Makeup Of The 60's
08:37The Swinging Sixties were filled with groovy trends from fantastic bands and awesome clothes.
the makeup was a big part of the sixties from Audrey Hepburn, Twiggy, Jane Birkin, Francoise Hardy, and Bridgett Bardot were big parts of the sixties scenes.
Eyes – eyeliner was the most important makeup tool. Instead of cats eye effect, the liner was doubled up at the end of the lid.White eyeliner is drawn down over the upper lid to the inner corner of the eye.
Eyeshadow – the popular palette was blue, gray and white.
Eyelashes – placed on both top and bottom for a real retro ‘flapper’ effect.huge pairs of doll-like false lashes followed. Twiggy took this step even further by using liquid liner to draw in individual lower lashes for a surreal effect. This intense look was completed with a lashing of mascara.
Powder – Lots of powder in the early 1960s to just a dab of translucent by the end of the decade.Foundation was also applied to lips to lend a very neutral look, which drew attention back to the dramatic eyes. Blush was lightly applied to cheeks, and lipstick shades were pale in comparison to the 1950s Blusher was applied in the shape of a narrow triangle beneath the cheekbones and in the hollows of the cheeks.
Lips – very pale pinks and reds outlined with a pencil daring Mods could sometimes be seen sporting white lipstick.
Eyebrows -- groomed, shaped and defined with a brow pencil. The thickness of the brow and amount of pencil used ranged from a tweezed lighter touch (e.g. Twiggy) to a heavier penciled look (e.g. Elizabeth Taylor).
Hope this helps you create the most beautiful makeup from the sixties till next time
