How To- Pin-Up Girl Make-up (Betty Paige/Dita Von Teese)

Give me some swing music, some clothes that make a girl look like a girl, glamorous hair and make-up.....I'd love to walk in in the 30's and 40's in a pair of high heels with some great hat with feathers or something fun from that era....

I was raised with old movies of those days....and hunting in antique malls.....so I love me a good vintage treasure from those years.....I've got vintage PJ's, jewelry, little Asian figures, high heels....all kinds of retro rarities!

Both my grandmother and great grandmother are still alive to tell me of the fun they had back in those days.....dances and high heels, leopard print bathing suits...

So bust out your Victory Rolls....and watch this little video fresh from my Youtube oven.....




thanks Lydia for requesting this look!!!

This is an old post I know, but I've got a fancy dress party to go to on Saturday with the theme 'Through the decades' so I was planning on going as a 1940s forces sweetheart/pinup and I knew you must've done a makeup look along those lines so was trawling through your blog (when I really should be working) and found this one - and the marilyn monroe one to help me look the part!!
So thank you Kandee!!
I'll be posting pictures of the finished look on my blog if you want to take a look after the weekend!
