Light retro look

Heres a look I did with kind of a retro look to it but it isn't too dramatic. First I put an eyeshadow primer on then I put the medium shade on the inner three quarters of my eyelids just up to the crease. Next I blend the dark shade on the outer corner and in the crease and make sure to blend the dark shade very well so you dont see the edges too harsh. Next I put black creme eye liner on, making it thicker on the outer corner and slanting up. I put a small bit of black shadow on the edge of the liner with a small angle brush just to make it a softer line. Under my brow and on the inner corner I put the highlight, it always brightens the eyes. Something different about this look is what I did under my bottom lashes, instead of a liner I put the medium shade all the way acoss the bottom and its quite a light shade so that brightens the eyes a lot and gives it quite a retro look. You can put primer under aswell to make sure it'll stay and show up more. Next I put on some lenghtening mascara and then thickening mascara to make my lashes really stand out. Hope everyone loves this look! I'll make another one of these for shading and highlighting the face very soon!

Retro look

Here is a look that I think is kinda retro with the thick black liner and bold red lipstick. The liner should be quite thin on the inner corner on most people it should start getting thicker just around or just after the pupil. I also made sure to make to my cheeks rosy
with a red tone blush.
Here's what I used:
Inner three quarters of eye lid up to the crease: Covergirl -French Vanilla
Outer corner and in crease: Merle Norman -Cappuccino
Just outer corner: Covergirl -Black
Under brow and on inner corner of eye: Almay -Mother Of Pearl (for a more dramatic look, which I did, put a white eye liner on inner corner of eye first and then blend with the light shadow)
Under the eye: Put a small amount of waterproof pencil liner right under lashes just on outer corner, then with a small angle brush blend the cappuccino shadow into to liner only on the outer half of the eye.
Inner half of under the eye: Cover girl -French Vanilla
Plus I added fake eyelashes just to the outer corner for more of a cat-eye look

Audrey Hepburn look

Here's a look with a sort of Audrey Hepburn style to my eyes. She usually had quite thick eyeliner on top and just a little bit of the dark shadow under the eye, just on the outer corner. I put the shadow on the bottom with a small slanted brush and made sure to blend it so it doesn't look too dramatic. From pictures I've seen it looks like she usually used more natural colours like browns and neutrals. For this look i used natural warm colours for all the makeup i was wearing so it would all blend nicely together.

The colours for eyeshadow i used are:
~Medium -french vanilla by covergirl
~dark -matte dark brown
~highlight -matte white (put on lightly so its not too white)
~just a tiny bit of black shadow blended on outer corner of eyelid
