Tips & Tricks with Miss Dixiebelle!

The wonderful ladies at Miss Dixiebelle are popping up next weekend at our Glasgow and Edinburgh events! They’ll be offering discounted vintage beauty treatments from as little as £5 – the perfect excuse to try a new look for the New Year.

We picked the brains of super stylish Casci Ritchie for some everyday hints and tips for that perfect vintage look.

If you don’t have matte lipstick to hand and are after a matte forties red lip then you can fake it! Line your lips then apply with your chosen colour. Lightly press a thin tissue over your lips and press gently translucent powder into your lips for that perfect pout!

When wearing a bold lip colour always line your lips and apply a thin line of concealer around the lip line to prevent bleeding and to enhance a clean silhouette. Blend into foundation for a seamless look!

Got some few day old curls? Section your front hair off from the crown and clip away. Brush and secure your hair into a high 1950s ponytail. Backcomb the front section and smooth into a large pin curl – looping the hair around your finger and clipping it into place when you are happy. Pratice makes perfect and this is a classic youthful fifties look that’s great for a night dancing! Add some pomade for shine – we love Black and Whites. Finish with a nylon scarft tied in a bow or a colourful hair flower! The bigger the better!
