♡the classic makeup look♡

Hello you gorgeous people! Okay well the other day someone asked me what I think of when someone says the word makeup, which got me thinking, what do I think of when someone says makeup? And the answer is the whole 1950's pin up girl, Marilyn Monroe kinda thing. Its the whole red lip classic (thing that you like!) look with the thick winged eyeliner that is just so classy. Comment what the word makeup reminds you of or your favourite iconic look.

1. Start off by moisturizing your face and using any primers or pore minimizers that you usually use to set the base for your makeup.

2. Ladies in the 50's seemed to always to have effortlessly flawless, matte skin so cover your face in any foundation but a matte one would be better to create a more authentic look, remembering to blend down the neck. You can skip this part or replace with BB cream if you don't like to wear foundation.

3. If your foundation didn't fully cover any dark circles or blemishes that you want to cover then apply a concealer without caking it on.

4. Use a very natural looking pinky blush, smile and apply it to your cheeks for a natural rosy look. Follow this with a matte powder to complete your face makeup.

5. Before using any eyeshadow, prime your eyelids first for a better result then using a white shimmering eyeshadow cover your eyelid.

6. Taking a black eyeliner, draw a slick across your eye, getting thicker towards the outside and finishing with a big flick.

7. With a dark lengthening mascara coat your lashes to create doll eyes or use fake lashes.

8. Dont forget to fill and shape your brows, a brow snap that I think suits this look perfectly is very full, with a detonate arch.

9. To complete the look, take a classic red lipstick and leave on its own or coat with a lip gloss.

So that's the completed look I hope you enjoyed this post. I would love it for you to comment, share and follow. Thanks for reading, love and kisses, Juliette x
