Although it may be the 21st century, that doesn’t mean an age-old look for pinup girls isn’t as appealing in 2019. We will always be proud of simple makeup that pairs well with bold lipsticks, winged eyeliner and a dramatic victory roll hairstyle. Do you think this is something you would like to give a try? You can bring retro makeup to life by following the steps below!
STEP 1: PRIME YOUR SKIN
You don’t want to waste time creating a pinup look that doesn’t last. Decide if you prefer a matte or glowing finish, then apply either the L’Oreal Paris Infallible pro-glow lock makeup primer or L’Oreal Paris Infallible pro-matte lock makeup primer.
STEP 2: APPLY FOUNDATION
The next step is to apply some coverage for that porcelain pin-up look. Apply the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Lightweight Fresh Wear Foundation for flawless skin. Use a stippling motion with the L’Oreal Paris Infallible Blend Artist Foundation Blender.
STEP 3: CONCEALER TOUCHING UP
Take note of areas that need extra coverage or brightening after applying foundation. Apply the L’Oreal Paris Full Wear Concealer Waterproof Full Coverage to those areas. Blend everything together for a natural look.
STEP 4: APPLY BLUSH
We’re going to skip the highlight and contour, and just go straight to blush. This is because makeup used to look simple back in the day. Apply some L’Oreal Paris Paradise Fruit-Scented Blush Makeup to your apples, and then sweep up towards your temples.
STEP #5 – SETTING POWDER OR SPRAY OFFENSIVELY CAPTURES YOUR LOOK
After your makeup is done, finish it off with a quick spray of the L’Oreal Paris Infallible PRO-Sweep and Lock Loose Setting Powder.
STEP #6 – APPLY LIGHTEYE SHADOW
It’s time to do your eye makeup! Keep it simple when it comes to your eyes. Use the L’Oreal Paris Paradise Enchanted Scented Eyeshadow Palette in the lightest shades. One color can be used all over the lid, or two colors to make a subtle contour in your crease. You choose!
STEP #7 – TRACE KITTEN TIPS
Next, draw your lash lines using the L’Oreal Paris Infallible flash cat eye waterproof brush tip liquid eyeliner. Use the stencil at the corners of the eyes to create the perfect kitten flick.

STEP #8 – APPLY MASCARA
No matter what decade you are in, a complete eye makeup look requires a set of layered lashes. Make sure to use the L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara Base/Primer first, and then apply the L’Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara In Mystic Black.
STEP #9 PENCIL IN THE EYEBROWS
Super-filled-in eyebrows were not the style back in the day. Rather, the eyebrows looked natural and full because they weren’t over-plucked. For a natural look, you can use a fine eyebrow pencil such as the L’Oreal Paris Brow Stylist Definer Mechanical Pencil to make small hair-like strokes through your eyebrows.
STEP #10 – FINISH WITH A BOLD RED LIPE
Don’t forget to pucker up! For the perfect pout, use the L’Oreal Paris Colour Riche Matte Lip Liner In-Matte-Uated With You to line your lips. Make sure you highlight your cupid’s bow by lightly overlining your lips. To finish, grab the L’Oreal Paris Rouge Signature Matte Liquid Lipstick, I Don’t.
