Makeup Trends of the 1960s Era

In contrast to the delicate and feminine makeup of the 1950s, the art of makeup progressed, becoming more colourful and dramatic in the 1960s. The 1960s had some very statement-making cosmetic trends that helped the decade launch a beauty movement and forge its own identity. Let’s look at it:

The popular makeup trend from the 1960s was Black crease eyeshadow. In fact, taking a closer look, you will understand that graphic eyeliner is just the modernised version of this trend from the 1960s.

Baby Doll Lashes Drawing

It might look similar to Instagram reels promulgated lower lash eyeliner look, but drawing beneath the lower eyelashes was pretty common in the 1960s. A thick-winged eyeliner was one of the 1960s’ most popular eye makeup trends. The 1960s were great for eye makeup.

Nude Lips

Nude lips were pretty common back in the day. Pale pink frosted lips were the part of makeup routine in those times. Women painted their lips in light lipstick hues, and some even went overboard by covering their lips with a powder foundation in an effort to draw all the focus to their eyes. Then they would simply brush a quick dab of coloured lip balm.
