Do you admire the fresh and luminous aspect of the Sixties make-up? Are your beauty icons Twiggy or Pattie Boyd? Follow this tutorial step by step to get the look of the fabulous sixties.
Steps
Method 1 of 4: Part 1: Face
Step 1. Clean your face first
If you have dry skin, moisturize it with a light, non-greasy cream. Make-up can look sloppy if there are patches. If you choose a foundation, use a light one. Before you start, you should be completely removed, including the mascara and the rest of your makeup!
Step 2. Swipe a light brush of blush on your cheeks
Not too much, it serves to add some color. Choose the right shade. Smile as you apply it. Start by dabbing gently and when you apply the desired amount while smiling, spread it out with a clean brush or your hands / fingers. Try to apply the same amount on both cheeks.
Method 2 of 4: Part 2: Eyes
Step 1. Apply some face powder on the eyelids
Step 2. Use a light, neutral shade and distribute it along the lids
Step 3. Then with a different shade, darker and matte eyeshadow, fill in the area between the lids and eyebrows
This way you will better define the eyes.
Step 4. Swipe an eyeliner (liquid or gel if you have a steady hand, a pencil if it's not steady) along the lash line with small strokes
This is also called 'feathering'.
Step 5. Moving outwards, make the line thicker
(Before the next step you can apply the false lashes if you wish)
Step 6. Apply black mascara
You can also use an eyelash curler if you prefer (possibly one suitable for adding volume and lengthening the lashes).
Step 7. Move the mascara brush in a zigzag pattern along the lashes from base to tip and wait at least 10 seconds before applying additional layers
This will make the lashes thicker and longer. Don't apply too many layers of mascara, or lumps will form between the lashes. If you plan on outlining your lower lashes like Twiggy's, don't apply too much mascara.
Step 8. Check the overall effect in the mirror and go over the eyeliner if you think it is necessary, but don't do it if you have already wiped the eyeshadow
Step 9. You can also use false lashes, depending on the type of look you want to mimic
Typically, you should use lashes that are long and thick, but that somehow look natural. Use glue suitable for false eyelashes. Some false eyelashes already contain the appropriate glue in the package, but it is always better to buy a specific tube of glue for false eyelashes, because the applicator is 10 times more precise.
Step 10. Follow the instructions in the package to apply the lashes
It can be a bit difficult if you don't already have experience. If you can, find someone who has a steady hand and can help you apply your lashes.
Method 3 of 4: Part 3: Optional for the Eyes
Step 1. With a steady hand, using a liquid or gel eyeliner, outline the edge of the lower lashes
Do short strokes. They should be spaced apart, shaped like inverted triangles and straight, not tilted in a specific direction. Towards the outside of the eye, along the last lashes, you can draw strokes that tend towards a natural direction.
Step 2. For a less conspicuous alternative, you can draw smaller and closer strokes that tend towards the outer corner of the eye
Method 4 of 4: Part 4: Lips
Step 1. Apply a matte pink lipstick, or a red one if you want a more eye-catching effect
If you want a flashy effect, use a little gloss.
Advice
- Do not overdo it. It is important to keep the focus on the eyes and leave the rest in the background.
- Use a color that matches your natural colors. If you have dark skin, try a golden brown tint on your eyelids.
- Apply eyeliner with precision.
- Do not use colored mascara. Only brown or black.
- Use all the dull makeups.
- Also consider your needs. If you have to work all day, under stress or sweating, you should get waterproof mascara.
Warnings
- If you want to use an eyelash curler, be careful, you may lose some eyelashes.
- Don't overdo the eyeliner. It should be a simple line.
- Do not use baby oil to remove make-up; fragrance and other chemicals may irritate the eyes. Pure vegetable oil (soy, olive, wheat, etc.) is fine, if you are not allergic to the main component.
- Be careful when applying eyeshadow and try not to let it spread.
- When you apply the eyeliner on the lower part, put it ONLY below the lash line, then "fill in" the outer corner of the eye. DO NOT put it on the inner edge of the eyelid.
