Get a 50s Makeup Look
Edited by Kara, MsBarbs, Dougie
Hi you're watching VisiHow, today I will show you how to make a 50s cat style makeup. We will make fat arrows on our eyes using an eyeshadow pencil.
Steps
- 1I am using Mac to cover all the bumps and roughness and to hide any dark circles around our eyes, mouth, and nose. So let us start. It is a very fast process eyes, eyelids, especially, do not forget to go over your eyelids. Your face is like paper for an artist. If you have little imperfection like marks or pimples or whatever else, a foundation will help you.Before we begin, we need to prepare our face we will need facial powder.
- 2This will help to avoid having a mask line.Also, apply some to your neck for a more natural look.
- 3The next step is eyebrows, and my favorite thing I am going to be using Anastasia dipbrow pomade, medium brown.
- 4I am also using an Anastasia brush.
- 5I prefer to have the bottom line infinite and unstoppable. I always start by defining bottom line of the eyebrow. This is what you need to do in order for your eyebrows to look natural and not painted on.The eyebrows help to frame your face and when you do not have eyebrows, it makes a huge difference.
- 6We are framing up the eyebrows.Now I am going to line the top part of the eyebrow, to create the top frame.
- 7I have a frame literally around my eyebrow. We will do the same on the left eyebrow.See what I have here?
- 8Again, I line the lower eyebrow line, and the upper eyebrow line. This creates a frame around my eyebrow.Let's proceed with lining the second eyebrow.
- 9It's very important to keep the beginning of your eyebrow lighter than the rest of the eyebrow in order to achieve a more natural look.Now I have two eyebrows that are framed and ready to be colored in.
- 10I will start coloring in the eyebrow in the middle, and I will gradually move to the beginning of the eyebrow.
- 11You need to be very careful filling in the lighter part because if you make it to dark it will look funny. I will move bottom eyebrow line and try to apply very softly and we will brush it after we are done.So, the part of my eyebrow that is supposed to be darker is colored in.
- 12Okay now let's do the same thing with our left eyebrow. It is always easier to make perfect eyebrows when you have a frame to work with. This is done; we are now going to do the beginning. We are done with eyebrows.Brushing the eyebrow will help to blend in the colors.
- 13If you want to go for a natural look, and want to have beautiful eyebrows, you need to make sure your eyebrows start as the end of your nose, approximately here.I have noticed that some girls choose to follow unconventional eyebrow shaping techniques that look very strange to me.
- 14We're going to use the lightest shadow for that. That is very important.Okay, we need to highlight our eyebrows.
- 15Remember we are going to be making fat arrows to imitate the cat look or the 50s look. Amy Winehouse often wore this type of look. Do not forget to highlight the inner corner of your eyes as well.I'm going to use the same light shadow on my eyelids to help prepare them for the hard-core shadow pencil that we are going to be using.
- 16It has a pencil on one end and a brush on the other end.To make these arrows I am going to be using Maybelline's shadow pencil.
- 17This is a very thick pencil, it makes a thick line, and that is what we are going for. I am going to drag it all the way up to here so this is where our shadow will be coming from. I'm not trying to be perfect because right now I'm just framing the arrow.I'm going to start at the inner corner of my eye right next to the lash line and begin outlining my eyelid.
- 18We are going to color the whole eyelid with this and don't worry if this is not as straight and as perfect as you want. It does not matter at this point because we will be blending it in.I've already made the bottom line, now I will create the top line for our arrows.
- 19It's just like a coloring book for kids.This is what we have right now, it looks bad, we need to fill the space in now.
- 20You want to pay special attention to the border.Now, we are going to turn our pencil to the brush side and use it to brush the arrow.
- 21I need to use the pencil again to make the color even. Okay I fixed it. Now that's brush it again.So there is a little imperfection in this corner, I am going to wipe it with a cotton swab.
- 22We just finished the top eyelid and we need to add a little eyeshadow on the outside bottom corner, just a tiny bit.One eye is done.
- 23Make sure you keep the Q-tips nearby that way if you mess up you can wipe it off just as I did.Let's move to the left eye and contour the lash line.
- 24There are other brands like Burjois , PUPA, and NYX. NYX is my favorite. We are using the field tools.Now drawing the top frame, this is not a perfect shadow pencil but it's okay.
- 25Color the eyelid.
- 26Let's make sure that they are level.
- 27I think the right eye is higher than the left, so I am going to add more to the left eye.
- 28It's fixed.I also need to wipe off the bottom corner because it is a little bit too much.
- 29Normally eye pencils have a sponge on the end, which allow you to brush the shade. Add some eyeshadow to the bottom corner, just a tiny bit.Let's brush it with the end of the pencil.
- 30We are done with our shadow.
- 31Actually, any mascara is good but my favorite will always be mascara with a thick plastic brush. When I don't use mascara I feel bold.It is time to apply the mascara.
- 32Apply mascara to the bottom lashes.
- 33Oops, I think I put some mascara on my eyelid, but it's okay, we will fix it. It's not a problem.Do the same with the left eye.
- 34Apply mascara to the bottom lashes.
- 35Okay, let me fix the mascara mess that I made, by wiping it off with a Q-tip.
- 36I have some mascara pieces on my cheeks and I'm just going to wipe them off with the brush.
- 37Okay, so suck in your cheeks to reveal the line on which you will be applying the blush.Because I already have on heavy eye makeup, I am going to use a light pink blush on my cheeks to complete the look.
- 38We will use L'Oréal pink lipstick.I think I will go with a light pink lipstick just to match the blush, and so that the face will not look to heavy because of the dark shadows that I have.
- 39I hope you like this look, if you have any questions. You can leave comments in the section below. Thank you.We are done.
