Old style-hollywood glamour remains a popular fixture on the red carpet with stars from Scarlett Johannson to Christina Aguilera embracing fifties style in their super-glam look.

To find out how to get the look we've enlisted the help of MAC Senior make-up artist Neil Young to give us a few tips.

“Fiftiess Glamour is all about a strong defined brow arch, a flick of black eyeliner on the outer edges of the eye and corner lashes are perfect for enhancing the liner.

Follow with a perfect red lip, matt is a very modern take on the 50’s lip. Try MAC Lipstick Ruby Woo and a sweep of neutral pink blush such as MAC Powder Blush in Dame and you’re good to go.”
