We’re all about embracing nostalgia, and the 1960s hold a special place in our hearts. This era’s lavish fashion and bold beauty continue to inspire us today. As we seek fresh ways to dazzle, why not draw from the past? Icons like Twiggy and her iconic eye makeup are leading the way for modern beauty trends. With a captivating smokey eye and defined cheekbones, let’s delve into the step-by-step guide to mastering this growingly popular 60s-inspired makeup trend.
As usual, start by applying your favorite high-coverage foundation and concealer combo. For a more accurate representation of 60s inspired makeup, opt for a matte finish by setting your under eyes and T-zone with a powder. Next, sculpt your face with bronzer, emphasizing your cheekbones and blending well. Add a touch of pink-toned blush to the apples of your cheeks for a pop of color.
Now, onto the focal point of any 60s-inspired makeup: the eyes. Begin by sweeping a gray eyeshadow across your lids and into the crease. Extend the shadow outward in a wing shape. Next, use a black kohl eyeliner pencil to line your upper lid into a winged cat eye. For the lower lash line, apply a white eyeliner to the waterline to create the illusion of larger eyes. Then, switch to black eyeliner and line the lower lash line, connecting it to the upper winged liner for a complete eye encircling effect. Curl your lashes, apply a pair of dramatic false lashes, and add a coat of mascara to the lower lashes for a wide-eyed look.
This 60s inspired makeup is a fun twist to a classic smokey eye that is sure to make you stand out from the crowd.
