Series Summary

Let’s face it. Without judgment or degradation, we can admit that most teenage girls today where more makeup than the escorts of a century ago. But this doesn’t have to be bad. Painting the face has been a religious and cultural tradition for thousands of years, and many people forget that makeup and sexual attractiveness are not always related. Wearing makeup for aesthetic reasons probably began with men, just like dresses, perfume, leggings, and jewelry. In different cultures different customs become popular. Think: it wasn’t so long ago that a male who manicured his eyebrows was creepy. We now have eyeliner-wearing guys all over the media and metropolitan areas of America. French men and women of the 16th and 17th centuries wore more makeup than stage actors do today, so let’s give our teenage face-painters some slack.

Nostalgia for the 1950s comes in all forms, one being a renewed interest in the look of famous pinup girls, like Marilyn Monroe and others. In this free video series, professional makeup artist Jenny Karl teaches you how to recreate the perfect pinup girl look. These videos cover applying foundation, blush, eyeshadow, and lip color. Jenny will also show you how to apply fake eyelashes and a beauty mark reminiscent of both Marilyn and Madonna. With tips on skin care, removing makeup, and touching up, this series will be useful for many!
