PINUP COSTUME

This year I'm totally boring and have zero plans for Halloween.  So in place of a new costume tutorial, I figured I'd do a little reminiscing tonight and look back at a favorite costume of the past!

I have always adored the pinup look.  Something about women of that era....they always look so classy and gorgeous!  So when I was completely costume-less a few years back, I decided to channel my best "Bettie Page" style.

The look is really simple to get - so if you're looking for a last-minute costume maybe you can consider it!  There are literally tons of YouTube tutorials on pinup hair and makeup.

Anywho, I watched Sarah Walker's Dita Von Teese video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2p1BNKid-k) about a hundred times and imitated it the best I could.  To be honest, if you have a pencil skirt, red lipstick & heels, and a great winged eyeliner, you can nail this look so easily!



About a month ago I tried to revamp this look for a photo shoot, but this time I changed up the hair a little.  Here is the tutorial I used - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkiYhExw3kM  Mine didn't turn out nearly as good as hers, but maybe you will have better luck!



Happy Halloween!  I hope everyone has a fun and safe night! xo!
