The decade of The Beatles, Woodstock, and It girls has left a significant mark on how we do makeup, hair, and dress today. Ladies have started to experiment with bolder makeup looks at that time, hence the birth of the signature Twiggy eyelash look, the Brigitte Bardot bombshell glam, and Elizabeth Taylor’s graphic liner. While we have lots of trends to try nowadays, it seems that the 60s are back in the spotlight. We have noticed an increasing number of graphic liner looks, exaggerated top and bottom lash, and striking neon colors on the eyes. Without a doubt, 60s makeup looks are trending on Instagram. Here is how to wear this retro aesthetic – the modern way.
The iconic Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra makeup look is an endless source of inspiration for modern-day beauty obsessives. You can copy the aesthetic in a more wearable way. Cover your lid in matte blue eyeshadow, but don’t bring it higher than your crease. Then, top the look with baby feline flicks and floating lines to bring out your gaze.
