This decade introduced a variety of eyeliner styles that went beyond the traditional.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From double flicks to fishtail wings, the options were endless and allowed for a personalised touch. These styles ranged from subtle elements to bold, statement looks, making graphic eyeliner a versatile choice for iconic 60s makeup.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sharp_Eyebrows\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharp Eyebrows<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eyebrows in the 60s took a turn from the fuller styles of previous decades, embracing a sharper, more sculpted look.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sixties make-up often featured well-groomed, neatly arched eyebrows that framed the face and accentuated the eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To achieve this, use an <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/eyebrow-pencils.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eyebrow pencil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for precision, creating fine, hair-like strokes to fill in sparse areas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nude_Lips\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nude Lips<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1960s makeup, the lips often took a backseat to the dramatic eyes, with lip colours chosen to complement rather than compete.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nude and light pink shades were popular, providing a subtle yet sophisticated finish that allowed the eye makeup to stand out. For those looking to perfect their 1960s makeup and hair, a simple tinted lip balm or a shade match using a virtual tool can provide the perfect understated elegance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Create_the_Classic_60s_Look\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to Create the Classic 60s Look<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4657\" src=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1960s-makeup-create-classic-look.jpg\" alt=\"1960s makeup create classic look\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1960s-makeup-create-classic-look.jpg 720w, https:\/\/www.treasurehouseofmakeup.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/1960s-makeup-create-classic-look-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To truly embody the 60s makeup looks, start with a radiant, flawless complexion as your base.

Apply it evenly using a foundation brush for a smooth base.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a radiant concealer under the eyes and around any areas that need brightening. Set everything in place with a light dusting of translucent powder for a matte finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Thin_Rounded_Brows\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thin, Rounded Brows<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shape your eyebrows into a gentle, rounded arch using a fine-tip eyebrow pencil.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brush through with a spoolie to blend and soften the look. Set with a clear brow gel to maintain the shape throughout the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bold_Eyeliner\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bold Eyeliner<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the signature 60s eye makeup look, use a black eyeliner to create bold, graphic lines.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start from the inner corner of the eye and work your way outwards, adding a dramatic flick at the end.
