Always use Boot black liquid liner on the eyes, with an eyeshadow like vanilla on the lid and maybe a neutral brown in the crease to define a la Monroe. Pin-up girls did use to wear pastel greens and blues on their eyes aswell, and don't forget a matte, bright lipstick like Ruby Woo which is a blue-toned true red and Glam which is a bright pinky-red.

ivory/beige is the perfect skintone for the pinup look, imo. most of the pinups in the 1940s and 1950s had very pale, porcelain-esque skin. a very important thing to focus on when trying to achieve the pinup look is flawless skin.
and you can never go wrong with a light rosy blush!

Actually, I think the pinup look suits EVERYONE personally!
The one thing that nobody's mentioned yet is that it's important to have perfectly groomed and filled-in brows to do "vintage" well, it's the one thing I find to be next to impossible, but a fairly minimal eye with a black "lick" of liner and beatifully shaped dark brows, and you're half way to pinup-tastic gorgeousness!

miss-vintage.com is a good resource!
It has a whole section devoted to Marilyn Monroe and a basic explanation of stuff from the 20s to the 70s.
Also check out the fedora lounge.
When I used to wear pin-up, I used russian red lipstick, pink swoon blush, brun to fill in my brows, a color to highlight (usually vapour), a neutral or really light color on the lid, dark color in crease, and blacktrack fluidliner (winged, top lid only). And tons and tons of mascara!
