60's Inspired Makeup

Hi lovelies!

I'm so glad it's Wednesday, aren't you? That means the weekend is only a short three days away!

I have a new post to share with you all today, remember when I channelled my inner Lady Gaga? If you don't, click here to refresh your memory. If you just joined us (welcome, I hope you'll stay a while!) and don't know what I'm talking about, my blogger friend Aqeela hosts a makeup challenge on her blog every week, and this week, the theme was 60's inspired makeup!

Now, I was obviously not around during this era (and if you think I was, I might have to hurt you), but every time I think of the swinging sixties, I think of Twiggy! Twiggy was known for her sleek blonde crop, wide eyes, black liner and dramatic eyeshadow/eye makeup, all while managing to look pensive and innocent. Quite the feat when you think about it! Not sure who Twiggy is? Let me jog your memory!

I don't always manage to participate in Aqeela's themes as time often away from me, but I do enjoy participating when I can as it's always great fun and all the girls always come up with the most amazing looks.

I didn't have as much time and energy to devote to this theme as I'd have liked, as I have been unusually busy and also a little bit under the weather, but I had great fun putting my own spin on the classic 'Twiggy' look. I couldn't be bothered with false lashes so I just drew them on with a fine liner brush and some black shadow!

Products used:

I hope you enjoyed my 60's inspired look, it was great fun doing this look and my only regret is not having enough time/energy to do a better job! Don't forget to check out Aqeela's blog for the rest of the contributions to this week's theme!


Much love,
MM.
