Todays Look: 50s Pin-up



The Pin up girl, is another name for a model who is visable everywhere you look, at lease during the  1950's. Pin-up girls are intended for displays such as magazines, posters, billboards etc. Pin-up girls may be models, fashion models, or actresses.

In todays world, many people can achieve the pin-up look, and it is constantly re-created. Even by those with beautiful tatoos covering there entire body e.g Kat Von D.

The Pin-up look is typically a flawless matte face, matte eyeshadows, black winged liner, and bold red lip. If you wish you can add a beauty mark, which was popular during the days of the pin up girl.

I chose the typical pin up look, and added 2 beauty marks.
