Rock this retro 1950s makeup look in a few easy steps

When it comes to makeup looks, it can sometimes feel as though you're constantly looking to the future. The latest launch, the newest trend or the most exciting innovation can pull focus, leaving you overwhelmed with the world of beauty.
But lots of stunning makeup inspiration can be found by looking backward. Far from old-fashioned, inspiration from bygone days can feel surprisingly fresh and fun. And this 1950s-inspired teal and coral makeup look is just that. The pastel tones and glowy base make for a super cute (and strangely modern-feeling) vibe.
