Get the Perfect Base
If you are looking to emulate an iconic look, start with the perfect base. If your look is from the ’90s, achieve a supermodel matte finish using your preferred foundation and dust a generous amount of translucent powder over it. Alternatively, if you want to recreate a sparkly look from the ’70s, apply a light and hydrating moisturizer and lots of spotlight-grabbing highlighter in the hollows of your cheeks and along your collarbone.
Add Color
Now it’s time to start adding color to your look. If you find yourself dreaming of a classic Marilyn Monroe look, use a soft pink or peach blush to add a natural flush to the apples of your cheeks and a hint of shimmer to the highest points of the face. For a vintage ’60s vibe, opt for dramatic feline eyes and classic red lipstick.
Create Texture
