Gwen Stefani and Dita Von Teese. These are two celebrities who embrace the pin up makeup and rock it with their very own styles. Wearing pin-up style makeup doesn’t have to be super retro or only for special occasions and this post is to show you how to incorporate it into everyday wear.

Personally, I find that a red lip and wing liner is my favourite way to look like I’ve made an effort, when actually I haven’t. Although some people may not have the knack to do a wing liner, I feel like the key is often finding a liner that works for you. Personally, I’m best with either a pen or a liquid liner. Gel liners just aren’t for me, but as with all of my blogs, you can swap products out for whatever suits you best to make a look for you – after all, no two people are the same.

I hope you enjoy this look and let me know what kind of makeup look you go for when you really can’t be bothered but to make it look like you’ve put loads of effort in.
