What was hair, makeup and clothing like in the 50's?

On friday at my school we're having fifties day and having a sock hop but the problem is i dont know what to wear!!!! What would a middle schooler wear in the fifties?What was hair, makeup and clothing like in the 50's?
Stly in the fifties emphasized curves. A- line dresses and skirts, high waisted pants. They wore red lipstick and black eyeliner. Hair was soft waves or loose curls. Shoes were mostly pumps. Hats were all the rage, especially pill box hats.What was hair, makeup and clothing like in the 50's?
Exactly the same as what is on Happy Days. Or 'American Graffiti.
Have you ever watched Happy Days? Big poodle skirts, sometimes with poodles stiched on with tight soft sweaters or short sleeve blouses to match. For a more formal affair, the big long poofy sleeveless dresses were in. For females, it was as though all the skirts had to have a lot of poof or an under skirt.





For men, the styles were not so defined other than they were conservative. one staple for a younger man and a girl that was going steady - the letterman jacket or the letterman sweater. If it looked like Mr. Rogers would wear it, chances are it was a style that derived from the 50's.





Almost forgot - conservative red lipstick was sometimes a staple. I might suggest that you might want to watch a classic Marilyn Monroe movie for inspiration of some different looks. Good luck!

How should i wear my hair/makeup for winter formal?

My hair is brown with carmel highlights. Its a lil bit past my shoulders with layers in it. I also have side bangs. As for my makeup needs, i have kinda a lil tan with brown eyes





Any ideas?


let me know =)How should i wear my hair/makeup for winter formal?
For your hair, you should keep your sideswept bangs and drape them over one eye, straighten the rest of your hair, and tease it at the crown.


This is how you tease:

don't worry that first picture isn't what the end result will look like!!





your end result should look something like this:

except your hair is darker, that would look not too overdone but absolutely stunning!!





As far as makeup, you have beautiful skin tone it seems as if, use a mineral liquid makeup, try maybelline mineral power natural perfecting liquid foundationin a medium shade maybe a pure beige, then use a liquid bronzer on your cheeks to give you a dewey movie star look, try maybelline dream mousse bronzer on the apples of your cheeks. For your eyeshadow, use a white gold on your lids, a brown on your outter corner, a whiteish color on your brow bone (not pure white, opt for a champagne or use that same white gold color), and a lighter brown on your crease, and finally use a champagne color eye shadow on the inner corner of your eyes, to make the shape of your eyes really pop. Use a dark brown eyeliner to rim your bottom eyes, then finally Curl your eyelashes, then apply two coats of black mascara on top and bottom lashes. (try maybelline lash stylist in very black, it gives your eyelashes mega volume!!!) Finish with a light pink lip gloss, very light almost nude.How should i wear my hair/makeup for winter formal?
i would say have your hair in a glam roll but leave a few wisks out to relax it a bit, and the color of make up depends really on what your wearing, but in winter smokey eyes is always a winner, but if you go with this always remember to go easy on the lip colour, something natural.
try a french twist with a jeweled hair piece like this

this is what it would look like from the front

and for your makeup do soft pink lip and your eyes depend on your dress color but you could do silver and blue, pink or soft purple


use black mascara and eye liner
Bronze or Gold :D

it depends on what kinda dress u r wearing....

How to do your makeup and hair nice?

i always do the same. on strip of black eyeliner, but thats all i can really wear because i look really ugly without black eyeliner on and my eyes look plain.. and my hair always looks a mess HELP!How to do your makeup and hair nice?
Okay, here are two ways I do my makeup. (I have fair/beige skin, brown hair and brown eyes.)





EVERYDAY


1.Gray eyeliner (black can be too harsh) on the bottom and top of your eyes.


2. Very subtle blush on your cheekbones.


3. Waterproof black mascara on your top and bottom eyelashes.


4 Clear gloss.


5. Light gray eyeshadow.





PARTIES


1. Brown eyeliner (top and bottom)


2. Gold eyeshadow on eyelid and under eye.


3. Gold lip gloss with sparkle (I love Juicy Pineapple at Bath and Body Works).


4. Light pink blush with a little sparkle.





I know how you feel about your hair. If your hair is frizzy and curly like mine, leave in your conditioner for everyday (Garnier Strength and Repair works great), but if you're going somewhere, straighten it. Be sure to put a lot of protecting cream on your hair before you straighten it though, because I used to straighten my hair all the time and now it's short in some places and I have a lot of split ends.





I hope it helped!How to do your makeup and hair nice?
I know exactly were your coming from.


In the morning before school i don't have time to put on a lot of makeup so i've sort of developed my own routine.


I put on a strip of black liquid on my top lid, use two colour eyeshadow(usually reds and blacks) and blend and then use pencil on my bottom lid and waterline.


then i put on my concealer, foundation and blush.


If everything goes according to plan then it should only take 15Min's and its It usually looks good.





As for your hair..


I have very frizzy curly hair so i straighten it and put in some extensions, that's the only advice i can give you lol.


BUT if you have nice curls dont straighten it,


I hate good curls going to waste, hehe (:



foundation because my face gets random pimples that i obviously wanna cover up.


bronzer because im prett pale. i use Victoria's Secret very sexy bronzer its my fave the only one i use :]]


eye liner but not that much cuz it makes me look emo lol.


i always have it on my top lid and some on my bottom lid but i usually wear it more thicker on the outer corner of my eye then less in the inner corner.


then i always wear a natural eyeshadow. i like brownss and silver/blacks/greys.


smoky eyesss=love :D


and at the end i always put on a lot of coats of mascara because i love that dramatic fake eyelashe look and it makes my eyes look bigger.


then for my hair, i usually have it straight. when i get out of the shower, i put on this got2b sleek and shine spray


which looks like this http://di1.shopping.com/images/pi/84/c9/…


then i take my blow drier and blow dry my hair pointing the drier DOWN so it kinda makes my hair find its place.


then when it is dry i straighten it. when i am finished i will either spray this all over my hair http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/44708/…


lol yea for kids i know but it smells so good and it makes my hair really smooth so who cares :]


or if i want volume, i tease it.


i got kinda bored of just teasing it so now sometimes i do this


i loveeee this looook!

Do finger and toe nails in bright red, its the most conspicuous. Make-up should be red lip-stick and shimmery eye shadow. Hair should be swept back with a pink head band, or girly barrettes (like the plastic bows that little girls wear). Have fun with it!What should I do with my bf hair, makeup, nails?

Makeup-Trampy make up like blue eyeshadow (really intense) really thick eyeliner.Lipgloss.
