1950s Inspired Makeup Look

       Hellooooooooo!!! its been ages!!! I'm finally back by the Grace of God,my laptop died completely and using an Android phone to put up new posts on my blog was so expensive. So i decided to be patient to get a new laptop and it has paid off. *dancing*

    My first post for the year will be a picture tutorial based on the 1950s era,a Pin Up makeup look. its one of my favourite looks , Its a beautiful look that complements the facial structure,focusing on the brows,eyelids,lips with a pop of colour etc. Highly arched brows, fleshy toned eyelids, winged eyeliner,full flirty eyelashes, beige or nude shade on the waterline and lets not forget bright red or pink lips are some of the compulsory features of a pin up look.

       So lets begin..........
