Today we are looking at Make up in the 1960s
Here are some Make up in the 1960s trends
Everything was changing when it came to Make up in the 1960s.
Makeup looks were at both ends of the scale, from the natural hippie look to the dramatic black and white eyes of mod to high-fashion, with pastel colours making their mark.
The love for bold geometric patterns and black and white spilled over into the white eye shadow and black crease look, as exemplified by 1960s model Twiggy on the cover of many magazines.
Later in the 1960s, the hippie counter culture made its mark with a taste for more natural faces and products, though face and body painting, synonymous with the “flower power” movement, was very colourful.
Long and thick upper and lower lashes were the trend. False lashes were used on the top and the bottom lashes were drawn on but sometimes falsies were used on the bottom as well. White eyeliner was used on the water line and black liquid liner was used on the top. The top liner was usually thick and winged out. White eye shadow was used on the eye lids. Dark brown eye shadow was drawn out above the crease and winged out matching the eye liner. Pale lips were created by applying either pale pink lipstick or foundation to the lips.
Mary Quant launched a cosmetics range in the late 1960s. Quant’s makeup was specifically designed for their young mini-skirt wearing customers, taking them away from the cosmetic products worn by their parents. If you find Mary Quant make up today and it’s unused it would be worth a pretty penny.
We still see a lot of the Make up in the 1960s used today.
