Sometimes, we tend up to dress up someone from somewhere. We could dress up as anybody we want to pretend to be as long as we have the necessary things to be more like that someone. Playing up someone’s role is exciting. Have you seen the music video of Christina Aguilera named “Lady Marmalade?” In the music video, they are looking hot and sexy with this kind of hair style. Below are simple steps on how to dress up as a Pin up model.
* Pick a 1940s hairstyle that complements your face shape. The 1940s hairstyle is usually a mixture of pin-curls, side-reverse rolls,- or victory rolls. Do the hairstyle yourself, find a wig or go to a stylist. One of the hottest pin-up hairstylists is located in Las Vegas where you can make an appointment with Candace Campbell at Electric Chair Hair Salon. EBay is a great source for wigs.
* Choose your makeup. Seek a professional’s opinion on the right colors for your complexion. The 1940s produced a natural look that focused on eyebrows, eyelashes, and lips. Your eyebrow color should match your hair. The brows should be shaped with a long thick arch that tapers off into a point. Once styled, eyebrows are emphasized with an eyebrow pencil. The color of the eyelashes depends upon your hair color; dark hair wears black while blonde and redheads wear brown. Natural looking fake eyelashes or extensions can be used to emphasize eyes. Eye shadow colors should be neutral with highlighting that deepens the eyelid. Cheek rouge should produce the effect of a slight blush. Lip color should be as dark and deep as your skin tone allows. The lips are lined in the same color as the lipstick.
* Corsets are actually an exception rather than the rule in the classic pin-up style. Deal directly with a professional courtier when choosing yours. If you decide to use a corset, be sure that it is understated so that it doesn't dominate the look. The Corset Factory offers a nice selection.
* Dress in costume. Search the Internet for “World War II Pin-up Models” to see the wide range of costume ideas. Usually, the look was a naughty girl next door. Everything from a sailor suit to the wayward country girl can work. You can buy the clothes vintage or brand new items tailored retro. Vintage clothes can be found in your local thrift stores or online at sites like Myvintagehut.com. Larger urban areas offer stores with retro clothing lines.
* Your hosiery and undergarments can make or break the look. The hose are usually vintage thigh highs with classic girdles and full brassieres. Bernie Dexter has just introduced a new line of undergarments that has painstakingly reproduced the lines of vintage girdles, bras and slips.
* The most identifiable 1940s shoes are the open-toe platforms. Remember that red is a sassy color and can make that look!
* Find tattoo alternatives for retro look. You need a tattoo to seal your classic pin-up look and make it contemporary. Choose a permanent tattoo or a temporary with the vitality pf the real thing. A quick Internet search will provide you with a long list of vendors.
A hair style also depends on the look you want to have. Although hair styles can look classy and are easy to produce, we should consider the shape face we have and the kind of personality which will go with it. If you want to look flirty and sexy, pin up hair styles are best for you.
