Like many chic chicks I know, I've become obsessed with the AMC drama Mad Men, which if you weren't aware, is about an ad agency set in 1960-62. Not only are the sets and costuming amazing (check this post about the decor by my friend Ashley) but the MAKEUP is killer.I set out to find out what products the makeup artist uses to create the red or rose lipped looks that make the actresses fair complexions glow. Thanks to BellaSugar and Access Hollywood, this is what I've found:
Lip liner: MAC shades Brick and Cherry
Lipsticks: Laura Mercier in Baby Lips and Mistress
Brows: MAC Fling and Lingering
Whatever you choose, veer away from blue-based reds and pinks, and keep it matte. Word is no one used frosty or blue-based shades at that time (which is why the red lips on Joan and Betty look almost natural.)
As far as the rest, Matte face powder and a black liquid liner are obvious necessities. In this case you could pretty much use any brand to score that part of the look. Makeup artist Debbie Zoller says she uses a cream blush called Cheekies by Julie Hewett dabbed on the apples of the cheeks, or a tiny dab of the lipstick the actress has on at the time.
