The Helpful Guide To Looking Like A 1950's Pin Up Girl.

Curls are the best to pull off the pin up girl look.

-Twirl a section of hair around your finger or a curling iron.
- Slide finger out of the curl and pin it to your head. Then remove pins (with curler simply slide curl out of curler)
- Repeat until entire head is done

Voila!! perfect hair

Tip: Use hairspray for long lasting hold of the curls

Skin must look flawless!!

-Use a full coverage foundation that matches your skin tone perfectly.
-Follow with a creamy concealer to disguise any blemishes or dark circles
-Set your base with a dusting of translucent powder.
-If wanting to be authentic add a small facial mole just above lip using a brow pencil.

Groom your eyebrows and make them pop.

-Brush them until they are neat.
- Fill them in with a matte powder that’s one or two shades darker than your natural brow color (This adds drama but doesn't make them look horrible)

Along with the lips, the eyes are a major focal point of pin-up girl makeup.

- Black liquid eyeliner, making sure the eyeliner wings out at the corners of your eye. This is called the “Cat Eye” or “Bedroom Eyes.”
-Apply at least 2 coats of a good lengthening and thickening mascara.

Tip: It's a good idea to practice this look a lot before taking it public.

Pin-up lips should be red!!

-Outline the shape of your lips first with a red pencil but at the peak of your lips
-Fill in with lipstick.

Tip: The exact shade will depend on your skin tone. Go with as deep and dark of a red as you can, based on your skin.

Deep reds, reddish browns, and pinks are good colors to go with, but you can also try black, which is surprisingly popular. Medium length nails are ideal.

Your aim is to create an alluring hourglass silhouette.

-Shirt-dresses and belts that cinch tight at your waist are a great way to achieve this look. Also you might want to invest in a bullet bra or corset.
-Shop vintage and secondhand stores and re-purpose items you have.

Tip: Look for genuine vintage items like pencil skirts, A-line skirts, Cuban heeled stockings, round toed pumps, wiggle dresses, swing dresses, petticoats, 3/4 sleeve cardigans, cropped cardigans with full sleeves, and high waist capri pants, to name a few.
