Virtual Makeover. You can play with colors and find a look you will love. Then it shows you how to apply your new look. Just click http://marykay.com/mgunther2What color lipstick did women wear in the 50's?
This is the direct links to the 50's look the last guy posted. He didn't even leave the website address as the source!
The lips were full with sharp peaks on the top lip. Apply foundation, then draw the top lip overdrawing the sharp peaks and the full bottom lip. Apply the lip color with the blunt tip. B茅same Red, Wild Orchid, Exotic Pink, Carmine, and Portrait Pink are all great 50s colors.

yes, red was the most popular back then, think Marilyn Monroe!
Bright Red.


Hope this helps! =)
With a strong red you're all OK - and usually there was nothing else than red...
Matte reds and pinks. For similar colors, I would try www.besamecosmetics.com


as they specialize in retro-type cosmetics.
super bright fire truck red
They wore bright red. Often a more 'orange' toned red due to the source of colour (cochineal) popular during the ration times of the war in the previous decade. Think of stars from the 50's - Marylin Monroe! Definately not plummy or 'blue' toned reds. Pillarbox is a favourite of mine! Oh - and never shiny. No gloss was around then, except perhaps vaseline, but no super high-glosses.
