This is my adaptation of one of my favourite looks of all time- pin up/ retro/ 50s makeup.

A neutral eye with a lightly defined brown crease, groomed eyebrows and true red lips a la Marylin Monroe.

However, I decided to give it a modern twist by using bright orange lipstick (MAC- Vegas Volt)(although it unfortunately came out more red in the photos) and added some funky spiky modern eyelashes.

If you so wish you could also spice this look up by using a dark burgundy lipstick such as those featured in MAC's Cult of Cherry and seen on countless runways, thereby updating this classic with the addition of Autumn's hottest trend ;).

Hope you enjoy, and let me know if anyone wants a tutorial on this look, though it is pretty simple.

Have a lovely weekend!
