From Twiggy to Diana Ross: These Are the Most Iconic '60s Makeup Looks

Fashion and beauty are cyclical. A trend arises, maintains its popularity for some time, and then fades back into obscurity, only to resurface after a few years (or decades) have passed. Most recently, we've

laid witness to a re-emergence of '90s and early-2000s trends. Halter tops, glossy lips, and grungy kohl-rimmed eyes are all back and bigger than ever (and we love them).

Lately, though, we've been inspired by another decade—one that was just as influential and iconic as the '90s yet exists a little further back in our collective consciousness. We're talking about the '60s. It was the decade of shift dresses, psychedelic prints, and cut creases, and it's all coming back. So, indulge us if you will, and take a walk down memory lane, revisiting the most emblematic makeup looks of the decade. From Twiggy to Cher to Diana Ross, these 11 looks will inspire you to take a free-spirited approach to makeup, or, at the very least, invest in a new liquid eyeliner (because what were the '60s without eyeliner?).
