Go retro this New Year


RX for Brown Skin for African American skin care

 


In the past few years the retro style has gained a lot of popularity, with women choosing to use their African American skin care product to re-create the look of ladies from the 1940s, 50s and 60s. This could be a fun way to ring in the New Year with an old look, but how do you pull it off?


Recently, Cleveland.com spoke to Casey Weisend and his staff at Scott Talbot Salonspa in Akron and Canton about how to create that fun retro look. First, the makeup experts said that you should be sure to define your eyebrows by filling them in with a pencil. Next, you need dark red lipstick, in the style of the dramatic lip colors they would wear in the 40s.


If dark lipstick isn't your style, then the makeup artists suggest trying a variety of shades of eyeshadow colors. Try applying a light shade all over the lid and up to the brow, a medium shade just on the lid and then a very dark shade of the crease to create a smoky eye.


BecomeGorgeous.com suggests that to further the retro look, add a patch of color to your cheeks, just be sure to get the right blush for your complexion.
