The 60's!

The period between prim & proper ideals of the ‘50s and saucy sexiness that was the ‘70s. Such a time of growth and experimentation and , as it always is with self expression, makeup was no exception.

To bring this look to life, we begin with  Eyes and create the Doe-eyed effect. Soft and innocent with that flirty kitten edge. Begin  by using light eyeshadow-such a blue, pink, or even white-as your base. add dimension by creating a high crease with a darker eyeshadow. 

This is usually done with so shade of black and to create this look with a modern twist, you can use a liner-liquid or pencil-to make it more dramatic. If you want a softer look, you can use either a brown or a soft black as the eye shadow. 

Line the inside of your eye with a white pencil to make your eyes look bigger and brighter and finish off by adding a flirty, "come hither" lash! 

On your cheeks, the color should be a "barely there" soft pink. The shade will depend on your skin tone and it should be applied  on the apples of your cheeks. Do this by smiling to find the apples of your cheeks and blending the blush out towards your temples. 

Finish up your look by using pale, soft pink lipstick with a bit of gloss. Your groovy look is now ready! Hope you enjoyed reading this!

Peace & Love!
