Hi girls!
It's the first time I post something on here..im very excited.. XD
This look is inspired by 1950's make up,
But instead of using ordinary red lipstick and thick black eyeliner, I used hot pink lipstick and lime colour eyeshadow.
So it doesn't look so old and is more suitable for now days (esp. spring time!! YAY!)
I took picture of every step of this look, so if anyone wants, I can post it.

All i used :
eyeshadow : Missha yellow green eyeshadow,
eye liner : Mac Gel black eyeliner
lip : Mac Amplified lipstick "impassioned"
Foundation : Chanel Vitalumiere "10 - Nude"
Primer : Makeup for ever HD primer "blue"
blush : Mac matte blush "Harmony"
Eyebrow : The face shop eyebrow cake "Brown"







p.s too sad i can't post bigger picture ...
