60's Bombshell!

In the past few days, I've been dying to wear some sort of 60's sex-kitten make-up look. I love the idea of big hair, smoky eyes and a pink/nude lip! I've decided to sort of map out how I'm going to wear it and what make-up I'm going to use!

1) Moisturize (Olay Regenerist), Primer (Dr. Brant Pores No More), Foundation (Olay & Maybelline Ageless Foundation), Concealer( Kat Von D's Tattoo Concealer). Use whatever you feel comfortable with & make sure it's suitable for your skin texture & tone.

2) After you have a solid base & even skin tone, you want to have a super defined brow. Use some sort of angled brush & brown powder (depending on your hair color) to shape your arch, fill in your brow, & exaggerate it's shape.You can see on almost all 60"s icons, their brows are darker & stand out more. I recieved a sample of Anastastia brow powder in Brunette & I love it! I also use Cork eyeshadow from Mac.

3) For this look, you really need very delicate, shimmery eyeshadows. I would start with a white/champagne shimmery eyeshadow all over the lid. In the crease line, you want to pick a medium color, this could range anywhere from mauve to rose to pewter. Don't forget to blend.d You can see in the top picture most of her lid is super dark, but you want to be able to control it as opposed to just layering a lot of color on! Put the darkest color right above your upper lashes and just brush upwards, don't use A LOT of shadow at first, you can always add more. Then put a dark line of shadow under your lower lashes & smudge, so it gives a nice smokey look.

4) Afterwards, pick some sort of black liner to line the upper lid. I usually opt for a liquid liner of some sort, I've used Maybelline in the past, but I hear Bobbi Brown has a really good liner pot, which would require some sort of brush application. But this part is solely up to you! You can make it like Eva Mendez's on the right, wing it out & then fill it in; or, you can go for a more subtle approach and just make a thinner, winged line. Also, line the bottom water-line with a line of black liner. I usually stick with a black pencil, like Rimmel Exaggerate, or a Sephora liner.

5) Curl your lashes & add LOTS of Mascara, you want to be able to bat your lashes!

6) Use an all-over bronzer like Bare Escentuals Warmth to warm up your face. Then apply a pinky-peach blush,

like Nars Orgasm, on the apples of the cheek.

7) Lines the lips with something similiar to Addiction from Rimmel, blend it in & add a rosey-peach lipstick, like Viva La Glam for Mac.

8) If you want to add an extra touch- dust highlighter in the shape of a C around your eyebrow and on top of you cheek bone! Don't forget the bridge of the nose.
