1950s Make up was simple no contouring highlighting etc. Just a matte face, simple eyes and red or pink lips. Think Marilyn Monroe , Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn.
This is my take on 50s make up.
Make up used :
Face
Clarins everlasting foundation SP15 colour 107
Benefit Boing Concealer 01
Benefit stay don’t stray eye primer light/ medium
Clarins mineral loose powder 02 medium
Clarins Blush Prodige 05 Rosewood
Eyes
Estee Lauder sugar cube white highlighter
Clarins the essential eyeake up palette in neutral
Beige for Transition colour
Matte Brown for crease.
Laura Geller Inkredible eyeliner in Blackbird.
Clarins supra volume mascara intense black.
Lips
Clarins lip liner in Roseberry
Clarins water lipstain in red
Laura Geller clear lip gloss City lights.

Beautiful – I love simple make-up routines. Just a little blush, a little mascara, and a touch-up on the brows and I’m off to the home office to work. My youngest spent her first year in college with AH’s classic look – the period where her eyebrows were thick and the cat-eye make-up.

Oh I have tried to get the cat look but can’t manage it. Luckily I found out in the 50s eyeliner was used close to the top eyeline if used at all. So I can manage that I bet she had a exciting and wonderful time on her course. X

I’ve tried the look too – it seems to work best on eyes that haven’t succumbed to years of gravity 😉
Yes, she had a wonderful time. She has since ditched that much make-up, it doesn’t fit her lifestyle of hiking and camping. Less is more in her opinion too.

Oh I think my eyes are defying gravity. Cat eyes are for the young ones. As you get older less is more.
Oh if your hiking lip protector and SPF is all you need.

I agree with you – the Cat eyes are for the young. 🙂 What do you think is a healthy dose of Vitamin D and the sun?

I think we need to get out and get vitamin d as much as we can without getting sunburnt. I take vitamin d as well due to my Thyroid affecting my bones . No problem in buying some if you live in Wisconsin long winters there. The scientists are looking into it helping against coronavirus !

Yes, I agree with you. Healthy doses of Vit D are good for lots of things and even the virus! I’m making sure we get our daily dose. I take more during the winter months. This past winter was extra long!

Also if your out in the sun don’t forget the SPF. As for time limits not sure if there is any . Just don’t stay out to long and get burnt or dehydrated.
