5 min. "classic" face

My film class is making a movie with a 50s-ish element and it inspired me to do some "classic" make up. Initially i only had on eyeliner (which looked terrible on my btw. This is why i never ever only wear eyeliner, or eyeliner at all), and then added some soft shimmery brown shadow. I coudln't find any red lipstick, so i applied some soft lip gloss with a reddish tone. This was seriously done in 5-7 minutes. I have no foundation on, just eye stuff and lips. So pls forgive me for the hastiness!

i am also wearing my homecoming dress. I'd really appreciate it if you'd help me with what kind of make up i should wear with it :)

eyes-
MAC vanilla pigment
MAC nylon e/s
MAC woodwinked e/s
MAC black tied e/s
Andrea's lashes #21

eyebrows- prestige coffeebean e/s

lips- MAC Big Kiss plushglass

cute face!

for the dress, if i was wearing it, i'd go for a strong lip and a simple eye! becuase it seems like a retro-ish cocktail dress.

Stttttttttt HOT!!!

I really like the way you've done your eyes...yeah; it's simple, but it looks so stunning on you!!!!!!

With your dress...maybe you should go with a soft silver/pewter smokey eye....but it'd have to be done "softly" so as not to overwhelm your dress and delicate features.

What kind of jewelry are you planning to wear with the dress? That will really help with what kind of makeup look you're going for. If you're planning on doing a retro 50s look, then like the others said, a strong lip and neutral matte eyes would work. If you want to do a more hippie look with long necklaces and sparkly flats/tie-up shoes, then doing a soft smoky [insert color here] eye and neutral lips would work.

As for your makeup look today, just WOW! You are so beautiful, and I love how subtle yet glam this look is. The lashes really make your eyes stand out.

You look amazing!
I think white and silver colors would look nice withthe dress with a pink lip to keep it fresh looking. And what did you use to fill in your brows?
