    Okay, so while it's easy to google, I'm looking for some advice for a 50's do I'm going to. NOT doing the full skirt/Grease look and wear pencil skirts/Cardis and red lippy quite a bit, so would love suggestions on how to improve that look...

    Also make up help :)

    I am a little confused tho and excuse my ignorance but google ha challenged my thinking; did these two different fashions exist together, or was one before the other...

    Like Grace Kelly elegance?

    Make-up wise they wore red lipstick, but also an almost orangey red lipstick. Eyebrow shape was more rounded than 40's square shape.

    Yeah I remember in the final scene in Grease some one runs around in denim shorts and a tied up gingham shirt! You could add red lippie and cats' eyes sunglasses.
