Beauty trends 2021: 60s trends that are coming back into fashion

Makeup 60s: Debriefing

Today I will share with you a few secrets for creating an authentic 60s look.
Be prepared - this is not the easiest thing, but there is nothing supernatural here, so feel free to arm yourself with your makeup bag and start experimenting! Face tone: Light shades were often preferred to tanned skin, but this, of course, is not the main rule. In any case, the complexion should be even, without provocatively bright blush or overtly darkened cheeks. The shade of foundation should match your skin tone. Apply foundation that suits your skin type. To give your skin a matte look, use powder - but don't overdo it! You can shade your cheekbones and make your face look visually better with a soft corrector or blush.

Lips: In the late 50s and early 60s, luscious lips in bright red shades were in fashion. However, by the mid-60s this trend passed, giving way to pale lips that sometimes merged with the complexion. To achieve the desired effect, apply a little foundation on them. Use beige or light pink lip gloss on top. The second option is light lipstick + optional colorless gloss. It is better not to use a pencil. Lips should look touching, gentle and completely discreet.

Eyes: And now to the most important thing. Eyes are the main and most complex element of makeup. First, decide what effect you want to achieve? For a more classic look, use white and gray shadows, for a more exotic look - bright, colorful (in moderation, of course), for a more expressive look - dark, black. Start by applying a light or bright eyeshadow to the top of your eyelid and under your brow bone. Gently apply dark shades to the outer corners of the eyes and blend lightly. Apply lighter shades to the inner corner of the eye and the main visible part of the eyelid. Using a black pencil, lightly mark the eyelash line where you will draw arrows.

A dark stripe drawn directly along the upper part of the eyelid was considered very fashionable. This strip gives depth and expressiveness to the eyes. It is most convenient to draw it with a dark pencil, but you can also use thick shadows. Gently, without closing your eyes, draw a pencil along the top of the eyelid, from the inside of the eye to the outside. Then the strip can be slightly shaded.

Drawing arrows: There are a huge number of variations in the shapes and sizes of arrows. It all depends on your imagination and eye shape. Not all arrows may be suitable. Experiment with angle, length and shape, but remember - the main thing is that your arrows are even and neat. To do this, use liquid eyeliner with a thin brush. A little tip: to ensure that your arrows are the same size, mark in advance the points where the arrow will bend and end. Check left and right sides. And start creating. If this is your first time drawing arrows like this, don’t despair if it doesn’t work out right away, or if the chosen shape doesn’t suit you. Don't be afraid to search, try and get ideas from your favorite photos.

Eyelashes: Eyelashes are another sensitive topic, strategically important when creating an image. Some girls in the 60s did everything they could to get lush eyelashes - they applied tons of unforgettable spit-and-paint mascara, spent a long time and scrupulously separating them with brushes or needles, and then just as long and painfully washed off all this beauty, so that the next day and not be left without eyelashes at all. Fortunately, modern cosmetics offer special mascaras, brushes, and liquids for gentle makeup removal. To create truly long and voluminous eyelashes, you will need thick black mascara with a thick, thick brush, a curler and a special comb-brush. First use a curler (if this is your first time, be careful not to pinch your eyelid), then use mascara. Next, run the brush several times over the still wet eyelashes. To open up and highlight your eyes, color your lower lashes well.

How to tame false eyelashes: If you still don’t want to bother yourself with complex artistic operations or you think that your eyelashes are not long enough, use false eyelashes. True, gluing eyelashes on is also not an easy task and requires skill. Here are some tips on how to get along with them. The technique for gluing eyelashes depends on their type. Individual eyelashes or a bunch of 3-4 eyelashes are applied to the upper eyelid, starting from the outer corner. To do this, you need to drop a special glue on the outside of your palm and carefully lower the base of the eyelash or bundle into it. For continuous false eyelashes, apply a few drops of glue evenly onto the base itself. Be careful when applying the glue as... it can stick together your real eyelashes or get into your eyes. Never use cheap glue! Firstly, it can cause irritation, and secondly, your beautiful eyelashes can start to peel off right on the dance floor.

You can apply artificial eyelashes using regular or special tweezers or using your fingers. Individual eyelashes or a bunch of eyelashes are applied to the outer corner of the eyes, as close as possible to the line of natural eyelashes, and pressed with a finger for a few seconds. The operation can be repeated, but leave at least a millimeter between the eyelashes, then they will look most impressive. The more familiar false eyelashes, after applying a few drops of glue, are pressed over the main eyelashes, first in the middle of the upper eyelid, then smoothed towards the outer and inner corners of the eyes.

Once the false eyelashes have found their place, wait a few moments and blink to make sure there is nothing in the way. If your eyelashes are disposable, you can apply mascara along with your natural ones. Before use, “warm” your false eyelashes in your palms, for example, by wrapping them around your index finger and covering them with the palm of your other hand. This will allow them to become more flexible, elastic, better follow the contour of your eye when applied, and curve to match the shape of your eyelids. If you want to shorten a strip of artificial eyelashes, first apply it to the eye, starting from the outer corner, and carefully trim with nail scissors from the inside, because the eyelashes at the outer corner of the eye are always fluffier and longer.

And you shouldn’t, of course, forget that daytime and evening makeup are slightly different things. It’s unlikely that even the brightest ladies painted their eyes in the same way in the morning as they did before going out. Therefore, think about whether it is worth using bright shadows and gluing eyelashes on for work or study, or can you still get by with neat arrows.

How to draw arrows in the style of the 60s. How to draw arrows on different types of eyes with your own hands

First you need to determine what kind of eyes you have and choose a form of makeup for them. This will allow you to correctly choose the most profitable option from all existing ones.

Round

The round shape needs to be lengthened a little by outlining the inner corner with eyeliner. It is advisable to make bold, rather than thin, lines with a pencil, otherwise you will be guaranteed the effect of bulging eyes. Try to draw and shade the arrows correctly to fill the space between the eyelashes and narrow the roundness. It is not recommended to draw lower arrows.

Almond-shaped

In this case, you can draw different types of arrows, since such eyes are the standard of beauty. An interesting idea is to make long shaded arrows with an expanding effect. You can try the 60s style with dramatic winged wings. Start drawing the line from the inner corner, gradually increasing it closer to the end. Note that the tail should continue along the lash line at the end.

Narrow

It is better to draw visually enlarging arrows for narrow eyes that do not go beyond the border of the eye. The lower eyelid is left unpainted, or the line is emphasized only at the end. It is unacceptable to use a bright pencil for the bottom line. An eastern cut with small eyes can be corrected by making thin arrows, thickened only in the middle. The edges of the lines should be shaded.

Wide-set eyes

Some secrets will help you reduce this shape: draw the eyelid along its entire length, extending the line towards the bridge of the nose. It is advisable to perform it along the eyelash growth line. The lower eyelid should also be drawn along its entire length.

Arrows on close-set eyes

Here, the makeup process is the opposite of a close-up approach. It is better to make the beginning of the arrow with a slight indentation from the inner corner of the eyelid. On the outer corner you need to make beautiful rounded ends.

Makeup in the style of the 60s

A certain period in history has its own characteristics and differences. Makeup is no exception. In the forties of the last century, the makeup of girls was distinguished by tenderness and femininity. Another 10 years later, there was a touch of romance in the make-up. But the makeup of the 60s was distinguished by courage and determination, which beckon and fascinate.

In the period 50–60 years, social, political and cultural life was seething with new events. Feminism developed rapidly, and the sexual revolution began, open swimsuits and short skirts gained popularity, the emergence of new subcultures - all this refers to the general characteristics of the time of those years.

Shadows

Choose the right shadows for your 60s makeup

You can also choose bright shadows - blue, green, etc. with a brilliant effect (this option is suitable for an evening event - a disco, a party, a friend's birthday), but if you still prefer restraint, stick to beige, gray and black tones.

Light shadows

should be applied to the moving eyelid, highlighting the inner corner of the eye and the brow area, and dark shadows should be applied to the crease of the eyelid, which will visually enlarge the eyes. Carefully blend the dark shadows, then take up the eyeliner.

Features of the make-up

The desire of young people to be independent and express themselves led to the fact that bright colors in style enjoyed particular success, while naturalness and naturalness faded into the background. Flashy clothes and accessories were complemented by a previously unprecedented make-up, in which the main role was given to the gaze.

In the mid-sixties, bright lipstick lost its position in the popularity rankings to light shades. At the same time, more and more girls chose not lipstick, but lip gloss, which made them fuller and more attractive.

The effect of skin without makeup was welcomed. That is, foundation, powder, and even blush were used to make the skin tone of the face light and even, but at the same time they had to remain barely noticeable.

But the most varied and unexpected shadows could be found in the makeup of that time. Beige natural shades were extremely rare.

To make their eyes more expressive, the girls did not spare mascara and painted the lower and upper eyelashes equally intensely and in several layers.

Carelessness in make-up does not indicate the girl’s inept work. This is the norm, which is another feature of the 60s.

Needless to say, our grandmothers used the means that were at hand. Nowadays there are a lot of options for quality products, so creating a 60s look is not so difficult. But, in addition to good cosmetic devices, it is necessary to adhere to the technology that nevertheless developed in those years. In order for your makeup and image as a whole to evoke delight and praise, you need to make it neat, emphasizing the strengths of your appearance and hiding flaws. Having mastered this technique and being guided by the rules, you can, even without having a huge range of various cosmetics, make an attractive make-up.

First of all, you need to know the difference between a complex make-up and a simple one.

Each of them has its own purpose:

• Simple 60s makeup is designed to make the face look fresher and even younger.
• The second one is able to disguise all defects and more. With the correct application of cosmetics, you can hide scars and moles.

Like makeup of any time, in the 60s it was possible to do a daytime version that was more similar to natural. It is simple, but at the same time very attractive. This shape emphasizes the beauty of a woman’s face, gives freshness and hides minor flaws. Or you could create an attractive option for a special occasion, for the evening. But then more cosmetics and, of course, time were required. In this case, there were not just cosmetics, but also a variety of devices, such as false eyelashes.

Whatever type of make-up is chosen, the steps will be the same:

• skin preparation;
• eyebrow shaping;
• eye decoration;
• blush;
• lip make-up

Makeup must have a preparatory stage. Namely: before covering your face with cosmetics in this style, you need to carry out preparatory work.

First of all, special attention is paid to the skin:

• The skin should be well cleansed. To do this, it will be enough to wipe it with tonic and remove any remaining cosmetics that may remain.
• To evenly distribute toning products, it is necessary to apply a cream appropriate to the type of epidermis on the face. So, for dry skin, a moisturizer according to age is suitable. Oily - needs to be made more matte.
• Before applying foundation, it is necessary to correct existing defects. A corrector or concealer will help disguise them, and blue under the eyes, age spots, and pimples will not ruin your appearance.
• Next, you need to make sure that the surface of the face looks smooth and velvety. Foundation and powder will help with this. To ensure that the shade of foundation is successfully selected and matches the type of dermis, you should test it not on your hand, but on your neck. Too light ones will add unnaturalness to the face. And dark ones will visually separate it from the neck.

Makeup Brigitte Bardot

As you already understood, makeup of the 60s meant an emphasis on the eyes. A bright representative of this image is Brigitte Bardot. Despite her blond hair, her eyes, highlighted in black, did not look vulgar. On the contrary, it gave her a certain charm and sexuality. If you are also a bright blonde, we suggest you try her style by doing makeup like in the 60s according to step-by-step instructions:

1. Apply a light beige tone to the face. If the skin does not need a foundation, then we simply correct circles under the eyes, small pimples, and freckles with concealer;
2. Powder with light powder;
3. We choose pink blush. We apply them directly to the cheeks. This blush, coupled with her raised upper lip, gave Bridget an expression of charming naivety;
4. Eyes. You don't have to use shadows if it's daytime makeup. For an evening event, you can cover the moving eyelid with light shadows in the color of the outfit;
5. Apply eyeliner along the upper eyelid so that it practically does not extend beyond the contour of the eye. The arrow should gradually taper;
6. Use a black pencil or the same eyeliner to completely outline the eye contour;
7. We don't regret black mascara. Apply it to the upper and lower eyelashes.

We got not just makeup like in the 60s, but makeup just like Brigitte Bardot.

Selection of shades

When the skin is ready, you need to decide on the colors of other decorative cosmetics. The best option for this would be to determine a person’s color type, taking into account the characteristics of the skin, hair and eyes. By making the right choice, you can create an amazing bow. But when choosing, you need to take into account not only this. An important role is played by the tastes of the girl herself, the occasion and type of makeup.

During the creative process of applying makeup, sponges, a variety of brushes, cotton pads, cotton swabs, a convenient mirror and high-quality lighting will come in handy.

Basic tips and tricks will help you create an image that matches the style that was fashionable in the 60s and 70s. They touch the shape of the face and allow you to correct it using only cosmetics:

• A light shade of powder on the forehead, under the eyes and on the chin is necessary for those with a triangle-shaped face. This will focus on the middle of the face.
• Light colors on the area below the eyes, on the tip of the chin and the middle of the forehead will help young ladies whose face shape is classified as a square to smooth out the lines.
• If you apply dark versions of cosmetics to the jaw area and cheeks, you will be able to make them a little narrower, and the pear-shaped face shape will not be so pronounced.
• Dark shades on the cheeks and temples will help visually make a round face narrower.
• If the shape is elongated, similar to an oval, then a dark version of the tone is used as a corrective agent on the bottom of the chin.

Arrows

60s style eyeliner will help you become more expressive

A pencil can also serve as an eyeliner.

. In the 60s, wide arrows became widespread, which were drawn as follows: after drawing an arrow with a pencil or dark shadows, just above the growth of the eyelashes (move along the crease of the eyelid from the outer corner of the eyelid to the inner), shade it. Moreover, this was done with an open eye.

You can also make more “jewelry” arrows - taking a rich black eyeliner, draw a bold arrow and finish it with an elegant ponytail.

Advice from modern makeup artists: eyes always appear larger if you use a hypoallergenic white pencil

on the mucous membrane of the lower eyelid.

Eyelashes

If eyeliner and shadow are the independent choice of every woman, then 60s-style eyelashes simply must be thick and long. To do this, they can be curled by applying several layers

high-quality mascara, or use false eyelashes.

Step by step diagram

Cosmetics are applied in a certain sequence developed by makeup artists. It is important not to forget that 60s makeup emphasizes the eyes. This allows you to experiment and select bold combinations, but at the same time being guided by the rule: “confidence and accuracy speak of luxury and good taste.”

The scheme for creating the 60s image will be as follows:

1. When the skin is prepared according to the above recommendations, correction work is carried out to shape the eyebrows.
2. Having selected a pencil of the desired shade and several options for shadows, you can begin to design your eyes. The line of growth of the upper eyelashes is drawn with a pencil, which visually opens up the look. Light shadows are placed in the corner of the eye, closer to the nose, and darker ones towards the outer corner.
3. Intensively colored eyelashes will correspond to the style of those times.
4. Blush, when applied correctly, will add freshness to your face.
5. The finishing touch will be painting your lips with gloss. Since the emphasis is on the eyes, the lips should not stand out too much.

There are very few complicated rules in creating an image whose idols were Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren and Catherine Deneuve. Therefore, it is very easy to master them. And for an ideal result you just need to consolidate it in practice.

Celebrity trendsetters of the 60s.

The famous makeup of the 60s did not immediately become the way we know it. At the beginning of the era, there was still a popular bright, catchy lipstick - its predecessor from the 50s. The canons of beauty gradually began to change and transformed into fashion for a sexy, expressive look. The lips began to be “muted”, using softer, neutral and natural colors. Femininity was what was fashionable in the 60s.

A little about the icons of the 60s.

Brigitte Bordot, Gina Lollobrigida, Audrey Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Sophia Loren, Jacqueline Kennedy and, of course, Twiggy. These and many other celebrities were admired and their images were repeated. Completely different, they were united by their love for fragile, unusually attractive makeup.

This style is still relevant today: it is copied and worn by famous people. And, I must say, the charming makeup of the 60s only decorates it!

Lesson 22. Makeup in the style of the 60s. Arrows

Good afternoon, I’m with you again, Elena Surkova, and today we have a lesson about makeup of the 60s - beautiful, sexy, unforgettable! What is 60s makeup - and these are brightly painted eyes, pale skin and lips and chic eyeliner! Although makeup in the 60s was not too bright, it expressed people’s desire for freedom and emancipation. Doing makeup at that time was more difficult because cosmetics were not the same as they are now. There were no eyelash curling brushes. One could only dream of such a color variety of shadows and lipsticks. But, despite all the difficulties, the girls knew how to express their individuality. And in many ways it was makeup that helped them with this. It was at that time that such a concept as youth fashion appeared in the world. Images of thin girls with a characteristic teenage angularity have become extremely fashionable. As for make-up, the tendency to focus attention on any one element of the face has come to the fore - most often the eyes. As for skin tone, preference was given to an even color, without any bright blush. Eyes were the main target of 60s makeup. Before you start making makeup in the style of the 60s, you should clearly decide what effect you are going to ultimately achieve. It’s just that the wide palette of colors of the shadows used in it urgently requires this. If classic restraint is your priority, then it is better to stick to light and gray shades. For brave and determined women, colorful and bright colors will be needed. But for the most extravagant ladies who are used to shocking, we can recommend any dark and even black shadows.

The main features of retro makeup

• The make-up focused on the eyes. Already in those days, the main rule of makeup was revered: to highlight either the lips or the eyes. And in the 60s, most people preferred to emphasize their eyes.

• The basis of eye makeup is expressive arrows. They were quite wide and extended beyond the edge of the eye and ended in thin, slightly upturned tails.

• The eyelashes were necessarily fluffy , painted in several layers. With the advent of mascara, women could add a special attractiveness to their look. Naturally, mascara existed then only in one color - black.

• Shadows may not have been used. But most often they were not excluded, covering the entire moving eyelid with color. They had not yet experimented with shade transitions, but simply painted the entire moving eyelid with one color. Pearlescent shadows were considered fashionable.

• With the help of powder, women lightened their natural complexion a little. Slight pallor was considered a sign of intelligence and elegance. It was not taken to extremes; the unnatural dullness of the skin was not praised. Only a fresh pinkish or clear beige tone.

• Transparent gloss in natural shades made lips plump and sensual , which was associated with youth. But famous women could paint their lips with bright lipstick when creating a stage or evening look.

History of origin

The height of the Cold War and the space race, the beginning of the sexual revolution and the rise of feminism, the emergence of the miniskirt and the popularization of the bikini swimsuit, the boom of pantsuits and the emergence of the hippie subculture - all these radical discoveries and changes characterize such a cultural phenomenon as the sixties.

A generation of young people brought up in the rapidly growing standard of living of the post-war years wanted freedom of expression, wanted to be special, not like everyone else. These bold sentiments led to the fact that everything bright, flashy, unnatural was at the peak of fashion: hairpieces, false eyelashes, synthetic fabrics, psychedelic and graphic prints, a huge selection of costume jewelry (from clip-on earrings and earrings to belts and glasses in bulky plastic frames).

Makeup Features

Makeup of the 60s, like all fashion trends of that time, was free and varied, with an emphasis on the eyes:

• until the mid-60s, bright lips were in fashion, as in the makeup of the 50s, but towards the end of the decade, light shades took over;
• lip gloss takes the leading position, relegating lipstick to the background;
• tone, powder and blush were supposed to create ideal fair skin with the effect of no makeup on it;
• multi-colored shadows were welcomed, although calmer beige tones were also widely used in makeup;
• To express the eyes, the upper and lower eyelashes were painted in several layers and, of course, all kinds of arrows were drawn, which were the main makeup trend in the style of the 60s.

1960s makeup

The 1960s are the brightest period in the history of fashion of the twentieth century. Youth culture and youth fashion became the leitmotif of the decade. Until this time, fashion was considered the territory of respectable adults. In the 1960s everything changed. The main hero of the fashion industry was the youth, and adult ladies, striving to keep up with the times, had to closely follow the trends that were becoming popular among the younger generation.

“The old style of makeup is over,” said the legendary Mary Quant. A thick layer of makeup on the face and artificially drawn eyebrows and eternal red lipstick are no longer relevant; a new naturalness is in fashion.

1960s makeup was all about perfect skin. The tone, powder and blush should be applied skillfully and delicately, so that the complexion is childishly beautiful, but at the same time creates the impression that there is no makeup on the face. Lipstick has lost its leading position. Faint, muted colors dominated fashion; gloss, creating the illusion of naturalness, became the most popular lip product. Eye makeup comes first.

The eyes had to be enlarged using all existing techniques of makeup art. Now fashion allowed women to paint their eyes so intensely that it seemed as if the makeup had been done by a little girl who had no sense of proportion. There was no end to experiments in eye makeup. Eye shadows have become the most popular cosmetic products. Bright, catchy combinations were super fashionable. Not a single woman who keeps up with the times could do without mascara. English top model Penelope Tree used false eyelashes that were longer on her lower eyelids than on her upper eyelids, thus creating the effect of exaggerated childishness.

One of the main trends in eye makeup is arrows.

Fashionable women's hairstyles of the 1960s are a collection of contradictions. Lush bouffant and geometric haircuts are in fashion, ultra-short haircuts called “Pixie”, haircuts with lush styling in the style of Gina Lollobrigida, the so-called Italian haircuts, smooth straight flowing hair in the hippie style and elegant styles with outward curled ends. hair. In addition, hairpieces and wigs were fashionable.

The legendary decade brought to the forefront of fashion many diverse, sometimes polar, current female images. Makeup trends could be seen in abundance in glossy magazines, on the pages of which respectable ladies with alabaster skin, pink lips and neatly lined eyes were depicted, tousled, bushy-haired beauties in the style of Brigitte Bardot, with natural faces, faded lips and bright makeup eyes, androgynous models with extravagant makeup, such as Twiggy or Penelope Tree, breaking all previous canons of female beauty, long-haired girls with transparent, almost invisible makeup, in the style of actress Jane Birkin or singer Françoise Hardy, charming babies with plump lips and painted eyes, similar to model Pattie Boyd, thin girls with ultra-short haircuts and emphatically large eyes, like actress Mia Farrow. In a word, freedom and diversity reigned in fashion, breaking all the stereotypes that existed in the first half of the twentieth century.

Examples to follow

It was not only famous actresses who conveyed their style in clothing and makeup to society. Among the women who were looked up to and imitated was, for example, the First Lady of the United States:

• Jacqueline Kennedy

Born July 28, 1929 in Southampton (New York, USA). Graceful, sophisticated and elegant, Jacqueline became the heroine of gossip columns and a trendsetter during the presidency of her husband John Kennedy. Her sleeveless dresses, low-heeled shoes and various gloves attracted the attention of women and men all over the world.

• Twiggy (née Lesley Hornby)

Born September 19, 1949 in London. The nickname of this British supermodel literally translates as “reed”. Fragile, big-eyed, with a boyish haircut, Twiggy was a kind of calling card of the decade and an idol for young people.

• Jane Fonda

Born December 21, 1937 in New York. Jane's spectacular appearance and extraordinary talent opened the path to fame for her. On the eve of her 80th birthday, Jane Fonda remains the standard of unfading female beauty.

• Catherine Deneuve

Born October 22, 1943 in Paris. Deneuve is a symbol of French cinema, with a charming appearance and impeccable taste.

The second youth of retro makeup

Retro style is in fashion. Designers have brought back flared trousers and denim overalls from the past, and makeup artists embody 60s-style makeup with modern cosmetics.

First of all, the 60s were marked by the appearance of charming women in the art of cinema, who are still the standard of beauty for many: Brigitte Bardot, Audrey Hepburn, Sophia Loren, Elizabeth Taylor and the incomparable Marilyn Monroe. Men went crazy for them, and women passionately wanted to be like them, copying their movements, outfits, hairstyles, communication style, and makeup.

Makeup in the style of the 60s
Makeup in the 60s was characterized by maximum naturalness, that is, women used light powder and foundation in order to create a beautiful matte shade. It is worth noting that concealers were popular because they helped remove redness and minor blemishes.

Makeup in the style of the 60s

It’s hard to believe that not all ladies did blush. They were not mandatory components of makeup. But those girls who wanted to highlight their cheeks used peach and pink shades. The blush was made matte, in some cases slightly shimmering.

Makeup in the style of the 60s

In the 60s, eyebrows were clearly defined and made to stand out. A clear contour was created using a special eyebrow pencil. But the eyebrows were painted very carefully, they were not drawn in too much with a pencil, so as not to overdo it. Every self-respecting girl regularly took care of her eyebrows so that they were in proper condition.

In the 60s, eyes definitely stood out. The makeup was distinguished by the use of light shades and pastel colors. Dark shadows were applied to the crease above the eyelid, creating a beautiful look. Very often one could see light colors under the eyebrows, perfectly emphasizing the eyes.

Eyeliner was popular. Many women bought and used it. Thus, the impression of thick eyelashes was created, and the eyes were visually enlarged. But as for brave women, they were not afraid to use blue and gray shades, especially pencils of various colors.

As already mentioned, bright lipstick was practically not used in the 60s, only in rare cases, but coral and pink, on the contrary, were at the peak of popularity. These colors went perfectly with eye makeup and hairstyle.

Light shades of varnishes were trendy. Everyone went crazy over the delicate color of the polish. A manicure was considered great if it had an almond shape and was painted with a light varnish. Of course, girls who liked to stand out used dark polishes and created a slightly scary manicure.

Features of 60s makeup

At that time, girls strived for freedom and emancipation, so they tried to wear noticeable makeup. It should be noted that then there was no such cosmetics as there are today and it was simply impossible to create a different makeup. For example, they didn’t know about eyelash curling brushes at all, because they didn’t exist. They used a brush, which they slobbered on regularly so that they could at least somehow use it. Lipstick and shadows were not in such incredible variety. But, despite the fact that many types of modern cosmetics were missing, the girls knew how to express their individuality and uniqueness.

It is impossible not to mention the shooters that ladies made in front of their eyes in the 60s. It was with their help that they highlighted the eyes and made them expressive. The arrows were aimed at completely different lengths and widths.

Currently, makeup from those years is repeated because it remains relevant. They use the same application technique, only supplementing it a little, creating an incredible image. Modern cosmetics allow you to do makeup in any style. Makeup in the style of the 60s is especially popular, because it can create a sensation at celebrations, any holidays and various events.

Makeup of the 90s was a boom in fashion, which at that time was on the verge of bad taste. This was most evident in post-Soviet countries, where representatives of the fair sex finally had the opportunity to use foreign cosmetics and were exposed to fashion trends from European countries and America. Thus began unprecedented, bold experiments in makeup. Nowadays, many fashion critics are inclined to think that it was a time of mockery of fashion.

And although they know very well that fashion tends to return from time to time, and that everything new is well-forgotten old, they would not want the fashion of those years to return.

Who did they take as an example?

The makeup of the 90s, which came to the countries of the former USSR, had much in common with the fashion that was relevant in America and Europe in the early 80s. This is a very bright and shocking fashion. Its peculiarity, first of all, is its individuality. The face should look as if it had just been washed - fresh, natural, with slightly shiny lips. The hairstyle should be distinguished by riotous colors; you can put the ponytail on the side in a knot, make a “Page” hairstyle, or curl the curls. Perhaps the most famous fashionistas of that time include such celebrities as:

• Julia Roberts;
• Björk;
• Courtney Love;
• Jennifer Aniston;
• Sharon Stone.

Since in the former USSR it was still too early to talk about the development of the fashion industry and beauty salons, Russian fashionistas had no choice but to take as a basis the appearance of just such celebrities whom they could see on the spreads of expensive glossy publications.

About the basic principles

The fashionista of the 90s is a girl with lush curls in a rich tone, glossy lipstick on her lips, the same shiny shadows on her eyelids, and her cheekbones highlighted with bright blush. A short dress is always decorated with numerous sequins; if a girl is wearing leggings, they are always bright, complemented, as a rule, by a “torn” sexy T-shirt, which was also worn with shorts, and shoes with high heels were always decorated with rhinestones.

1. One of the principles of 90s makeup is “minimalism.” This manifests itself in natural makeup and a preference for matte shades. For powder with blush - natural peach and pink tones, for lipstick - flesh, terracotta and brown tones, for lip contour - a darker color.
2. Selecting the Grunge style. It can be discerned by the “ragged” women’s haircuts, by the unusual tone of the curls, by the way the eyes are thickly lined, by the false eyelashes and by the lipstick in rich tones of dark brown, cherry and even purple.
3. Electrics. This means a matte texture in shadows, foundations and lipsticks, in the naturalness of eyebrows, in the relief of cheekbones emphasized by blush and the richness of lips with natural shades.
