Retro 1960’s makeup trend is back and hotter than ever!

The sixties were all about miniskirts, beehives and cat eyed peepers. The glamorous Hollywood girls back then like Sophia Loren and Elizabeth Taylor rocked the ‘cat-eyed’ look and now modern day glamazon’s like Nicole Richie and Dianna Aragon are bringing back the sixties! Glamarama!

If you want your peepers to go ‘catty’ with the dramatic winged eyeliner look here’s how…
Before you start on your peepers make sure they are wiped clean of any remaining eye makeup for the best canvas. Apply an eye primer all over your eyelids with your fingers; gently pat it in to get it nice and smooth so that your shadow goes on perfectly and stays!

Because the cat-eyed liner look is very dramatic the focus in on the eyeliner so keep the eyes shadow simple!

For a glam contemporary take on the look go for smoky shimmery eye shadow to complement the winged eyeliner.

For your palette choose a range of bronze shades for the best effect. Bronze colours suit green, blue and brown eyed girls so go wild.

With your blending brush, apply a light iridescent brown on upper and lower lids as well as the inner corners of your eyes.

The next step in creating this retro look is to blend a darker hue of bronze to the outer corners to create a sultry look for your lids. To finish off your lids dust a light gold shimmery shadow for extra shimmer!

To achieve the dramatic cat-eyed look use liquid liner in jet black for your eyes to really pop! Use a steady hand to line your upper lids. Work from the inner eye outwards and finish it off with a stroke upwards to create the cat look.

Line your bottom lids lightly with liquid eyeliner and make sure not to smudge!

Finish off your peepers with a couple of coats of jet black mascara and you are ready to retro rock!

Tip:  Before you begin for optimum lash fabulousness curl your eyelashes!

With this dramatic look, keep the rest of your makeup simple and finish off with glossy pale lips.
