In the colder months, (I'm not yet kidding myself that it's spring!), a subtle version of the classic 50s pin-up style makeup look is one that I always go to and never fails me. Must-haves for this look include an 'oh-so-naturel' pink flush of blush which for me, comes in the form of B
obbi Brown's Blush in 'Nectar', a serious amount of winged liner which at the moment is my
Maybelline Gel Liner and lastly a Snow White-esque matte red lip and for this, none can compete with MAC's Ruby Woo, the fairest most classic matte red of them all. I've also had a slight love affair with
Maybelline's, 'The Rocket' mascara which I find ticks both the volumising and lengthening boxes- perfect for giving your lashes that enviable, pin-up style flutter.
