Since in English verbs often form nouns, posters began to be called pin-ups, which were hung on walls using pins. The content of these posters was always the same - a young beautiful woman, personifying a free lifestyle - a relaxed erotic pose, a very light outfit and bright make-up.

Images of such contented and daring young ladies with a partially nude, gorgeous figure on the covers of magazines at that time became a real sensation. Circulations of publications using this technique were unusually high. Some of them even began to specialize exclusively on the beauty of the female body. For example, Beauty Parade, Eveful and Flirt. Soon another phenomenon spread - it became fashionable to hang the most successful images of the listed gloss on the walls. Pictures with graceful brunettes, daring red and delicate blondes began to decorate the rooms and cabins of cars of almost all American bachelors.

Despite the fact that the pin-up style was very erotic and provocative, the intimate parts of the girls' bodies always remained covered. A popular plot of posters was a beautiful woman who was caught off guard at disguise. Mandatory attributes of the beauties were stockings, casually looking out from under the skirt, studs, deep cleavage. Pin-up make-up emphasized the expressive look and sexy lips.

Liquid tonal and friable powders will become assistants in this difficult matter. The first is used to mask the dark circles around the eyes and redness, the second - for the overall alignment of the tone of the face.

Eyebrows

• Their shape should be as natural as possible, but at the same time, as if slightly raised and curved. The thread-like form with this type of makeup does not combine at all.
• To learn to pluck eyebrows correctly, you should at least once ask for a correction to a professional makeup artist. Next will be enough time to independently remove growing hairs.
• If the eyebrows are not thick or dark, they can be slightly tinted with a pencil or dark shadows of natural shades.
• Professional makeup artists also recommend applying the gel to fix the eyebrows. This measure will make make-up pin up more accurate and relevant standards of glossy magazines.

Eyelids

Regardless of the type of appearance, pin-up makeup uses shades of beige or pastel shades. It is advisable to arm yourself with light, medium tones and darker shadows of the same color. The make-up of the eyelids is performed in stages - first, a base of natural color is applied, then a moving part of the eyelid and the area under the outer edge of the eyebrow are set off in a lighter tone. Dark shadows are used to emphasize the crease. All borders should be well shaded. Using the shadows of natural colors allows you to achieve a complete erasure of the boundaries between the two types of shadows.

Arrow

The most important thing that distinguishes makeup pin up from all the others is the emphasis on the arrows on the upper eyelids. They should be beautiful, expressive and thick. The liner color is preferably black. In addition to these criteria, it is worth noting that the arrows should not be too long, their upper corner should playfully bend upwards. To draw the arrows, you can use a liquid liner or liner.

Eyelashes

The next step in creating makeup pin-up - treatment of eyelashes. With a perfectly made make-up, they should be long and well bent upwards. Particular emphasis is placed on the outer corners of the eyes, where the hairs should be lengthened. Makeup artists use the following technique: false eyelashes of increased length are cut in half, the halves are glued to different eyes, in the area from the middle to the outer corner. Then all the eyelashes make up lengthening mascara.

Lips

The final step in the work on the makeup of pin-up - the creation of seductive lips. For the work to be successful, it is necessary to use the red outline. They describe the natural shape of the mouth, indenting 1-2 mm. This technique is used because the red color visually reduces the lips. Then a lipstick is applied with a brush.

Flies

An original and very playful image can be created by drawing a small fly on your cheek or above your upper lip. This technique will be especially useful if pin-up makeup is done for a photo shoot.
