50's inspired makeup

Hey everyone, last night I was watching the movie On The Road based on the book by Jack Kerouac. I fell in love with Mary-lou's (Kristen Stewart) and Camille's (kirsten Dunst) makeup, not to mention all the women in general. 

I kept the base very simple with just a little bit of contour and a deep plum blush. I used Nars Laguna for contouring and Nars Seduction for the blush. I noticed that their eye makeup was very simple but was accompanied by a statement lip. I used the Stila In the Light Palette (Kitten and Bare in the middle of the mobile lid and Bliss and Sandstone in the crease and outer corner) . I finished off the eyes by adding a thin winged eyeliner, the one I always come back to is the Liquid liner by Face of Australia; it is so easy to use I have never done a wing wrong! 

I wanted a striking red lip so I chose Ruby Red by Max Factor. This lipstick stay's on all day and it doesn't leave my lips look dry and cracked.

For the hair I wanted tight curls, since my hair is already relatively curly, all I had to do is add a bit more definition with a curler and some hairspray! 

Hope this inspires you to try out some classic makeup looks. I think its perfect for a night out or even a daytime date.
