Hello 1950!

Last weekend I went to1950’s dress up party. I didn’t have time to look for an outfit, nor did I want to spend money on something I’d wear for 1 hour and then never again. But with costumes, hair and makeup is where you can make a big impression.

1950’s skin was flawless and creamy. It was all about defined brows, perfect liner and a kissable red lip. I used the Maybelline Master Precise liquid eyeliner – in one stroke you get a thin, opaque black line. Highly recommended product and perfect for that flick at the end.

Another major component is the lips! MAC Ruby woo is amazing. The retro matte style lipstick ensures that your lips stay clean and crisp. The trick to getting lipstick to last? 

• Line and colour your lips in with the pencil

• Lightly dust translucent powder over your lips

• Colour your lips with the pencil one more time

• Now it’s time for lipstick

It’s all about layering. The more thin coats you do (and don’t forget to seal along the way) the longer and better your look will last.
