ModCloth.com How To Do 1950s Retro Make-Up Like Audrey Hepburn (Celebrity Style) Make-up artist Jo Reid shows you how to do the iconic retro look as made famous by Audrey Hepburn, Scarlett Johansson and Gwen Stefani. Eyebrows should be thick, lift slightly at the arch and taper towards the end. Prime the eyelids with primer, foundation and translucent powder. Apply a matte, sable eyeshadow to the eyelid from the base of lashes up into the socket. Apply the same colour underneath as an eyeliner to make your eyes look larger. Use a gel eyeliner along the top lashes, taking the line up and out, and increase the pressure as you move to the outer edge of the eye to get a thicker line. Use a thickening mascara on the top lashes, wiggling the wand from side to side to coat each lash. Apply under eye concealer and blend down and out. Create a matte complexion with translucent powder. Contour the cheekbones with a matt contouring powder, and apply it with an angled brush, starting at the highest point of the dip in the cheek.
