Vintage Style :)

I love all things vintage. Whether its scrapbook papers, ephemera, makeup. clothes...anything! Today I decided to try out a 50's movie star style. As I don't have the right make-up to do this, I used my watercolours (though I don't advise you to do so). First, I put on some concealer and foundation. I added a little highliter to my cheecks and chin, and shader to under my chin and just under my cheekbones sweeping down to the corners of my mouth. I have quite a chubby face, sort of square-ish, and I read that doing this would make the face seem slimmer. I applied lash-lengthening mascara then got started on the focal points of the face. I put lipliner on forst, carefully outlining right to the corners of my mouth. Then I filled in with red, even in the corners, and applied Vaseline over the top to seal the colour in. Then I used black to create a beauty spot just underneath the corner of my nose, where the chubbiness finished. Ta-daa! Instant movie star glamour. With my brown curls it looked stunnning :)
