Modernizing Classics

 Incorporating different elements of a vintage look can breathe fresh air into your makeup.You can't beat the timeless quality of the classics. It's best to look around and see what might be best for you, it might be the "pin up" girl look or the "Twiggy", just experiment! Here are a few tips to get you on your way to modernizing the classic looks you love.

1. Go all out with eyebrows and lashes. Vintage style really focuses on a dramatic eye that is also subtle.
2. Make sure your eyebrows are perfectly shaped. 
3. Then you can either pile on the mascara or fake eye lashes. This creates the look of a natural beauty that has a little bit of flair. Line your eyelids for a cat eye effect depending on how dramatic you want to go.
4. Break out the red lipstick,this is a staple in any pinup girl's wardrobe. Experiment with deep reds or maroons to see which suits you.

Just remember the key to vintage looks is perfection, just take your time and you will be on your way to modernizing your favorite classic look.
