1940's Pinup Girl Makeover

[Stephie Baby]

At the end of June, I have to makeovers for some 1940's singers. Anyway, a few of the singers have acne scars and I've never applied make up to anyone with scarring. So what would be the best way to cover the scars up without a cakey think foundation?

Also, as far as 1940's pinup girl styles, does anyone have any eyeshadow and lip color recommendations? I looked up a few images and its just mainly red lips with really natural eyes. Is there any other types of styles that fall into the pinup girl category? TIA!

I mean, I don't know how her scarring is, but if it's mainly discoloration, I would suggest Studio Fix Fluid topped with some MSFN.

I think PinUp makeup is generally just the neutral eyes and red lips. Dita von Teese is a classic modern day pinup girl and that's almost all she does. I personally enjoy using matte and stain e/s with this kind of look.

When I do pinup looks, I love to accentuate my eyes with falsies.

The specific colors that you choose depends on the skin tone of your client.

Another vote for neutral eyes, thick false lashes (definitely focus more on volume than length) and lovely red lips.

I recommend this website: The Puppini Sisters
They are a group of 40s singers and if you click on the first girl's picture, she has a Q and A with makeup advice. She seems to use mainly MAC products, too
