Always match your skin tone
When it comes to makeup in the 50s, most people think of luscious red lips or the iconic cat-eye-shaped eyeliner. However, skin products like blush, powder, and foundation also played a huge part in the iconic looks of that time.
When it comes to foundation, women would try to match the color of their natural skin tone as closely as possible. Unlike other times in makeup history, they did not try to appear tanned or pale. Shades at that time also had a slight peach undertone.
