60s make-up transformation
Good evening, my fellow make-up lovers! Today’s look is going to be dedicated to my favorite era – the ‘ 60s! Good music and fashion, what can be more fun!
Women’s fashion in ‘ 60s can go down on HERstory (yes, that’s a pun, you’re welcome) with the brightest and psychedelic colors and I LOVE IT! But on today’s look, we will tone it down a little, and focus on the other side of that spectrum.
Step 1: The ‘ 60s inspiration
Breakfast at Tiffany’s, what can be more iconic? This movie is the definition of the ‘ 60s. So that is exactly what’s going to inspire us today, with of course some good music. Here’s the Spotify playlist that I’ve created to get you in a mood: click here or if you don’t have Spotify, here’s a list of top 10:
- Respect – Aretha Franklin
- Knock on Wood – Eddie Floyd
- Comin’ Home Baby – Mel Torme
- Stand By Me – Ben E. King
- My Favorite Things – John Coltrane
- Both Sides Now – Judy Collins
- Listen Here – Eddie Harris
- Cool Jerk – The Capitols
- Once I Was – Tim Buckley
- 1969 – The Stooges
So, now when we know what we’re going to listen/watch, let’s begin!
Step 2: Let’s start!
At first we’re going to need:
- Eye liner
- White eyeshadow
- Black eyeshadow
- Brow pencil
- Mascara
- Your normal foundation
- Corrector
First, we’re doing the basics of our face! So, please, apply your foundation, corrector/concealer the way you usually do. Then work on your brows. Take your time, honey (we all know this part is the hardest).
And now let’s work on our eyes, cause that’s exactly how we’re going to time travel.
- Apply white eyeshadow all over your eyelid.
- Create a line with your eyeliner right below your brow bone, and go over that line with some black eyeshadow to create a very expressive shadow. Try to do this just like in the picture.
- With the same eyeliner draw yourself a cat wing liner with a dolly lashes below and finish it with your favorite mascara.
To finish out the transformation, I clipped some of my hair in a low ponytail with volume underneath it, grabbed wine glass (with water in it, drink responsibly, kids) and edit my pictures with retro effect to create a vision like Im at a ‘ 60s party!
