Q&A for How to Apply 1960s Style Eye Makeup

Popular brands in the 1960s were Max Factor, Covergirl, Maybelline, Elizabeth Arden, and Revlon, among others. As of 2018, all the brands are still sold in the United States except for Max Factor, which is sold overseas.

Take a bit of Vaseline and swipe it over the brow so that the hairs stick to your skin. Next, take an eyebrow brush and brush the brows so that they are going in the desired direction. It helps if you brush everything upward and outward first, then brush down the longer strays and the arch.

There weren't really any matte lipsticks in the 60's. There were four popular shades: bright blue-red, your-lips-but-better pink, red-orange, and peach-orange. Keep in mind that red is a timeless classic, so if you don't know what color to put with a historical look, go with red.

You will need to look up a separate tutorial on that as this is only for the 60's. You can also just use eyeliner and look up pictures and do it freehand.

Apply purple eye shadow. Next, apply white eyeliner and mascara on your lower lash line. Finally, apply eyeliner and fake lashes.

Big wings were a thing in the '70s. Try sleek feline winged eyeliner, with not too much eyeshadow.

It's actually pretty easy, back in the 80s, 90s, 00s and 10s eye shadows tended to be bright and or have a pop to it, but make sure you don't make the colors too vibrant.

Follow the same process. Then, after completing the eye makeup, you want to prime, color correct, conceal and use foundation on your face. This should hopefully hide red spots and blemishes.

Powdered makeup is fine just make sure you use a wet beauty blender to blend it all in, and setting spray.This will help your makeup look natural, and less cakey.

Using a black kohl eye liner, line your upper lash line first and make sure your line is thicker than usual, as Bardot went very bold with her eyeliner. Then, add a slight but sharp wing. Line your bottom lash line as well and draw the line to almost the inner corner of your eye. For eyeshadow, I would use a blue or purple color. Apply it to your lid, then blend it and add false lashes.
