LookIt!: Simple pin-up

In an effort to post more beauty blogs we will start with a new series called LookIt! We'll give you a list of products you can use and a step by step procedure on how you can recreate a certain look.

While we understand that people have been asking us to do makeup tutorials sadly we couldn't sum up enough confidence to do video tutorials but as a compromise we will make sure to have these LookIt! posts easy to follow so let's start with our first look...

Isn't she pretty? *sigh* No matter let's get cracking and recreate her face... I mean her LOOK! :p

Products:

Victoria's Secret Duo Eyeliner/Smudge (Black)

LA Color 2in1 Eye (Black)

LA Color blush in Pearly Pink

LA Color 2in1 Lips in Scarlet Red

This look is a fairly easy one which I'm pretty sure to others is a no-brainer, but let's begin shall we... 

Face

Pin-Up girls are never about the dewy glow so go for a matte foundation, I would suggest using powder foundations rather than liquid or cremes as they will provide you with a mattier finish. 

Eyes

Start with the Victoria's Secret Duo Eyeliner in black. Since we are not creating a smokey eye,  start lining from the outer corner of the eye, very close to the lash line stopping a little at the middle and smudge forward using the smudger that comes with this liner. If you line the whole eye it will look too overdone so only line the outer corner to create a slightly cat eye effect. 

Next is to elongate them lashes. LA Color 2in1 Eyes mascara is perfect for this kind of look because the brush is slim and spread out. We are not trying to achieve volumized lashes so the clumpier the lashes the better. 

Cheeks

Perk up those cheeks with LA Color blush in Pearly Pink. Apply the blush a little higher than you would normally to create an illusion of a higher cheekbones. 

Lips

The highlight of this look. To get that luscious red lips start with the lip liner that comes in the LA Color 2in1 Lips in Scarlet Red. Color the entire lips, rub it gently to the lips so that it will retain a red stain. Then apply a few good layers of the gloss on the other end of the 2in1 lips.

A little more powdering on the T-zone and voila you are all set to get that candy man! 

We hope this is easy for you all to follow. If you have any suggestions to what other looks we can cover for you please feel free to let us know. 

Also we'd love it if you can show us pictures of you recreating this look with our steps. 

Much love,
