How to Do Sixties Retro Halloween Makeup Video

My name is Shontelle. I'm with MAC Cosmetics. And we are going to do a really pretty 60's girly look on Lea hair. The 60's really is one of those open eras. I'm gonna go a bit more that PanAm, I would say, Airline attendant, but in those days, stewardess was the appropriate term. So, we're gonna call this more stewardess makeout. Whether you're doing a 60's (twiggy?) or something like what we're about to do, 60's really is all about foundation. Women wore foundation in this era. So, I'm starting with MAC Studio's Sculpt foundation. We're using a color that's a little bit lighter than Lea's skin. I think the 60's has a very particular texture to the skin. It's more of a creamy matte. So, now that I've applied that pale foundation to the center of the skin, I'm coming in with a color that matches Lea's skin tone. Around the edges. Just a scrape is really nice even foundation look. Just a warning, wash this area right here. Nothing kills it more than when somebody walks past you and there's pale skin here or your blush doesn't quite sweep into the hairline and you have this nice triangle that just looks a little bit silly. And because this is a pretty girly look, I'm gonna start with a blush first. For this, I'm starting with powder blush, and I'm working in between a bright baby pink and a bright peach. Also, I think it's important to make sure that you're keeping that blush, about the width is 2 fingers away from the smile lines. I think one thing that we did see in the 60's very much so, was that technology and makeup wasn't quite really very refined yet. So, concealer tended to be a full coverage concealer. Eye shadow was pretty matte and had quite a bit of coverage to it. So, this is one those times where you can take a concealer and be really aggressive with the amount of coverage that you use. All right, so now that we have a concealer applied, we're gonna use an eye shadow called, Vapor. It's not quite matte, it's not quite fattened. It's just a little bit chew white to be natural. I'm also really pushing it into the inner corner as well, to create a little bit of a highlight. This is gonna be a completed eye shadow for our 60's look. But, what would the 60's be without a little bit of an eye liner. Eye liner tended to be a bit thicker, if you're talking about fashion. When we're talking about a stewardess's airline attendant, for example, the liner would traditionally have stayed a bit more close to the 50's. And when it comes to doing eye liner, choose the brush that's the width of the liner that you want. I think it's also a good idea to break your eye liner down into smaller, more manageable pieces. So, to start, I'm just doing a simple sort straight line in the center of each eye. And I'm laying the brush down at it's widest point so that the width of the brush is creating a line for me. Also, eye liner would tend to wanna skip a little bit and that top edge, can sometimes look a little bit raggedy, so it's great to have a clean angled brush on hand. That clean angled brush, you can simply just over the edges of the liner and it will push everything together. Now, from here, I usually will do on myself, that inner corner of the eye liner with my eyes open to really connect that inner portion of the liner. Now, all we have left to do is to tough it, which tends to be that little corner on the outer edge of the eye. So, first, we'll just simply do a nice straight line that tapers into the other corner of the eye. If you feel at this point that you're not up to doing a little cat tail, you can skip it. If you do wanna take it a little bit further, what you're gonna do is just take your brush in the corner of the eye and sketch a really thin, a little baby line. Now, all I have to do is just draw a thin little triangle back into that eye line that I already have there. And I just have to color it in. All right, from here, we're gonna do a lash, but it's gonna be a bit more of a pretty girly lash; nothing too serious. Lashes tended to be a little bit more thick and dense. I'm using the MAC number 3 lashes, number 1 lashes are another choice that I like as well. A lash that has a longer tail to it, tends to be the wrong type of lash for this era. The 60's almost always had a lash that was heavier or thicker in the center. I'm gonna apply a little bit of the duo adhesive to the end of an orange wood stick. It helps ensure that you really apply the right amount. Now, Lea has a really nice lash base. So, I'm able to just basically set this false lash right on top of her own natural lashes. And the using the orange wood stick to really help press the lash in to the last one, especially in her inner corner, since it's a little bit deep set. Ideally, what you're looking for to with the 60's make up, you're seeing the bend of the lash end and you're still seeing a little bit of that liner continue out. Now, you could also fill the brow a bit, for a 60's look. But, I think, in Lea's case, her brows has are really nice strong shape. This is actually an ideal shape. Here, almost there. The under eye area, water line, as well. It was just this really pretty beige. So, in order to accomplish that, I'm gonna bring a nude eye pencil. Okay. So, for this look in particular, we are avoiding doing mascara on the bottom. Now, what makes this different from a 50's look is that pink, there was that candid pink and just a little bit of a white pink. So, for that, I'm gonna use a pale pink lip pencil. This one is called In Synch. I'm not really gonna worry about lining the shape, I'm just kinda coloring in the lip with this pencil. Now, we're gonna go with a white beige and a pink called Saint Germain. Now, what could be really ideal is if you use a retractable lip brush. You can actually put that custom blended color all over the tip. And then you can just turn the brush inside, throw it in your bag and now, you've got your touch up stick for the rest of the night. I'm patting this one rather than painting it on. Voila.
