1950's inspired!

I have always loved make-up and hairstyles from the Fifties. One of the most iconic women from the 1950's is Marilyn Monroe. She always wore her famous red lip, cat-eye flicked eye liner, and strong brows. 

I re-created the 1950's makeup look and tried out some different hairstyles that fit the era. 

For this look I used:

- Illamasqua Illumine Oil 

- Illamasqua Light Liquid Foundation (LF 140)

- MUA Pressed Powder (Shade 1)

- MUA Blusher (Shade 6) 

- Collection 2000 Liquid Eyeliner (Black)

- MUA Matte Eyeshadow (Brown)

- False Eyelashes by Eldora

- Benefit High Beam (1C1A)

- Rimmel Extreme Black Volume Flash Mascara

- Illamasqua Pencil (Feisty)

- Rimmel Lipstick (Holler 085)

- Red Herring Lip Gloss (Red)

I curled my hair with straighteners and then brushed the curls out softly. I tried different hair styles incorporating a red bandanna (bought off eBay for £1!)

Here's the finished look!
