Let's Talk Retro Makeup!

Let's talk about retro make up here :) List your inspiration, tell us your favorite looks, and post your own photos!

 

Below is Twiggy with "mod make-up"! She has on false upper lashes, drawn on bottom lashes, bright blue eyeshadow, a dark liner in her crease area, and pink lips!

Candy O, I really enjoyed reading that page about 1960's Mod Makeup that you linked to!

I noticed that the last picture on that page is really Edie Sedgwick and not Twiggy, LOL but that's ok, because I think they are both cool!

Dulce means "Candy" and "Sweet" in Spanish. I figured that girl in the video was either Latin or Italian. She reminds me of myself LOL I agree that false eyelashes are hard to deal with and pricey.

You should take a picture of your Halloween makeup and post it on here! :-)

P.S. That's awesome you have a Beatles calendar! And no, you don't look like an androgynous lead singer of an 80s Asian band! LOL!!!

[Candy O]

LOLLL Sadie! Thanks for thinking otherwise. Maybe I'll do more retro looks so I can get better at it. :) I'll definitely post my Halloween make up on here. I can't wait to see more of your eyeshadow looks!

Inspired by Marilyn Monroe's glamourous beauty, MAC Cosmetics released a limited-edition of nearly 30 products which includes eyeshadow, lipstick, nail lacquer and eyeliner.

That is so cool! "Valley Of The Dolls" inspired makeup! I recently watched that film on Netflix (finally!) and I thought all three of the women in that movie were so gorgeous! :-)

Such a pretty collection for inspired make up! That's awesome you finally watched the movie! :)

Here is an eye make up look made up of bright orange colors! I would title this "Grapefruit Delight"

I bought the 'Eyes on the '60s' palette from BH Cosmetics.

Here is a purple eyeshadow look I've mustered up! XD "Muddy Purple"

 WOW! That grapefruit eyeshadow effect is so cool!

And "grapefruit" reminds me of Yoko!

So that makes it even cooler!

I love that picture of you with (double) polka dot background! So retro! & You're a cutie!

That's awesome you found an eyeshadow palette called "Eyes on the 60s"! 

Now I feel like joining Instagram! :-)

My experiments with red lips! (and different hair colors LOL)

This crayon looking thing is pricey at about $10 (but worth it!)

It lasts long and dosen't smudge or fade or wipe off easily, unlike red lipstick!

[Candy O]

I love red lips! They're so classic & makes you look & feel instantly glamorous! ^_^

Cool! That Revlon lipstain seems like something I'd like to try out.

I'm checking it out online. Which shade do you have it in?
