Makeup "Dandies"

People of the older generation, whose youth took place in the 50-60s of the last century, remember very well those times when brightly made-up youth, and even non-standard dressed, were called dudes and were subjected to persecution, abuse and edification in every possible way. Such dudes could easily be taken to the police just because they do not look like most citizens. And then, as, in principle, today, there were simply young people who wanted to be somehow different from the dull gray crowd.

The unique image of the "dude" for the girl was in the brightness and some notes of the challenge. It could have been just a tight-fitting dress that accentuated the waistline. Traditionally, at that time, everyone dressed and made up almost the same, so it was a problem to understand from afar who was in front of you - an adult lady or a young creature. Whether it's the case today - you match any style that you like, to help - modern technology, the availability of any materials, scientific achievements and the free availability of all necessary drugs and information about their use.

And for the image of a dude, nothing special is needed, and you can make it without any problems ... but this is today, with today's opportunities, but the distant 60s are something completely opposite.Practically no ready-made cosmetics for sale, no fashionable accessories - fashionistas did everything on their own from what was at hand. There was no question of any diversity, and at the same time they managed to do bright makeup.

How to set the tone for the face is the first question. There were two bases for sale. One of them is clearly not for fair-skinned people, "Tonak" is a dark foundation that was very popular with girls of the Negroid race. The second foundation is "Ballet", with a bunch of its lovely flaws. Something like powder, diluted with toothpaste ... Well, another masterpiece of cosmetics of those years - compact powder, but what to use it, what simple chalk - the effect will be the same. The girls who somehow still managed to cope with the application of the foundation, next worked on the eyes. Stilyagi focused on them. The eyes were supposed to be expressive, wide open and look very innocent. This task was also not an easy one. This was done in stages.

The first is to draw arrows. Eyeliner hadn't been invented yet, even eyeliner wasn't soft enough. Therefore, I had to fantasize and invent. Such a popular invention was the lead of a black pencil mixed with water. If you achieve the correct proportionality of the components, the composition can be applied with a thin brush. Sometimes the stylus was replaced with mascara. At that time, ink was a hard black bar that was scraped over with the included brush.

To make the eyes even more expressive, shadows were also applied to the upper eyelids. But not everyone could afford a blue, green or gray tint, the shadows were in great short supply, and therefore they were not an obligatory touch of the fashionista's makeup.Next - the eyebrows, they were thin among the dudes, like a thread. Some fashionistas were so fond of plucking them that in the end the eyebrows were simply drawn.

Now, lips. Eyes and lips are what made the face of dudes bright and attractive. But even here everything is complicated - in the Soviet Union, lipstick resembled something like plasticine, and not only in taste, but it also looked the same. So fashionistas had to be smart again and find a way out - they began to mix paint with petroleum jelly. So the lips turned out shiny, and it felt like this homemade remedy was much more pleasant. All this beauty was complemented by other accessories in the form of costumes, lush hairstyles, a daring independent look and, of course, a wide smile and ringing laughter.

No difficulties faced by the dudes of the 50s and 60s are no longer threatened by today's fashionistas. If you want to transform into a fashionista, you have a million opportunities for this, and a solid arsenal of cosmetics for every taste will help in this.

Fashion style makeup is distinguished from any other style by an atmosphere of ease and the absence of any rules, coquetry and enslavement. To create such a makeup should be step by step: the first is to create a beautiful shade on the face. To emphasize smooth, flawlessly healthy and beautiful skin, you need to use a scrub or gommage. When dead particles are removed, a moisturizer is applied to the face. To even out the tone, you can use foundation, and concealer will remove dark circles at the bottom of the eyes. The effect of flawless facial skin will be complemented by powder applied to it in conclusion.Without any problems, today you can pick it up a tone lighter than your own skin, but one that will be in perfect harmony with the natural shade. The corrective agent must be applied carefully and distributed very carefully, so that it is almost imperceptible.

The convex part of the cheeks is covered with blush of a suitable tone. Although few girls used them, as a rule, they either did not apply blush at all, or applied very little. If a girl has blond hair and blue eyes, Brigid Bordeaux makeup will suit her face - with loose peach or pink blush.

Next - eyebrows, in the style of the 60s - this is a thin and beautiful line. It should not be too bright, but not a tone darker or lighter than the color of the hair. For a blonde, an ash or gray eyebrow pencil would be the best solution, for a redhead - brown, and for a brunette - dark brown. A girl with blond hair is recommended to refuse to emphasize the eyebrow line in principle, since the everyday look does not provide for their selection at all. Usually this is done only as an addition to party makeup.

When the basic makeup is over, we move on to the eye makeup. You can use black eyeliner or liquid eyeliner. A straight line is drawn along the top of the eyelashes of the upper eyelid and extended beyond its borders. A light shade is applied at the bottom of the eyebrows, and the moving part of the eyelid is covered with golden, beige, yellow or brown. But this is not a panacea - shades can be chosen at your discretion: blue, light blue, light green. It all has to do with the shade of your eyes.If they are brown, shades of green and purple will suit you, if blue, gray or brown, and for gray eyes, blue shades will be the best choice.

When the shadows are applied, it is necessary to make the eyes brighter, the arrows will help with this. Swallow arrows are considered the most suitable for such makeup. They are made with both a solid pencil and a liquid eyeliner, drawing a line along the top of the lash growth and extending it throughout the eyelid. In conclusion, black thick mascara is applied to the eyelashes. Extended or false eyelashes will also look great, especially if a theme party is expected.

What are the nuances of makeup for a girl with green eyes? The best choice for her will be shades of gold, yellow and purple. It will also be interesting to look at the right green shade. Brown mascara is suitable, and it is better if it is a lengthening option. If your eyes are blue, then use pink, silver or lilac shades.

In general, for the “dandy” style, the basic accent is the brightness of the eyes, and lipstick and gloss can be of any tone, although bright pink, red and crimson colors are still preferable. Perhaps you have other preferences, you have the right to choose, just make sure that the tone of the lipstick matches the tone of the blush.

It is important to keep in mind that for the fashion style it is important how long your hair is, and if it is long, then the emphasis is not on the eyes, but on the lips. The hairstyle can be made curly, with curls, combed, collected in a lush ponytail, laid with a "corolla of the world." If a girl has a short haircut, any makeup will do, regardless of her hairstyle.

Definitely, the style is not only makeup. This is also a feminine hairstyle with light curls fashionable in the 60s, with twisted curls.It was very fashionable to wear a chignon, so wide ribbons in the hair were in fashion, hiding the place of its fastening. Hairstyles called “babette”, “bob” were considered fashionable, and the girl, as a rule, created such an image with her own hands.

Styling style today is a hairstyle with straight black hair, with curls, with bangs under Marilyn Monroe. And, of course, you can not do without such trifles as a clutch, clips and beads. A dandy is also beautiful slender legs and a thin waist, it was once fashionable, fashionable today and, for sure, will never go out of fashion.
