How to Apply 1960's Style Eye Makeup


The 1960s were a time of bold and dramatic makeup looks, and the eyes were no exception. Follow these steps to recreate a 1960s-inspired eye makeup look:

1. Start by applying a neutral eyeshadow base over your eyelids, using a shade that is close to your skin tone. This will help to even out the color of your eyelids and make the other colors you apply stand out more.

2. Next, apply a light or medium shade of eyeshadow to your entire eyelid. Choose a color that complements your skin tone and eye color, such as a light pink, beige, or brown.

3. Using a darker shade of eyeshadow, create a contour in the crease of your eyelid. Blend the color well to create a subtle gradient effect.

4. Apply a thin line of black liquid eyeliner along your upper lash line, extending the line slightly past the outer corner of your eye to create a winged effect. You can also line your lower lash line with a thin line of black eyeliner if desired.

5. Apply several coats of black mascara to your upper and lower lashes, focusing on the outer corners of your eyes to create a doe-eyed effect.

6. If you want to add extra drama to your look, you can also apply false eyelashes or individual lashes to your upper lash line.

7. Finish the look by applying a nude or pale pink lipstick to your lips, keeping the focus on your eyes.

Remember to blend your eyeshadows well for a seamless and natural finish, and don't be afraid to experiment with different colors and techniques to find the perfect 1960s-inspired eye makeup look for you!
