First of all, thank you for you feedback, thanks for sharing yesterday's post.
So, the 50's...Audrey Hepburn was a fashion icon at that time, Marilyn Monroe as well. During the 50's they tend to draw an upward line on the upper lid, the lips had a more natural look, but the red colour was still the favorite of the time. The eyebrows were getting thicker comparing to the previous decades.
Marilyn Monroe was an exception to the upward liner. Her eyeliner was getting thicker to the middle of the upper lid and a bit descending at the outer corner of the lid.
The eye make up was accompanied by a few fake eyelashes applied on the outer corner of the eye.
Audrey Hepburn had very special eyebrows. The so called gull wing eyebrows were complementing her gazelle eyes. This way of describing her face became so famous and they are still used to describe the slender eyebrows, and the big shy eyes.

I also did this look on a second person. The eyeliner is the one that follows Marilyn Monroe's look.
Love this style! The 50s were a great time in style and fashion and I must admit that I rock that cat eye and red lip very often with my look.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips I'll be sure to use them next time.
