Pretty Pinup Makeup

This time i decided to do my usual look, the vintage pinup style, all using Dead Gorgeous Cosmetics.
Never mind my hair, that's my next blog ;p
 
 
First i apply a mattifying primer to give me a true vintage feel...plus it helps to keep my makeup on longer!
Then i used concealer around my tired eyes, sides of my nose (i have shocking sinuses so it's always red) and a little on my chin.
Next, i apply my liquid foundation and set it with a powder. For day to day wear i usually wear only the powder as it has great coverage on it's own, but this tutorial i used a liquid, too.
 
 
Now it's time to add some colour. With vintage pinup makeup your colour comes from your lips and cheeks. I used Blush #13. Note: (You can use a coloured eyeshadow, but usually it's kept to a very neutral colouring.)
 
 
Now to fill in my brows...and take a cheeky photo of them :p
 
I use Boogie Woogie Brown along my crease and blend.
 
Then i put With A Wink And A Smile on my lids and over the top of the Boogie Woogie Brown.


 
Just under my brow i use Vanilla Malt to subtly highlight and blend down into the crease.
 
Add my wingtips...
 
...pop on some lashes (I'm wearing the Natural Lashes available from Dead Gorgeous Cosmetics)


 And a touch of mascara to bond my lashes to the falsies.
 
Next i line my lips...
 
And fill them in. I used Ruby Slippers (my FAVE red) but you could also use a pink. 
 
This is a soft and sweet look, perfect for everyday wear.
 
Stay tuned for my next post, i'll be doing a rolled/faux fringe :D
