Luscious Lashes

- Accentuate a kitten eye liner with some clever lash placement for a 1950’s flick for the Fifties look, adds Sanni.
Red Hot and Pastel Pale
- Darker, plum or cherry-coloured lipstick and nails combined with strong eyes are a key bridal vintage look this season, saysAriana Marcantonio and Emma Dixon from Miss Dixiebelle Vintage Hair and Beauty Parlour, UK. As seen worn by Kirsten Stewart and part of Kate Moss’s new matte lipstick range, ‘oxblood’ is the colour to be used on lips, agrees Phil Mowat, from Beauty Call, in London, UK.
- Natural and earthy colours can be used as well, adds Nadia Greeff, from Nadia Greeff Make-up Art, in Cape Town, South Africa.Although these dark plums and dramatic eye liner are popular right now, by mid-2013, Sanni predicts that the stronger liner and pastel lips of the 1960’s will be brought to the forefront.
