Pin-up Inspired Look – The Makeup Mix-Up

October 29, 2015

I was feeling pretty good about this Makeup Mix-Up post. I had a solid idea of what I wanted to do thanks to Emily’s comment last week. So I tested the look and I was like yeah..this is it. And I did the makeup for real, shot the photos, and was getting ready to transfer them to my computer when I saw a tweet that was like, “12 Halloween looks that only require makeup!” and the photo attached was this insane iridescent mermaid scale look and that’s just going to blow my pin-up inspired look out of the water.

No pun intended. Well, maybe a little.

Anyway.. Emily mentioned that Halloween is all about being playful and sexy and suggested something like a pin-up girl. Any look that allows me to rock a red lip is cool by me.

In my mind, a pin-up girl is flirty and fun and doesn’t take herself too seriously. But her lips are always on point and her eyes are bright. Instead of just a plain black cat eye, I decided to go one step further and add a little color. I chose purple because it doesn’t compete too much with the lips and it complements my eyes. I can also see this working with gold, blue, green..really anything as long as you do it with confidence.

As much as I love makeup, I can’t do my hair to save my soul. I would have loved to rock some victory curls, but lord knows that wasn’t going to happen. So I went with a big bouffant. It totally goes with my polar-bear thermal shirt.

    I think your hair looks amazing!
    And I am loving that colored wing liner. That’s a fun spin on pin-up girl!

      Thank you! Hair is seriously my least-favorite thing to when it comes to a beauty routine so I have about 5 go-to styles. This is not one of them, but maybe it should be 😉

  • Angelica @GardeningInHighHeels

    Thank you! You have to put a little spin on things for Halloween, right? Your Minni Mouse look is so cute! I love it.
