Finding the right foundation shade is a little difficult. Whenever you are buying any foundation, always match the shade on your neck instead of using a patch on your hand. This will give you the shade which matches your facial skin much better.

Use the foundation to cover your face and your neck and cover it well.

Step 2: Use Blush Very Sparingly

The USP of vintage-inspired retro makeup is that they lay a lot of emphasis on the eyes. So blush and foundation are very minimal. When you are using the blush, choose a very delicate pink or red colour for it. Vintage make-up is also inspired a lot by its natural appeal, so blush is just there and never too much.

Step 3: Define Your Eyebrows Right

Vintage retro makeup considers the eyes and lips the most important features. So when you are getting your brows done, you would be defining them well. Strong eyebrows in the 50s and 60s made a very bold statement. Make sure you have clean eyebrows and all the stray hair has been plucked. Dust a highlighter just below your brows to make them pop out even more.
