The Twiggy Look

One type of makeup I absolutely love is the look of the 60’s. It may seem a bit extreme today, but that is exactly what makes it charmingly bold. It stands out almost like a statement piece. The 60s were totally opposing the plastic look of the 50s. Women were letting freckles show through and abandoned the red lipstick completely. It was all about the big dramatic eyes!

So how did WE do the Twiggy style look… Start by applying foundation, but not too much. As we said, if you have freckles let them show. Then apply white shadow across the entire lid. Take a black shadow, in this case I used a creamy one, so that it sticks more. Draw a line across the crease of the eye and be careful to make it define and even on both lids. Then, take a shade of dark grey and blend it but just a little bit. Line your lower lid with white liner, pulling the liner to the outer corners. Do the same thing but with black liner under the white one. Then, line your upper line with the black liner starting from the very inner corner and pulling outwards. For the lashes it is best to apply false ones, or at least use a few coats of mascara to make them really big and thick. It is important to make the lower lashes also show a lot. For a finished look almost conceal your lips with a nude color.
