Step 4: Hair and make-up
The last step is of course hair and makeup. Classic designs of big bonnets and bright red lips are effective and fun with any retro outfit. To create a more subtle look you might want to try a light lip gloss and teased hair with a patterned hairband.
Stay with neutral shadows on the lids, using a touch of shimmer where you like, to help wake up the eyes. Blush up your cheeks with a nice cream blush, applied sparingly to the apples of the cheeks. Lips are a matter of taste. A muted matte shade looks nice for day time, while still retaining a retro feel. Keep your hair curly by sleeping with roller sets. So when you wake up in the morning, just unroll, brush, spray into place, and go!
Whatever variation of the retro style you decide to go for, it should be colorful but simplistic in a workplace setting. Have fun with retro fashion and set yourself apart.
