Makeup 50s

The Golden Age of the 50s associated with a new trend in fashion. It was the time of incomparable fashion models: Dorian Lee, Bettina Graziani, Dovimi, Lisa Fonsagrives, actresses Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. They managed to catch trends so cleverly that modern stylists often turn to mid-twentieth-century fashion. The exception was not makeup artists, hairdressers, image-makers. All of them adore the retro features of the most feminine and elegant decade.

Exquisite makeup of the 50s allowed to create images of stunning, very sexy beauties. The woman of those times was literally a "showcase" of the welfare of her husbands. The daily routine of visiting beauty salons became a common thing - creating neat hairstyles, eyebrow correction, drawing “arrows”. It was a time of new look, pin up styles, glamorous chic. On retro postcards and photo cards you can still find housewives with a perfect make up, wonderful styling.

Of course, that makeup was radically different from the 30s or 40s, was more daring and extravagant. Ladies of the past era preferred somewhat artificial and “puppet” images. The accents were eyebrows, eyes.

Beauties had to pluck the outer tips of their eyebrows and draw their line in a new way. So eyebrows seemed more raised, and a look - attracting, intriguing. Nowadays, broad dark eyebrows with a clear outline remain a trend and are very popular when creating any make up. The stylish make-up of the 50s necessarily envisioned graceful arrows on the upper eyelid, thickly painted eyelashes and feathering of the shadows to the eyebrows.

The make-up technique was complicated, but on the face of the actress, he looked perfect. This makeup has a dense texture. If you have problems with the skin of the face, then you should carefully consider this option make up. If the concealer is applied incorrectly, the face contour of the lips may appear “plastered”.

Use a tonal foundation for a tone or two of lighter skin tone. This will give aristocratic pallor. Blush can not be used at all, but the emphasis on the eyes is obligatory. It is noteworthy that in the early 50s. Much attention was paid to the combination of colors in fashion. If today accessories are selected according to the color of the shoe, then earlier - under the make up itself.

Girl of the 50s It appears miniature, fragile. She has aspen waist, sloping shoulders, proud posture. Under the make-up of that time, thin heels, fitted jackets, fluffy skirts, and V-neck trapezium dresses were perfect. Women often turned to the Tiffany style and its turquoise black tones. They adored silver jewelery, shine of pearls, amazing play of mother-of-pearl palette.

Men often called such beauties "girl-cats", because you could look in their bright eyes endlessly. At that time, female beauty acquired new features that were considered fashionable:

• dark broad eyebrows with an obligatory bend;
• charming arrows, from thin to "feline";

Under them added light shadows, emphasizing the expressive bend of the eyebrow. This makeup is appropriate for any occasion: for the New Year, corporate party, themed wedding. The eyeliner should visually lengthen the eye section, add intrigue, magic to your image.

Retro make-up "cat's eyes" suggested a neat drawing of the line of eyebrows with a bend, thick and spectacular eyelashes. The tone of the face should be very light, but the color of lipstick is better to choose peach, pale pink. The same neutral should be ruddy. Those ladies who do not have moles and flies on their face can freely draw them.

Recently, retro makeup was created only for professional, amateur photo shoots. However, the popularity of glamor chic, pin up and new look styles literally left an imprint on the face of modern fashionistas.

Not lost sight and sexy lips. The girls enjoyed a clever trick, eyeliner pencil. When applying make up, they sharpened the onion of cupid, applying pale, bright purple, peach or carrot lipstick.

Hairstyles of the 70s and 50s became similar. They have a subtle color, do not do without a pile, the use of stylers, varnishes, mousses. Girls of the middle of the last century preferred:

• neat blond curls up to the chin, shoulders, shoulder blades;
• elegant tufts peeking out from under the sleek ruffles;
• all kinds of curls using curlers;
• hairstyles with bangs;
• the use of chignons.

For a start, it is worthwhile to apply a tonal foundation, to powder uneven skin areas, to achieve a somewhat artificial tint of the face. To emphasize the expressive cheekbones, use the blush of natural shades (light brown, peach, pale pink). It is necessary to shade them towards the temples.

When you take the eyebrows, give them maximum attention. Draw a clear line with dark brown shadows, a pencil. For a moving eyelid, use any shining shadows and eyeliner to draw perfect black arrows. As soon as the cosmetics dries, you can create a soft effect with a shimmer on a transparent basis. Mascara must be applied in several layers.
