1960s Makeup
For a full video tutorial showing you how to do a whole face of Mod makeup, see our guide to Achieving the ’60s Mod Makeup Look. Below, I’ve detailed the basics of the mod makeup look again but be sure to check out the linked post above for the video guidance!
To get Twiggy and Edie’s ’60s Mod eyes, you’ll need:
Product Information: White Eyeliner-NARS, Black Liquid Eyeliner-MAC, Matte White Eyeshadow-NARS, False Eyelashes-Sephora, Nude Lipstick-MAC, Brow Pencil-Lorlac, Black Eyeliner Pencil-Benefit Cosmetics.
- After applying foundation and concealer to your face for a base, apply a matte white eyeshadow across your eyelids.
- Apply a white eyeliner to your bottom waterline of your eyes. This makes your eyes appear brighter and bigger.
- Outline your top eyelid with a black liquid eyeliner, drawing a thin line along your eyelashes.
- Using the black liquid eyeliner, draw a half moon shape in the crease of your eyes above the white eyeshadow.
- Use a black eyeliner pencil to line your bottom lid next to the white waterline.
- Using the liquid eyeliner, “draw” a few extending bottom lashes. Be sure not to go too crazy with how long the lines are – keep them shorter.
- After curling and applying mascara to your lashes, apply your fake eyelashes to your top lid. Add a few more sweeps of mascara to make the lashes blend in.
- Use a brow pencil to define your eyebrows.
- Apply a nude lipstick to finish off the look.
Updated 1960s Makeup
Instead of going full-fledged Edie or Twiggy, get an updated ’60s mod look by playing around with eyeliner. Defining your lower lashes or applying dramatic, winged eyeliner (a la Elizabeth Taylor’s Cleopatra) are great ways to pull of mod makeup without looking costume-y.1960s Hair

“Flippy” hair is also an easy and adorable way to add some ’60s flair to your do. To get this look, take a curling iron (or even a flat iron) and after placing it about 2-3 inches from the ends of a 1-2 inch section of hair, gently curl the hair outwards. After spraying a little hair spray for staying power, you can work the flip with your fingers to make the style a little looser. The flip is adorable with a ponytail (like Drew Barrymore pictures above) or even just with your hair down.
Another simple way to do a ’60s hairstyle is to use ribbon as a hair accessory. Side-swept bangs, flipped out ends, and ribbon used as a headband will help you emulate the decade in a subtle way.

certainly like your website but you have to take a look
at the spelling on several of your posts. A number of them are rife with spelling problems
and I find it very troublesome to tell the reality then again
I'll surely come back again.
