FOTD: OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR MAKEUP

I was hugely inspired by old Hollywood "glamour" makeup while creating this look. Although I didn't realise it at first when doing my base, eyebrows and eyes but once I added the classic red lipstick it hit me that my makeup was very 1950's. I finished the look off with some slight pin-curls (not as tight or dramatic as the Hollywood glamour ones though) because why not make it even more 1950's. So I wanted to share this look with you all to show that you can definitely wear glamour makeup and if you toned down the red lips, it could even come an everyday look.

I absolutely love Marilyn Monroe, I mean...who doesn't right?! So I have definitely admired Marilyn's makeup in all of the movies I have seen her in and I suppose my idea of old Hollywood glamour makeup has been formed by mainly her.

So "1950's" or "old Hollywood glamour" makeup generally consisted of
♥ Quite arched brows
♥ Pale base makeup
♥ Slightly bronzed side of face
♥ Under eye highlight

♥ Winged liner which gave the appearance of more almond shaped eyes
♥ Flirty lashes

♥ Light shadow on the lid 

♥ Soft brown in the crease

♥  Red lips

So obviously I look nothing like Marilyn Monroe but I think our makeup is fairly similar, especially the brows, eye shadow, base colour and lipstick. Now if I was purposefully trying to recreate a 1950's look then I definitely would have extended the liner a bit giving me a more almond shaped eye and added some flirty lashes.
