Zack Snyder is always notorious for creating movies with vast aesthetic appeal. From the detailed and glamorous costumes to the sultry makeup and hairstyles, the characters exude a balance between strength and sex appeal. I think this playful duality can be applied to every day style and not just in the glamorous world of Hollywood starlets.

Babydoll’s makeup is very much inspired by the 1960′s. So, think of the defined crease, thick false lashes and cat liner as another way to add a vintage twist to your every day style. In my interpretation of the look, I decided to darken the crease because I think it makes for a more dramatic statement. If you prefer a more delicate look, opt for a softer purple in the crease and keep the definition to a minimum. What I love about the makeup is not only the vintage inspiration behind it, but how it effortlessly mixes the old with the new. The glowing skin, perfect pout and doe like eyes can compliment any skin tone or any age. It transcends the seasons beautifully and can be worn day or night.

I happened to stumble upon one of the makeup artists responsible for the beautiful looks seen in Sucker Punch. In her blog she gives a run down of all of the products used, as well as some pictures of early makeup tests. I found it really fascinating to see the progression of the look and the various directions it could have evolved to. Check out her official post on the movie here.
