How to Get the Perfect Pinup Look

Jeannie Mai Now Nicole, every woman out there has a pinup girl inside of them. Here is the way to recreate the perfect pinup look in very simple steps. Here’s my best friend Nicole and we’re going to show you how easy it is to transform into this classic look.

So the first thing we’re going to do is to define liner. So I’m handing you now a precision angle brush. Dip both sides into water and take it right over to a palette of pressed eye shadow. Line, right on top of your lash line, then line above that lash line and go ahead one more time until you get night thick line of look.

Using your brush, connect the end of your eye to the end of your eyebrow to give yourself an idea of how you can pull out the tail of your eye to mimic that beautiful cat eye look and follow that very shape that you do with the outline of your brush.

The next thing, use your detail that every pinup girl had was very defined brows. Now I like to use powder rather than pencil because it just gulps out a very natural brow line look. And I would just go right beneath your brow line and just fill in the shape so that what we see is a defined line. Now we’ve got those brows beautifully defined, I want you take your Bleming brush and just go right into the natural crease of your eye just to bring out the shape of your eyelid.

The next thing we’re going to do is my favorite step to the retro look. We’re going to do lashes. So I’m going to take a little bit of this slope and placed it on to the back of your hand. Now what I’m going to do is to take the lash that I’m holding, flip it upside down and run the very ridge of the lash against my clear strip of glue. So that you see that nice white line appear on the very end of your lash.

Now we’re just going to blow in for ten seconds. So tilting to your lash line, keep that center part please and touch the two ends so lock it right down.

The next thing that you do, what do you remember every pinup girl having?

Gorgeous will be red lips.

I would like three to take the brush and just lightly draw with the side of your brush. Take your pencil and with that same line that you’ve already feathered round out both the peaks of your lips rather than leading them pointed. Once you’ve got that look line filled-in I’m going to another precision angle brush and I got you a matching fire engine red knot lip color. We’re just going to finish off this look with some great foundation. We’re going to use the same blush color that we use on our eyes, and there you have it.

How do you feel? Have we taken ourselves back in time?

Nicole: I feel very down to earth.
