The '60s MakeUp Trend Is Huge So Here's The Inspo You Need

We may not have been alive in the sixties, but it looks like a hell of a decade. It gave us The Beatles. The mini-skirt. Flower power. It fired people up to fight for freedom and the civil rights movement. And, it gave us the OG yellow smiley face emoji – before emojis even existed.

We know that trends are cyclical but, this season? The sixties is dominating. And beauty-wise, the retro references are ripe for the picking. Because really, '60s makeup was iconic.

In the next month in particular, prepare to be served up some delicious sixties inspo. One of the decades biggest celeb fans, Ariana Grande, revealed that her upcoming beauty brand R.E.M Beauty was part-inspired by the era. “I’ve always sort of gravitated towards the ‘50s and ‘60s and ‘70s for glamour references,” Grande told Allure. “I’ve always pictured myself in a different time period. I’ve always wanted to wear that makeup, wear that hair, wear those outfits, be those performers,” she explained.

In fact her classic '60s makeup look of winged Bardot liner is as synonymous with the singer as those beautiful vocal cords, and her Positions Album cover pushed the singer firmly into sixties territory with Jean Shrimpton flicked hair, voluminous roots and graphic sixties negative space liner.

While we've not seen the products for R.E.M Beauty (out imminently) yet, the artwork released from the brand so far shows a clear direction. Frosted lavender hues and powder pinks are giving us sixties vibes.
