~ Shadow - Take a sheer lavender (for darker eyes) or light green (for other colored eyes) and place a small amount in the crease moving the brush in small half circle movements. Then take a pearlized white with flakes of purple (if you used purple) or green (if you used green), place that under the eye brown and onto the brow bone and blend well.
~Liner - Then use a cream or gel eye liner (with an eye liner brush) and line eye with eye open starting at the middle of the eye moving outward (making it thicker as you go) then thining out to a point at the outer corner of your eye. Use the left over to line as thin as possible in the inner corner.

Pan Am Makeup - "The Laura" - 60's City Girl

The Laura:

Laura is an inexperienced Pan Am trainee. In the first episode her hair and makeup are superb in the picture shown above she is getting ready to marry at the age of 23 years, then she runs out on her own wedding to be a Pan Am stewardess. Her makeup is interesting for the 60's, it has no wing but it looks classy and clean cut. So here is how to do "The Laura":

Day Time Look:

Face: 
She has very perfect skin so cover any dark circles or blemishes with any type of concealer you would like and then cover over with a full coverage, very *matte but not dry foundation (like: Lasting finnish - 25 hour foundation by Rimmel London). Prime the eyes with what ever makeup base you would like.

Take matte champaign shadow and cover the center of the eye lid and under the eye brow blend into the brow bone. Next Take a matte black gel or cream liner (like: Cream Liner by E.l.f.), hold eye closed by hold eye lashes gently down to the skin under the eye. With the liner, line the top lashes making the line thin in the inner corner ticker in the center and thin again in the outer corner, but don't wing out! Take the left over liner and line 3/4 of the way in form the outer corner of the bottom lashes. Curl lashes and add your choice of mascara.

Cheeks:
Use a cream to power blush in a brown based pale pink, place under cheek bones blend with bush very well. 

Lips:
Choose a icy pink color with a sheer matte finish (like: Rimmel London's renew moister lip stick in 300 rose blush)

Brows (optional): 
Choose a medium brown shade and shade in your brows using light strokes. Folow the picture above for shaping. 

For Night Time:

+ Ticken up the liner all the way around
+ Add a light brown to the crease of your lid

+ Add one more coat of mascara.

Hope you like it! Don't forget to add a "thought" at the bottom!

Pan Am Makeup - "The Kate" - 60's natural look


The Kate:
This is the Character "Kate" [Kelli Garner] from Pan Am

At first my favorite character was "Maggie" [Christina Ricci] but then i got to know the characters a little more and Kate, as shown above is more like me in many ways; body type (minus the hight) and personality. Plus her makeup looks classy, natural and still attractive. So here is the how to for what I am going to call "The Kate":
Day Time Look:
Face: 
Start by covering you face with moisturizer, then use a light, matte foundation (like: Fit Me! by Maybelline) if needed. Next cover dark circles under eyes and any other blemishes. Add a small amount of foundation on eye lids to clear skin of veins.

Eyes:
Take a matte gel or cream liner (like: Cream Liner by eyes lips face (e.l.f.)) in black or very dark brown. Hold eye closed by gently placing  a finger on eye lashed, next line the lash line making the line thin at the inner corner and (a tiny bit) thicker towards the outer corner following the lashes. Open eye and curl eye lashes carefully not to mess up the line. Look straight forward into the mirror, place applicator (or brush) at the end of the line you have already made and follow the outer most lashes to make the perfect most natural cat eye. [if you have no idea what i am talking about watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrd2TwlANXA] No shadow for the day time. And finally add mascara. 

Cheeks:
Take a nude pink-ish lip stick and lightly dot it on the cheek bones from the apples to (under) the temples. Bend very well for a matte but dewy look. 

Lips:
Use the same color that you used on the cheeks on your lips or use a clear but matte lip balm.
Night Time Look:
Working off the look above;
~Add shimmery champlain colored eye shadow to the lid and a nude-ish brown to the crease
~Add Fruit punch/ cherry red gloss to lips 
~ Open up eyes by curling once more before going out the door (if you curl lashes with mascara on the curl lasts longer)

Hope this is helpful! I will try to do one for each character (one down three to go)

xoxo,
