Retro Chick Presents: Make Up Tutorial – Retro Glamour

So todays make up tutorial is the classic red lipstick and black eyeliner.

I’ve never really understood the association of red lips with romance, unless your snogging partner (don’t you just love that word? Snogging.) likes wearing red lipstick too, and you like to wear it all round your face.

To me red lipstick screams classic, elegant, untouchable sex appeal. A look for the woman at a smoky bar drinking neat scotch and subtly licking the rim of her glass first so as not to leave lipstick marks (handy tip for you there) and silently cutting dead the men that try to approach her.

Years of trying every available product have taught me that a liquid liner with a firm tip, either silicone or a pen are easier to use than a brush, so that’s what I use here. I also forgot to mention how I do the eyeliner, I try and draw one fine line from the centre to the corner, and then use short light strokes to join the inner corners to the middle. Still getting used to this video thing and I forget to mention things!

These videos were all done at once, so no chance to sort out the sound yet I’m afraid! Tomorrow I’m doing a smoky eyes look. You can subscribe to my You Tube channel here to make sure you’re the first to know about it!

This is the look I’ll be rocking at the Havana Ball on Saturday.

    I love it!! I had to run on my lunch hour to the library to check out your video and I’m so glad I did! I love the old movie feel and the segments! You need to show me how to do all the video editing stuff! I think I can do some of it on my Mac, I just haven’t played around with it yet. I will say: the audio is a bit off, but everything else is spot on! You look & sound fab! Can’t wait to see more of your tutorials 🙂

      I’m not sure why the audio is out of sync for some people? I shall do some investigating.

    Have a great Havana Ball tonight, I love the look.
    What are you wearing I wonder.
    Loving the music on them all too.
    Sync was out for me too, but not so much that it took away from the tutorial

    Do you dye your own hair? If it is, could you tell me what brand/colour it is? Such a beautiful shade! Thanks
