Pin up, pin up - the style that was born in Americaand bloomed in the 50's. Pin-up he was called because the icons of this style were depicted on posters, calendars and just pictures that could be pinned to the wall. The ideal of pin-up was the "girl from the house in the neighborhood" - as much naturalness as possible and as little pretentiousness as in appearance and manner; liveliness and health, easy naivety, openness and a sense of freedom.





Therefore, in this style, we now see dresses withhigh waist of simple fabrics that look "deliberately" everyday, simple hairstyles and shoes on a heel or wedge. The most famous pin-up girl was, probably, Marilyn Monroe - the whole world remembers a shot from the famous film, when the dress of her heroine is raised by a stream of air from under the grille of the metro. Remember how it was painted Monroe - this is pin-up.

Prepare the skin for a person's foundation; if you have skinfatty or mixed type, use a matting cream. Use a concealer to hide, if any, any minor flaws, and especially - circles under the eyes. Apply a little powder of natural shade, trying to make the skin on the forehead and nose (the so-called T-zone) a little lighter.

Oval face will look softer, and pin-up prefers softlyforms. When applying make-up, remember that you should not "stretch" and the more so the face - the classic of that era preferred external health and confidence to "aristocratic" elegance, and the external manifestation of all this was fixed in style.


Apply blush. They should be warm shade and not very dark - for example, peach. Use the round brush; Blush spots should also turn out to be soft, rounded.


Bring your eyebrow in the eye pencil if they areyou light, or correct their shape, if dark. Eyebrows should be flawless, almost painted shape. Eye shadow should not be colored. Choose two tones that are close to the skin; after applying the base, gently shade the light part throughout the century, and leave the dark for the outside side of the folds of the upper eyelid. They should look like real shadows, a play of light, not shadows, cosmetics.

But the best way to use the black is to use black. Apply neat, slightly elongated arrows as close to the eyelashes. As carefully as possible, make up black mascara eyelashes. The longer and thicker, the better.


Lipstick is best to choose a juicy red, butgiving a solid gradient. You can use softer shades, but usually the lips in pin-up should look bright and tempting. Pencil for lips choose on a darker tone and outline your lips so that they visually become more complete (slightly protruding beyond the natural line in the middle of the lips).


That's all - make-up is ready. Supplement the image of the appropriate style clothing and accessories (large beads and, for example, rim in the hair).
