The typical Pin up “Rockabilly” look is actually almost effortless and it is a beautiful classic look that has been and will always be very glamorous.
The key to achieving that Pin up look is simply:
1) An even skintone with highlighted areas such as the
- Brow bone
- High cheek bone
- Cupids bow
2) A simple contoured eye. This is basically white eyeshadow with a very well blended light brown shadow in the crease.
3) The reason for the simple eyeshadow is to let the winged eyeliner be the main focus of your eyes!
4) A bold bright red lip
Those are the main things to focus on. However, you could ALWAYS switch up the usual with a fun different color. I went with an orange toned brown in the crease instead this time. Sometimes, I’ll ditch the red lip for a bright barbie pink lip. You could totally change the look up and have fun with it. Just make sure your winged liner is bold and stands out and that you have a fun bold lip to go along!

Can you do a tutorial on how you did your hair?
I can’t because I now have bettie bangs that are slowly growing out
