Makeup was simple and stunning in the 1950's. Creams foundations and shadows were very popular among women in this time. They would be able to cover signs of aging, spots, and pimples on there face, they called this the "mask effect". A thick creamy application of foundation and flesh colored powders to set. Eyebrows still a natural look but more tapered and feminine. But what takes the cake for all the makeup products has to be the bright red lipstick almost every lady would wear. Red was the color of the 50's and women showed there love for it on there lips. A pop of color on a neutral face. Red lipstick was the most sold and most popular makeup product in the 1950's along with different shades of pinks.

The greaser hairstyle involves a lot of hair products to give your hair wet slick look.
