Dare to Be - 40's/50's Bombshell Babes! August 8th - August 21st

[Naturally]

Since I grew up with parents from this era (you know ..those PINUP doll pix that our servicemen kept) ...anyhow ..I thought this would be a great DARE!

Let's have it gals....should be an easy one!

 

[Laura]

Oh cool! I'll go find pics to post so people can get an idea!

 

[eightthirty]

How about these? Gwen Stefani in the likes of Jean Harlow (starring in the movie The Aviator). It's hard to find colour pictures of the 40's - 50''s Bombshells.

(updated decades-8/7)

 

[eightthirty]

Here's some inspiration...from Madonna's

Vogue! I'll try to look for pics!!

Greta Garbo, and Monroe

Deitrich and DiMaggio

Marlon Brando, Jimmy Dean

On the cover of a magazine



Grace Kelly; Harlow, Jean

Picture of a beauty queen

Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire

Ginger Rogers, dance on air

They had style, they had grace

Rita Hayworth gave good face

Lauren, Katherine, Lana too

Bette Davis, we love you

Ladies with an attitude

Fellows that were in the mood

Don't just stand there, let's get to it

Strike a pose, there's nothing to it

 

[Stephanie]

i want to enter this challenge. do i have to show the picture im trying to copy? or just go for the look?

Here are some more, but it the makeup itself seems alone the same lines! It's the hair that's the distinguishing characteristic of the decades. Red lips seem to be the key. Can we also use modern bombshell type icons?

TY for changing dates x

oh ok.is it going to change or?

 

[NYAngel98]

I dunno - I actually think it's a little easier with the decades given.... so we all have similar looks to judge on... ya know? It's kinda hard to judge something 50's glam, then 80's punk in the same dare, no?? I'm up for whatever though... just let me know, and away I go

 

[Stephanie]

im still trying to figure out how to post images...

 

[gamaki]

Here's some pinup pics I found for inspiration. Have fun!

Pink Ribbons, this challenge will look so cute on you because of your dark hair and fair skin.

I have some old pics (couple of months old) from a similar thing I did on a private board I belong to.

I can't find my bigger verison of the smaller pic I posted here.

The full color, large one is not photoshopped.

Very nice job, simplykrazy07 and DawnE!!

What products did you guys use??

I found a pic of Kate Beckinsale from the movie "Pearl Harbor" (takes place in 40's) and a list of products the makeup artist used. I thought this might be interesting..

Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbor

Make-up by Julie Hewett

Skin Care - Amanda Lacey Skin Care

Foundation - Gerda Spillmann Bio-Fond Cream in Limelight and Top Chic

Concealer - Yves Saint Laurent Touche Eclat

Powder - Il Makiage Professional Powder in Neutre Clair #1

Cheeks - Stila Cheek Color in Fade

Eye Shadow - Christian Dior Palette #030

Eye Liner - M.A.C Crème Liner in Black

Lash - Lancôme Aquacils Mascara in Black. Individual lashes were applied to complete the look.

[DawnE]

Let's see...

If I recall correctly,

Loreal True Match base,

Maybelline Everfresh concealer under the eyes,

Loreal Lash Architect mascara,

Revlon blush in Wine with Everything,

Loreal Glam Shine Gloss in Whirl

Prestige Shadow Duo in Stormy.

So, it's a drugstore face, I almost always buy drugstore products.

Lily, Kate is so beautiful! I have never worn brick red lipstick. Maybe I should give it a try. It looks great on simplekrazy, too.
