Today, I spent about an hour recording my latest makeup tutorial.
It was supposed to be a modernized version of pin-up girl makeup inspired by Katy Perry.
...but alas, my camera did not record the video properly and now I don't have any footage to share with viewers and subscribers of my YouTube channel who want to recreate such a look. Oh, well!
I'll tell you what then; I do have pictures of the finished product, so I'll at least post some of them to give you an idea of what you can do to create your own version of makeup for today's pin-up girl. The main differences between this and vintage pin-up makeup are that the lower lid is defined here but not in the original style, and the cheeks and lips are a more playful pink hue rather than the deeper red or somewhat coral-red favored by models and starlets who wore the look in days past.
Here's a brief breakdown of the makeup you see in the photos below:
The eyebrows are well-defined, with a strong arch. The eyes are rimmed with black eyeshadow lifted slightly at the outer corners to create something of a cat eye.
On the crease and slightly above it, silver eyeshadow--or any other similar shade you fancy--makes the eyelid glisten. Strip false eyelashes on the top lash line open up the eyes and add to the flirtiness of the look.
A light. soft pink adorns both the cheeks and the lips. The complexion is mattified so as to give the wearer a fresh and polished appearance.
I would've loved to post a tutorial on this look for my viewers who enjoy videos of the sort. However, sometimes things that keep us from proceeding as originally planned do happen, and the sanest response to me is just to let go and move on from where you are, with what you have.
There probably won't be a how-to video from me on this exact same look since the inspiration I felt for it all went into the filming of the tutorial I made today. If you've already experimented with basic pin-up makeup however, you shouldn't be challenged when playing with this look since it's just a couple of changes away from the classic one.
Thank you for joining me for this blog post. I told you not too long ago that I'd be back soon--and so I will again!
Wishing you good night from my corner of the world,
