Hello my little lovelies! I wanted to share with you some of the beautiful, vintage inspired makeup looks that are being seen everywhere from the runway to the office!

This winter there are two dominant makeup trends to look forward to. The modern take on the cat eye and doll lashes, both very feminine looks with a lot of retro and vintage inspiration.  These two trends are very wearable, seeing as you can do several variations of them depending on your mood. The cat eye has always been a staple in the makeup world getting its roots from the 1950′s. To get this look I like to use an angled brush for a more precise application and better blending.  Start by drawing  a thin line with your eyeliner pencil from your inner corner of the eye and gradually increasing the thickness of the eyeliner as you move towards the outer corner of the eye. As you approach the outer corner of the eye move slightly in an upward direction to create the wing or the cat eye effect. I then like to go back with an angled liner brush and soften the line and accentuate the winged out effect on the outer corner. Make sure you apply at least two coats of mascara and then if you’d like to amp it up a notch try a bold shade of red on the lips. Different variations of this look include using a soft caramel gold color instead of the typical black liner, making double lines on the lid for a more avante garde look or squaring off the ends of the liner instead of a sharp wing.

Doll lashes are one of my favorite looks! You can achieve this by using half strip lashes or simply two good coats of lenghtening mascara and then curling the lashes. Keep the eyeshadow simple and soft and your cheeks and lips sublte with a nice sheer wash of pink or peach color!

Here’s an example of the trend from Becky’s recent Shoot!
