Refer to the film Grease, that is exactly how the styles were, make-up, hair and wardrobe. Have fun!

Makeup of the 1950's had a look all of its own, and it seems to pop up again and again.
Here's How:
1. Obviously a lot of emphasis was devoted to the eyes. Here are a few ideas that you can play with.
2. Eye Shadows: These were quite muted in most cases. Popular colors included grays and browns but for evenings, you could spot sapphires, golds, greens and blues.
3. Eye Shadows for Evening: As I mentioned above, at night, the rich colors came out. It was quite common to apply a rich blue with a silver layer of shadow on top.
4. Eye Liner: This was black of course with what was known as a wing at the outer corner of the eye.
5. Brows: Very heavily shades and the brows during this time period were much thicker than the brows we are seeing today.
6. Mascara: Popular colors during the 50's included black, brown and blue.
Tips:
The brows were darkened using brown and black pencils and from the look of the brows during this decade, they went through a lot of them.
Shadows were formulated in creme and cake textures.

Women in the 1950's wore their make-up in a very different style than shown in grease the movie. People in the 50's were much mor conserved, and didn't want to add too much pazazz. Go with light pinks and light blues. Wear them much like you would wear todays make-up. very light eyeliner, and mascarra. Anything as lone as it looks preserved.
