Makeup Looks Of The 40's With Rimmel

I often "joke" that I was born in the wrong decade, my heart believes it belonged in the big band era. The style was so classic, the way of life beautiful and simple, I would have been starring in movies along-side Gene Kelly, Judy Garland, and Bing Crosby, I just know it, and the
were spot on. Since I find myself here in the 2000's I like to bring that era into my life wherever I can. You all know I love antiques and my style often has a retro flare. So it only makes sense that my favorite
would be that of the 40's- cat eyes and red lips; yes, please! I'm going to show you how to get those looks today using
.
-
Start with a clean and moisturized face (so important!), I like to let my moisturizer sit and soak into my skin for about ten minutes before I apply any makeup.
-
Next, use your fingers (yes, I always use my fingers to apply foundation on my own face. I use a brush if I'm doing makeup on someone else) to apply the
Rimmel London Stay Matte foundation
. Apply a bead of foundation onto your middle or index finger and apply all over the face. Use your ring finger for sensitive areas around the eyes. This is my new favorite
!
-
Then apply a setting powder and blend using a dense blending brush.
-
Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks and sweep it back towards your temple. I like to use a rosy colored blush for this look.
-
Then apply your contour color along the jawline, cheek bones, and sides of your nose (yes, your nose)
-
Blend everything with your dense blending brush so it is smooth and flawless- that is the key to getting this look.
-
Using a flat shadow brush, apply a matte brown shadow all over the lid and into the crease then blend with a shadow blending brush.
-
Using a black gel, liquid, or pen liner, apply a straight line all the way across your upper lid then diagonally to the corner of your eyebrow to get the cat eye look.
-
Then finish off the eyes with
Rimmel's Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara
. If you're looking for the
, this is it!
-
Exfoliate your lips and immediately apply a moisturizer/ chapstick and let it sit for 5-10 minutes.
-
Apply a rosy lip liner and fill your lips in completely (yes, I said completely)!
-
Apply a true red lipstick
Add some fabulous curls or a simple updo and you are done!
