Beauty Tips
Burlesque star, Missy Malone, shares her secrets for eyelash fluttering pinup looks.
Make up:
I tend to wash my face with cold water and use Vitamin E cream to mosturise.
I wear very little base make up, only conealer and Chanel loose powder. I pencil my eyebrows in every day (Missy trademark). I wear black liquid eyeliner by Rimmel, to create thick 50's eye flicks. I add a modern/rocker twist by wearing black eyeshadow (Mac) dusted under my bottom eyelashes. I am currently wearing YSL mascara that my mum bought me for christmas & it is wonderful. I never go out without my red lippy on I wear Rimmel "Diva Red" in the Day time and MAC "Russan Red" in the evening.
For shows the only change is I wear huge false Eyelashes, from my local joke shop or MAC. And I add a coat of red glitter to my lips for crazy shimmer on stage.
My nails and Toes are always painted Red.
Hair:
My wonderful hairdresser Neil Barton, maintains my signature "white streak" and raven black locks. Day to day I wear my hair down (my hair is naturally poker straight) with a quiff (about 4" tall). For evenings/events/shows I curl it all with ceramic curling tongs & create "Victory Rolls". I am also a huge fan of flowers (Lilys or Orchids) and wear them to finsh a hair style (match them with your outfit!).
Wardrobe:
I am a fan of 50's fashion and modern style, so I mix both to create my look. I wear what I like & don't care if it clashes. I love leopard print, capri pants, pencil skirts, Galaxy dresses, wiggle dresses, seamed stockings, bullet bras and cashmere jumpers. I live in heels I own over 100 pairs. I love kitsch plastic jewlery, flashy costume jewlery and real Diamonds equaly!
