The classic style of the pin-up originates back from the 1940s. Due to the shortages of materials during World War II, the period of makeup is considered the "natural beauty" look.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Classic Beauty: The History of Makeup|last=Hernandez|first=Gabriela|publisher=Schiffer Publishing LTD|year=2017|isbn=978-0764353000|location=United States}}</ref> The U.S. was immersed in [[war-time economy]], which put distribution restrictions on consumer goods.<ref>Tassava, Christopher.

Pin-up style makeup products consisted of:

* Foundation: A cream base, liquid foundation that matched their natural skin tone
* Compact powders: used to set the foundation and even the overall complexion
* Eyes and brows: neutral contour on brow bone and lid. Eyebrows were shaped but kept full
* Eyeliner: the wing effect became popular by the 1950s
* Lashes: extended the barriers of the eye to appear slightly larger
* Blush: pastel and rose colors applied to the apple of the cheek
* Lips: vibrant red and matte color, applied to look plumper.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Fashions in Makeup: From Ancient to Modern Times|last=Corson|first=Richard|publisher=Peter Owens Publisher|year=2005|isbn=0720611954|location=London, United Kingdom}}</ref>

In the 1950s, the overall look consisted of the red lip and was often paired with rosy cheeks. Eyeliner became bold and began to be more commonly used to make the eye appear larger. Natural eyebrows were embraced, as opposed to the thin brows of the 1920s and '30s. In the 1940s, brows were shaped and clean but filled in with a pencil to appear fuller.<ref>"Historical Facts Behind Pin Up Makeup."

The shape of the lip was also iconic of the 1940s. The lips were painted on to look plumper; a broad outline of the lip was added for roundness.

[[Victory rolls]] are also a distinctive hairstyle of the pin-up. The Victory roll is curled inward and swept off the face and pinned into place on the top of the head. Soft curls, achieved through the pin curl technique, finish the look of pin-up.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.babble.com/beauty/victory-rolls-pin-up-tutorial/|title=Victory Rolls: A Pin-Up Hair Tutorial {{!}} Babble|date=2013-10-10|work=Babble|access-date=2018-05-08|language=en-US}}</ref>
