Back in the 1940's, women were using a lot of makeup. Part of the reason was because makeup started being sold in drug stores. This made it accessible to more women. Women generally wore a full face of makeup every day. Even when headed to work in the factories of the day. Rosie the Riveter was a great example of the ladies of the day. Full makeup - Hair done - Working their behinds off.
So quick and easy (minus the Victory Curl - which was NOT easy). Here's how to get the look...
You're going to want a full coverage liquid foundation. If you like, you can add a concealer to your medium coverage liquid foundation (like I did).
Apply the foundation (and concealer) to your whole face. You want a good amount of coverage, but not cakey looking.
Using a powder finish (like this one), set your foundation by applying powder all over your face.
Next, use a fan brush (or a very light handed application) of a red blush. Apply to the apples of the cheeks, sweeping up toward the hairline across from the outside edge of your eyes. You don't want a obvious line, blend well.
Use a light pink or brown eye shadow and apply shadow to the lids of the eyes only. Add no other color.
Use a brow kit or a color matched (to your eyebrows) shadow and fill in the brows giving them a finished look.
Apply a dark brown or black eyeliner to the top eye lid, adding a wing if possible. Apply a generous amount of mascara to make the eyes pop.
Finish the look with a bright red lipstick or lipstain. If using a lipstain or a matte lipstick, add a bit of gloss to get the glossy look.
You've got it. Spend 87 minutes trying to achieve the Victory Curls with your hair and you've got a great look. Just as awesome today as it was back them.
Give it a try and have an amazing day!
