try that site for some cute vintage hair styles. as for makeup, keep it simple. keep your skin matte, find a red lipstick that works great with your skin tone, line your upper eyelids with a thin line of black liquid liner and make it flare out on the sides to create a cat eye look. top it with mascara to make your eyes pop. add a little bit of blush to your cheeks and youre good to go. have fun!

Watch a few Audrey Hepburn movies to get a feel for it. Big eyes are key. Use a highlighting shade under your brow and by your tear ducts to open up the eye. Pick a shade that makes your eye color pop - there are a lot of guides as to what those shades are like Avon, etc. Make sure you use a dramatic eye-liner to finish and NEVER go without mascara! If you have short lashes, take a fake lash, cut it in half, and glue it to the outside half of your lashes - definately 50's...

I had the same problem! Unfortunately, finding vintage clothing or even vintage style (which I am in LOVE with) is extremely hard and kinda spendy. If you can sew, Vogue has a new line of vintage 40's/50's patterns, otherwise I really liked this site, but its kinda spendy: http://www.stopstaringclothing.com/
Good luck!

Shoulder pads. Pompadour hairstyle. Mid-length skirts and dresses. (tighter for 40's style because of wartime rationing) Clunky shoes, even the thin strappy kind. Fur wraps & stoles were popular, especially for evening wear. Bright, full, red lips are a must.
Have fun, good luck.
