Makeup in the style of the 60s

Fashion is fickle, but some trends are slowly making a comeback - or instantly becoming classics.. Today, trendy makeup in the style of the 60s is also a classic. You will learn about all the features of this make-up and its implementation from this article.

First, let's talk about a few details that make retro makeup so special and unusual. Firstly, in this style, the emphasis is usually placed on one zone. It can be eyes or lips. Most often, it was the eyes that made expressive and bright. Long thick eyelashes, eyeliner and shadows are what distinguishes makeup in the style of the 60s.

Girls and women made such a noticeable accent because many people associated big eyes with youth and attractiveness. So that the makeup would not be too vulgar, the lips were painted over with light lipstick or gloss. However, many argue that the girls at that time did not use lipsticks, because they were of terrible quality and resembled sticky plasticine in their consistency.

If you want to make a beautiful retro make-up, then you need to familiarize yourself with all its stages.

If you are going to place accents, you need to even out the skin tone, making it perfect. Remember that makeup in this style should look as natural as possible.To do this, first of all, you need to choose a foundation that matches your skin tone. Then you need to correct the imperfections with a light concealer. So there will be no mask effect, but at the same time you will look very well-groomed.

Girls in the 60s often used blush to make their appearance more “healthy”. The contrast of pale skin with a slight blush gave the girls a special charm. If you want to repeat this effect, then blush should be chosen with a slight pink undertone. A tool with a brown or red tint will only spoil everything.

The most crucial stage of makeup in this style is staining the eyes. In the 60s, girls did not pay much attention to eyebrow shaping. Therefore, they should not be too dark and clear for you.

Better pay more attention to the makeup of the eyes themselves. First, apply a combination of gray and brown shadows on your eyelids. Darker and lighter shades need to be combined with each other, carefully blending the transitions. Eyeliner is also often used in such makeup. For a 60s look, you can opt for both black and brown eyeliner. It all depends on the characteristics of your appearance.

If you are fair by nature, then light light brown lines blended along the lash line are more suitable for you. But most often it was charcoal-black pencils that were used to tint the outer corner of the eye.

On top of their natural eyelashes, girls also often glued false ones. After all, it was thick and lush eyelashes that made the look so innocent and charming.If you don't want to mess around with false hairs, then just applying a few coats of mascara to your lashes will be enough. In this way, both the upper and lower eyelashes are stained.

So that the lips do not get lost against the background of sexy beautiful eyes, but at the same time look good, they also need to be tinted. Makeup artists who did makeup in the style of the 60s have a little secret - before applying gloss or lipstick, they covered their lips with a light layer of concealer. It should be very small.

This trick is great for making lips look paler. After applying such a base to the lips, they can be covered with peach or light pink lipstick. Alternatively, you can use a nude (almost invisible) gloss. To make the lip contour more defined, use a matching lip pencil. If desired, you can highlight the hole above the lip - a few touches of the highlighter.

A bright accent on the eyes and a neutral lipstick are suitable for corporate parties and parties. Try such a bright make-up - perhaps you will rediscover yourself in the image of a retro diva. This image looks very interesting and unusual, many admiring glances will be attracted to you.
