Retro Bombshell: Brigitte Bardot


For those of you who do not know, Brigitte Bardot is a former French actress, singer and fashion model in the 1950's and 1960's. Her sexy bed head hair, and smudged eye liner had guys lined up at her doorstep. Do you blame them? She is a stunner. 


So today, I am going to let you in on the secrets achieved from Self Magazine as to how to achieve the "Brigitte Bardot look".
For Her Tousled Hair: 

Use a two inch barrel curling iron to create waves all around your head; holding each piece for fifteen to twenty seconds. Once the entire head is completed gently comb through your hair with your fingers to break apart the curls to give it more of a tousled, bed head look.


The "Smudged Makeup" Look with Sultry Lips:

For this look it is recommended that you use a jet-black gel eyeliner to achieve the best results. Now dab a liner brush into the gel eyeliner and apply a thick border all the way around the lash line, on both the top and bottom. It is probably best if you use a dark, smokey, eyeshadow for this look as well. Now that you have completed the eyeliner, it is time you apply the mascara very generously. Apply one coat to both the top and bottom lashes, and then apply another, and another, and another. You may even use false eyelashes if you want to complete the eye makeup. 
For Brigitte's look, her eyes are most definitely where all the attention goes, so that is the main part of the look. You do, however, still want those kissable and seductive lips. So as far as most of Brigitte's looks goes, I recommend using either a nude or baby pink color that is to your liking.
