You've Got To Love Abit Of Vintage

These days, when it comes to fashion and accessories, anything with a hint of the word 'vintage' in the title seems to have people wanting it more and more. And i'm no different! I love the delacate feel that everything has about it, and all that lace and pearls has me going ga-ga! But when it comes to vintage style makeup, I feel it is not as appriciated. I myself have always been a fan of classy and understated makeup (dont get me wrong, im not one to refuse a splash of colour either!) and I just adore how it used to be in the 40's and 50's.  Today we have icons such as Dita Von Teese who have carried on this classic vintage makeup trend...



 The main factors:
  • Porcelain matte skin
  • Winged out liquid eyeliner
  • Dusty rose blush concentrated on the apples of the cheeks
  • Defined matte red lips
  • Drawn in mole on the left cheekbone
  • Dark elongated eyebrows with a high arch
This is my version...
