Upcoming Vintage Makeup and Hair Workshops!

My glamorous friends and followers..  I just had a fabulous meeting with a gorgeous like-minded Vintage Hair and Makeup Artist, and we are planning our next collaborative Vintage Inspired Hair and Makeup Workshop!
Ladies, what era's and makeup styles interest you most and which vintage/modern pinups do you most admire?   I most adore the classic Pinup style of the 1950's.  Red lips, rosy-hued cheeks, winged liner and flirty, false lashes.  My personal style icon is Modern Pinup Dita Von Teese, bombshell glamour with savvy, business mind. ♥

The allure of Marilyn Monroe

I want to share with you a wonderful 'Marilyn Monroe' inspired makeup tutorial by talented UK Makeup Artist Lisa Eldridge. I was fascinated by this in-depth tutorial on Marilyn's iconic look, and tips and tricks used by her own personal makeup artist Whitey to create her unrivaled mystique, glamour and magnetism. Her allure is inimitable, and she remains one of my favorite Hollywood icons. ♥
