PIN-UP Look! ^_^

Hey guys!

Is monday, well... for some ppl is already tuesday, but! Let's start the week with my favourite look! PIN-UP!

I love how classical, elegant and sexy thi look can be!! perfect for day and nicght and for those who have little eyes ;) I've seen tons of tutorials based on the classical pin-up look, and some others a bit different, so! Based on these, I made my own one ;)

Let's get started, so!

**Apply eye base all over your lid, and then with a classic shading brush, take a bit of your fave powder and apply it all over the base, this will smooth the look even more :) (I haven't done my foundation, yet ^^)

**Next, with a fluffy brush, take a bit of any peachy color and apply it all over your crease area and under your brow none, and blend well.

*Now, with a small shading brush, take any brown/bronze shadow and another yellow one and mix them a bit, next, apply that all over the main area of your lid, apply as much as you want and blend it with the peachy color. This is to lighten up the look and to add a bit of shimmery to the whole thing ;)

** Now to give more definition, with a pencil brush, take a dark brown shadow and apply it in the outer corner of your lid, draw the line and make sure it goes along the crease area just a tiny bit....Looks messy, isn't?

...That's why the key is BLENDING!, with a clean fluffy brush, blend, blend those colors out, we want definition, but not something too strong ;)...See the difference?

** Now with an angle brush, take a bit of that peachy shadow over your lower lash line, and with the same brush, take a bit of the dark brown shadow and just press the brush a bit over your lash line but only on the outer corner and with a flat and small brush, blend those colors together.
Next, line your waterline with any white liner, this will make your eyes look more awake and will lighten up the look. With a clean angle and smaller brush, take a gold shadow and apply it on the inner corner of your eyes and kinda draw a line that goes over your lash line (lower and upper) and with a pencil brush, smudge those lines as they go to the center of your lids.

**The funny part!...LINE YOUR EYES!, We want a strong wing and very well defined line, so take your favourite liner brush or with the same one your liquid eyeliner has, line your eyes and draw that wing as dramatic and strong as you want ;) (if you want some good and very useful advices and tricks as how to draw a cat eye, check out Siobhán's [LetzMakeup] tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QA4u5T1SouU  she's AWESOME)

** Now, apply your foundation and set it with your fave powder, also do your brows, and make sure they are a tiny bit stronger than usual, because for this look, the strong and very well defined brows are very important! (For an awesome and crazy useful brow tutorial, check this one by MissChievous http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLTAKxv07B8 )... Highlight the area u nder your arch with a lighter shadow and apply your fave mascara.

**Now the lips!... I love red lips, I reaaally do and love to wear my lips red as much as I can, lol!...ok, so apply a tiny bit of your eye base all over your lips, or, if you have, a lip primer would be fantastic!.. Now with a red lipliner, line your lips, we want some nice and contoured lips so, if you have thin lips, line over the outer natural line of your lips, this will help them look bigger but yet full, and, if you have thick lips, line the over the natural inner line, that will help you to make them look a bit more flat and nice ;)... Next fill your lips with that liner, and apply your favourite red lipstick!

*Contour your cheecks and apply a little of any bronze or gold highlight and... you are done!!! :D

Hope you liked this tutorial, and comment! ;)

Love,
