'Retro Pin-up' Look

'Retro Pin-up' Look

Hi guys! I am back! And I MISSED you guys soooooo much!!!! What a loooooong week that was. I'm playing 'catch-up' now both at work and play so please bear with me as I find my footing. I decided to do a quick post to get back into action so here goes. It's a simple retro pin-up look with neutral eyes, cat eyeliner and red lips! Va va voooom! And look at me wearing red on my lips....who would have thought???!!!

Eyes:

PRIME:
I started off with NARS Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base all over my lid up to the brow bone. I applied MAC Layin Low Paintpot (matte beige) all over my lid and on my brow bone as my primary base.

COLOR:
For the lid I applied MAC Bisque Eyeshadow (matte light pinky beige).
On the outer lid and  crease I applied MAC Wild By Nature Eyeshadow (matte camel) from the Leopard Luxe Eyeshadow Quad.
To deepen the outer V I applied MAC Cross Cultural Eyeshadow (matte dark yellow brown).
For highlight I used MAC Vanilla Pigment (shimmery light white gold).
I used MAC Cross Cultural Eyeshadow (matte dark yellow brown) on my lower lashline.

BROWS:
My brows are filled in with MAC Eyebrow Pencil in Stud.

DEFINE:
I lined my upper lashline with Wet 'n' Wild Gel Eyeliner in Black.
I lined my lower waterline with MAC Chromagraphic Pencil in NW25/NC30 (matte light beige).
I used MAC Haute & Naughty Lash Mascara for my lashes with Beautee Senses Adventurous false eyelashes for effect.

Lips:

POLISH:
For my lips I used Chanel Rouge Allure Laque in #75 Dragon.

Face:

FINISH:
I prepped my skin with MAC Oil Control Lotion. I used NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in Tahoe for my face. I used MUFE Full Cover Concealer in #12 under my eyes set with Benefit Powderflage. I set my foundation with MAC Blot Powder in Dark.
I used MAC Pink Swoon Blush (matte bright blue pink) for my cheeks and MUFE #2 Sculpting Kit for highlight and contour.

  21. Absolutely stunning! I recently found your site, and have loved looking at your different looks.

    I have a question. What are your tips for wearing a red lip? I've tried many, and I still get the lipstick on my chin :o(.

  23. Thx ChrLvsBks and welcome to our little beauty community here.

    Girl I have the same issue with red ending up on my chin. I wish I had a solution but there is no real true way to stop this from happening besides wearing a lipstain instead or trying our best not to touch our chins with our lips. Naughty chin action!

  27. Hello,
    Have you noticed any brackouts with this sculpting kit because he contains talc ?
    I want to try this out, but I’m a little bit scary…

    Thank you in advance,
    Sara.

  28. Hi Sara. I haven't had any breakouts from the Sculpting Kit but I never have breakouts from makeup so I may not be ur best guinea pig :(
