LOL! Thanks for the compliments Beatlebob! But I can understand why you would leave this discussion to me and Candy O! LMAO!

Candy O, that last eyeshadow palette picture you posted looks nice! And the colors are actually similar and could be used together! Good luck! :-)

What a weird name it has though! LOL!!!!

So I was cruising on YouTube and of course, I'm always watching make up tutorials there even though I don't ever wear make up myself. I only experiment which always end up a big mess so then I give up, haha! Here I found some Twiggy-inspired make up tutorials :)

Quick 2 and a half minutes -

Fun one done by someone with an Asian ethnicity!

[60s Fan]

Cool videos! And yeah, I watch those makeup tutorial vids sometimes too, just for fun, I never actually try it out myself though lol

1960's Mod Makeup Tutorial

 

 

Dulce Candy used the "Eyes on the '60s Eyeshadow Palette" by BH Cosmetics

[Candy O]

SoOoOOO I was wanting that palette so badly, I started playing with my own makeup!

 

I made a Twiggy-inspired make up referencing the photo in the very first post in this topic.

 

Ta-da! The bottom lashes are hard to draw on!

Annnnnd here is me being silly, looking at the lads in the background.

[60s Fan]

Aww, you look sad in the third photo. I'm glad you look more cheerful in the last one! I like that little Beatles For Sale picture in the background! You make a great Twiggy! Much better than that other Asian girl in a video! LOL I think the girl in the "1960s Mod Makeup Tutorial" video looks like me! LOL and the "Twiggy Inspired Makeup" video I really enjoyed! I think the high contrast White & Black together look is the epitome of "Mod" :-)  Not just in clothes, but also in eye makeup! :-)

[60s Fan]

A perfect example! Beatlebob posted this picture first but I had to share it again because that's pretty much the coolest dress ever!

[Candy O]

Thanks! LOL I think I ended up like an androgynous 80s lead singer of an Asian band. hahaha. I guess my neutral face looks sad. I tried looking "bored" and "uninterested", so maybe it worked? :)

Yep, That picture of the lads is from my Beatles calendar for September. I like that it matches the fall theme.

Dulce is of Spanish descent (obviously of her name), so that's probably why you look like her. I wish I had fake eyelashes like her to add to my look, but falsies can get expensive and otherwise useless for me because I take my make up off right away.

Now I'm excited to experiment with more looks for Halloween make up. Make up can be so much fun!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the '60s mod black/white look. I think it's a classic and fun retro look that's definitely a favorite of mine. I really like that polka-dot Beatles dress, also!

Here is another post from a blog that discusses how the look is achieved:
