Shape & Defining Features

Square Contour

Make sure that foundation does not stop short of the jawline. Round the bones under brows with “bronze” and finish with false lashes.

Aim: To strengthen features, minimize points. Curve brows to break “squareness.” Cut off jawline with dark powder. Brush off angles.

False Eyelash Tips

For a strong hold, apply adhesive to false lashes, count to 20 and then apply over a clean lashline. Once dry, apply mascara over both natural and false lashes.

What’s that white pencil for?

White pencil is used to accentuate your eyes. You will want to line the inside of your eyelids with it to make your eyes appear larger on stage.

Colors

Blusher & Bronzer

A deep, rich blush is perfect for this look. Depending on the color of lipstick you prefer, you will match your blush accordingly. Peach or bronze tones look great with a tawny blush and pink or red tones work with a plum blush.

Eye shadow & Liner

This look is all about the eyes and lips. Pale beige will go all over the lid and dark (almost black) eye shadow or a thick eyeliner line will go into the crease of the eye to create depth and shadow.

Near the brow (in the upper arch), the inside corners of the eyes and on top of cheek bones, add a bronze shadow for highlighting.

Lipstick, Liner & Nails

Want to wear red lipstick? This is your chance. This look combines the early 60s Hollywood glamorous look with other techniques that were popular in the 60s.
