The 1960's was filled with color and energy that is still seen being replicated by fashionistas today. Let us take you back to a time of music festivals, free love and women's liberation, by offering you tips & tricks to get the best 60âs look!

Hair

60s hair relied heavily on hairspray, headbands and wild beauty. Big, voluminous styles were the norm. More natural, untamed tresses were also a very popular look. Ladies used accents like flowers, sashes, and feathers to accentuate their hairstyles.

Makeup

Makeup in the 1960s was all about the eyes. The "Twiggy" style was very popular (as seen in the top left picture). Dramatic eyeliner was applied in a winged fashion to achieve a glamorous aesthetic. Vibrant eye shadows and bright pink lipsticks were perfect for a modern edge. Other ladies chose to forego antiquated red lips in favor of a more natural pout. Free-spirited hippies would get very artistic with face paint designs.  

Accessories
