Heyy! This is one of my most favourite and easiest looks to do as its very simple but striking. This look was very popular in the 50's and is a look that will never get old as you can add any lip colour with the bold eye liner.
For this look I used a neutral eye shadow that is the colour of my skin to add a base for my eye liner and used a creamy shimmery colour to highlight my brow bone. I do normally use the Rimmel eye liner as the brush is very fine but for this look I used the body shop eye liner as the brush is quite thick and works really well in creating thick flicks. The technique that I find best for my eye liner is starting at the end as I like to perfect the flick first then work inwards as this helps me get the thickness right along my lid. Personally I like to have the end of my eye liner thicker than the rest of the line on my lid as this enhances the shape of my eye.

I then added a few coats and by a few coats I mean lots, lol of my volume million mascara to add thickness. To give this look the statement finish I applied my body shop lipstick in shade 53. Although I have called this look Retro Red the lipstick is actually a pinky red depending on how dark you apply it. As the lipstick is a bold colour I used a lip brush to perfect the edges on my lip, you can use the matching lip liner for this but I can never find lip liners to match all my lipsticks and so I prefer to use my brush which gives it a neater finish. Another tip before applying lipstick is to put some gloss or Vaseline on first as this softens your lips and helps your lipstick go on smoother and adds a nice shine to your lips. Plus no one likes dry lips.
Enjoy this look and leave me a comment if you would like to see any particular make up look :)
