so you can blow plenty of kisses (and give them, too. ;D) I used Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in "Alarm".





There's not much to see with the eyes closed, but I thought I'd do it anyway. ;P My monroe piercing worked out perfectly with this!






Then, make love to the camera and you're set!
