Although the thought behind this post is wedding related, this one is something that anyone who loves the classic look of black eyeliner and a red lip could use. My wedding dress is a being custom made for me by my Mom and
it's a vintage Vogue pattern from the 1950's. I don't want to look costumey, like I'm going for a 50's theme but the classic makeup of that time period is beautiful and timeless. I wear black liner on a regular basis and I also love a bold lip. Choosing this classic look but in an amped up version means I won't look overly made up but I'll just be a better version of my everyday self.
Over the weekend I caught a replay of the movie Burlesque on TV. The scene where Christina is singing "Bound To You" is incredibly striking. The song is beautiful but her look in that scene is stunning. I love her makeup. In this movie of over the top costumes and crazy makeup and hair, this scene is a stark contrast. She looks sultry but also soft and beautiful. For more on my classic and retro inspired wedding makeup, including some great tutorials, read more after the jump.
