Recently I was invited to a decade party and I've been brainstorming ideas ever since. Truth be told, I've always felt like someone from a different time, so this seemed like a perfect opportunity to channel my inner self. What I came up with was a 60's pinup girl.
This makeup has some clothing inspiration as well, but that will come in at the end. To start off, powder the hell out of your face. Make it a pristine canvas because the intensity of the makeup will bring out EVERY flaw.
Start with a primer of your choice all over the lid. For this look, I used Urban Decay's Greed since it gives off a golden effect to the shadow.
When your done with this, you're ready to start with a dark black liquid liner, such as too faced to begin. Draw out the eye in a severe wing. The reason I do the liner first with this technique is because it has to be perfect so it's easier to make mistakes without messing up the shadow itself.
To make sure you have perfect lines, use a thin brow brush and a black shaddow, such as the sephora one shown in the products below, to smooth out any imperfections.
After the liner is dry, you're ready to start with your shadows. Cover the lid and brow bone with a very glittery off white shadow such as "Virgin" by Urban Decay. The crease color is up to you, but based on my outfit, I chose a burnt red, also by Urban Decay called,"Gash." Now the last thing with your eyes is Mascara. This may be the trickiest since the mascara I'm recommending is for a more practiced hand, but if you have a bit of patience, you'll be able to pull this off. It's a Benefit mascara called "They're Real" and it's the best for giving lashes a boost in all directions. Start using the brush in the typical manner that you would coat your lashes but pull the entire way from base to tip to make sure each lash gets coated. Next, use the tip that has extra fibers to pull each individual lash up, especially making sure your outer lashes are pulled outward.
The eyes are officially finished and now your ready to move onto the rest of the face! For a quick red lip that isn't costly, pick up some maybelline color sensational in YOUR red, since everyone has a different shade that suits their skin tone. (I used Red revival here). Make sure to line your lips first with a simple neutral tone so that your lips look perfect.
I used a stage makeup red since it's what I had lying around. After you're done with these steps the rest is up to you. I colored over my monroe with a black liner to finish off my look as well as adding a bit of blush to the apples of my cheeks.
For the hairstyle, I went with a simple side bun and a bump, blowing my bangs to the side. This look is fun and flirty, and perfect if you ever get invited to a decade party ;]. Stay Gorgeous!

p.s. for the more affordable version of the shadows, I would recommend using Maybeline's shadows, since these colors are adaptable to your personal style. As for the liner and mascara, a good liner that uses felt tip is Maybeline stiletto liner in very black, and Loreal volume collagen for the mascara.
