60’s Makeup
About 60’s Makeup
I think one of the most famous persons of the 1960s was Twiggy. Her look was unmistakable and fresh at the same time. With almost a tomboyish look, her appearance onto the European model scene took the world by storm so much so that her name and face are still recognisable today.
This is a simple guide to recreating the mod look that was so in at that time.
60´s Face Makeup
The face was very clean and clear. Freckles were embraced, not hidden. Instead of using a heavier liquid foundation, you can either sheer it out by mixing it with moisturiser or using a tinted moisturiser. This would give your face some colour and even out the skin tone without covering the soft texture of the skin.
If you have no freckles and want to add some, use an eyeliner brush and a foundation that is two shades darker than your skin. Just dot little spots lightly to the inner cheeks and bridge of the nose to mimic actual freckles.
Set the makeup with a little translucent powder.
Use a light dusting of a matte peach blush along the cheekbones if you are fair. If you have darker skin, orange would work better.
60´s Eyes Makeup
Use a beige or vanilla eyeshadow all over the eyelids to brighten and open the eyes.
Apply black liquid eyeliner along the upper lash line. At the inner corners, extend the line downwards just a little bit to make the eyes look bigger.
Use three or more coats of mascara on the top and bottom lashes so that they have a flared spiky appearance. If this is not possible with your natural eyelashes, use strip false lashes like Ardell’s 104 or 116 lashes. Blend into your own eyelashes with mascara.
Line the inner lower lash line with a vanilla pencil. Remember, we want to achieve a wide eyed innocent look, at the core of which is big, bright eyes.
The eyebrows should be groomed as well, following their natural pattern and accentuating the arches. Fix with a brow gel or clear mascara.
60´s Lips Makeup
Skip the lip liner in this instance. Moisturise the lips with a creamy balm.
Apply a light pink gloss to the centre of the top and bottom lips, avoiding the boundaries of the mouth. The effect would be very fresh and natural.
Now you’re ready to join in with your new old mod look.
