50'S Eye-Make-Up?

The most important thing for a fifties look is a matte, flawless face. Make sure your face is looking as flawless as possible and don't use anything with shimmer as this was not the look at the time. Black liner with a cat's eye effect at the outter edge is good for the rockabillie look. A red lip is also in order, but nothing with shimmer since, like I said before, this was not the look at the time. If you don't want to do something matte then use a glossy or sheer red lipstick with alot of moisture to it. Be sure to line you lips with a nude pencil before applying the red with a brush. This will help keep the lipstick in place without looking over the top.


Women also wore a good bit of blush in the 50's, something without alot of brown to it is best and applied low on the cheek (right on the cheekbone). Try looking up 50's makeup and see what pictures come up for inspiriation on colors and technique.50'S Eye-Make-Up?
I often do big red lips for 50s, so keep colour to a minimum on the eyes. LOADS of black liquid eyeliner on the top lids, wifh long flicks on the outer edges. Tons of jet black mascara, and false eyelashes if you can get them on straight!! HOpe this helps!50'S Eye-Make-Up?

Yep- deep blues on ya eyes and bright red lippy
It seems to me that everyone whos posted an answer has just already put the basics... which are black eyeliner, a rosy glow, and red lips. Don't go too matte on the lips or they'll look thin. Do something pseudo shimmery. And the eyeliner shouldn't be too heavy. If you want to go all out, do fake lashes, too. If you were interested in the accessories that you could wear that could help bring attention to your face I'd suggest some of those glasses that are like pointy at the end. And maybe some earings that are shaped like records.








Its all about looking nifty when your dressed like the fifties... LOL. I just made that up... But I hope this helps.
