The classic pin up girl



The pin up girl look is a classic style that took place back in the 50's. I have to say that it's one of my top favorites! For this look you won't need any dramatic eyeshadow colors but only suddle browns and sand colors.









  • The base of your eyeshadow



For the base you'll use a neutral color that best matches your skin color.







  • Second color



For the second color you'll use a step down from your base. A sort of mud color will do the trick!







  • Eye brow liner



The color you'll use to go under your eyebrow will be only a tiny bit darker from your base. (sand)







  • Your last finishing touch with eyeshadow



Take a small amount of your eye brow liner color and use it under your lower lash line.







  • The eyeliner



The eyeliner color can vary from a nice , smooth black to a muddy brown. I like to use smooth liquid black eyeliner. You can find this at a dollar general for a very cheap price.

(this is the brand I use and It's fabulous.)


When doing your eyeliner you'll do what I like to call a cat eye. This can be done by bringing the very end of the eyeliner line in an slight upward direction.







  • Blush



For your blush you'll need to use a rose red color. Only use a tiny amount so that you don't end up having cherry cheeks. When I do my pin up girl look I use Bare minerals hint for my blush color.







  • Lipstick



Match your lipstick color with the color of your blush which will be a nice cherry red.
