My "Everyday Pin Up" Make Up Routine - The Simple Basics
Kiss kiss darling. A good pin up style make up day with some nice morning light calls for a silly selfie, don't you think? I like my lip color in this. It's like a natural light red. But believe me, I'm wearing lipstick. My lips disappear without it.
My 7-Minute Pin Up Style Make Up Routine
On a day to day basis I do not wear a ton of make up. I don't have the time or the need really. Pretty much everyday consists of these basics:
- Natural moisturizer on face and neck (don't forget your neck!)
- Let the moisturizer absorb into skin for about 5 minutes (usually I go get dressed)
- Primer all over face
- Dark red lip liner as eyebrow pencil (good tip for redheads!); I follow my regular eyebrow line. Make sure to go all the way out to the end of your brow, where the outer eye ends.
- Eyebrow brush to blend in
- Dust a big blush brush with Berry from Wet n Wild (it's a good blush!) and sweep along cheekbones
- Off-white eye shadow under brow
- Light brown all over lid
- Dark brown in crease
- Lip liner around lips
- Fill with whatever color I feel like (usually dark raisin, but in this one I did a light red)
- Blend lipstick and then blot lips
- Liquid eyeliner starting from point on lash line that is just above the inner eye section of the iris
- Sweep along lash line and increase width of liner at corners
- Black mascara on top lashes
