Are you ready to channel your inner rockabilly diva? This makeup tutorial will take you step-by-step through the process of creating a classic rockabilly look. From bold red lips to dramatic winged eyeliner, you’ll be ready to rock ‘n’ roll in no time!
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Start by prepping your skin with a moisturizer and primer. This will help your makeup go on smoothly and last longer. Apply a pea-sized amount of moisturizer to your face and neck, and let it absorb for a few minutes. Then, apply a dime-sized amount of primer all over your face, focusing on areas where you have larger pores or fine lines.
Step 2: Create a Flawless Base
Next, apply a full-coverage foundation to even out your skin tone. Use a stippling brush or beauty blender to blend the foundation into your skin, making sure to blend it down your neck as well. Conceal any blemishes or dark circles with a creamy concealer, and set your foundation with a light dusting of translucent powder.
Step 3: Define Your Brows
Rockabilly makeup is all about bold, defined brows. Use a brow pencil or powder to fill in your brows, creating a defined arch and elongated tail. Brush through your brows with a spoolie brush to blend the product and create a natural look.
Step 4: Winged Eyeliner
Winged eyeliner is a must-have for any rockabilly look. Start by drawing a thin line along your upper lash line with a black liquid eyeliner. Then, using the outer corner of your eye as a guide, draw a small wing upwards and outwards towards the end of your eyebrow. Connect the wing to your upper lash line, and fill in any gaps to create a smooth, dramatic line.
Step 5: False Lashes
No rockabilly look is complete without false lashes. Choose a set of dramatic, full lashes and apply them as close to your natural lash line as possible. Use a pair of tweezers to press them into place, and let the glue dry for a few minutes before applying mascara.
Step 6: Bold Red Lips
A bold red lip is the perfect finishing touch for any rockabilly look. Use a red lip liner to outline your lips, and then fill them in with a matte red lipstick. Blot your lips with a tissue, and then apply a second coat for extra staying power.
Step 7: Rock ‘n’ Roll!
You’re ready to rock and roll with your new rockabilly makeup look! Pair it with a retro hairstyle, a polka dot dress, and some killer heels for the complete pin-up girl look.
Now go out there and show off your fierce new look!
