So confidence is pretty much all that's required. Ok, cute makeup and hair, too. Don't believe it?
The Makeup
If you're makeup-shy, "go to the makeup counter at a department store and let them have their way with you," quips one of the Provocatease girls. Otherwise, try these tips.
Cake it on: Start with your regular foundation, and add a little dusting of translucent powder to set.
Curb the Chewbacca brows: "Shape them well," says Susana. "The eyebrow starts in line with your nose, where it peaks is diagonally in line with your iris, and where it ends is where the line is drawn from your nose to the outside of your eye." She also recommends Tweezer Man tweezers, and says they have a lifetime warranty.
White Power: For the eyes, use a shimmery white shadow under the brow, on the lid and in the inside corner of the eye. Line with black liner, curl your lashes with one of those lash-curling torture devices and use black mascara, or be lazy and just go with false lashes (we vote lazy).
Blushing Beauty: A little dab of cream blush on the apples of the cheeks will do you. (Whew! If this seems like a lot of steps, just remember when you're done with all this, guys will be lining up to do you!)
Red lipstick is haute, haute, haute: But make sure yours doesn't look like some kid went crazy with a red crayon. "I love my red lipstick," Susana tells New Times, "but I've tried on some of the other girls and it doesn't look good." Pick a shade which works on YOU. If you have dark hair and cool-toned skin, try a blueish red. If you have warm-toned skin, pick a red with orange undertones.
Easy Pinup Girl Hair
-
Part your hair and start with a small section of hair at the front of your hairline above the ear. Spray the section with firm hold hairspray.
- Take a hot ceramic curling iron and pull it from the roots to the ends of that section. (1-inch works best according to Susana, or smaller if you have short hair) Then roll the section up in a curl and hold it there for 30 seconds. Slowly unroll, and put the iron aside.
- Using your fingers, roll the curl back up like a Slinky and pin it with a bobby pin to your head. Repeat the procedure with the rest of your hair until you have a group of large curls pinned to your head.
-
Let set for at least another 30 minutes and remove the bobby pins. Tousle hair and spray as necessary. There you have a perfect head of springy bombshell curls!!
Put on a killer outfit and your best "I'm really all that!" attitude and you're ready to do this:
But maybe just in the privacy of your own bedroom.
