1960s eye make-up

The other night I was feeling really bored so I decided to try doing some Penelope Tree style eye make-up to pass the time.

This is how it turned out (the images are bad quality phone photos sorry!) I have tried doing 60s make-up before and hadn't been entirely happy with the turn out, but this time I think I figured it out. You have to space the liquid eyeliner bottom lash strokes quite far apart for it to show up from a distance...and because my eyes are deep set I have to make the strokes quite long.

Wow great job on the makeup! That's a pretty dead on knock-off of the authentic 60's girls. Now I need to the courage and steady hand to try what you've done:)

Thanks Jess and Rosalina

I think it would have looked better if I had had false eyelashes...but I just have a feeling I would mess that up big time haha
