Fashion Inspiration: Smokin' Sirens

I found these photos on the incredible Retronaut Blog (be careful with that place, you can loose a lot of time going back in time. I have keep going back to look at these photos. The make up is incredible. Somehow they pull off eyebrows and makeup that is so extreme without looking like on of the ladies in 'Brazil' (film) or as though they are perpetually startled or angry. 
They just look smokin', fierce, and Over The Top in the best of ways. I am curious to play around with this look. I may share as long as I don't look like a startled Meerkat.
