Makeup in 1960's

1960's were known as the starting of everything related to makeup and the time where people first started creating their own makeup brands. For the first time, unknown models began to rival the big Hollywood names in becoming the ‘face’ of makeup brands.For example Audrey Hepburn. You don't know her, you must have been live under a rock.Right?She is of the most famous models in late 1950's and 60s.
You may not believe this but actually Maybelline was a makeup brand in 1950's too. They were a lot cheaper back then, like this mascara you see was only 10 cents!Yes, it is a mascara...In 1960's makeup was nothing like what we do right now. Foundation wasn't really a thing back then and the makeup they did was only a bold red lipstick and a thin eyeliner with a bunch of powder on their face.

One of the most known powder brand was Cotytan, we actually still can buy these from drugstores and it looks nothing like the ones back then.In 1960's most of the packaging of the makeup was made out of metals or carton or glass but never been made out of plastic.Nowadays, most of the makeup brands use plastic on their packaging that contains many non-healthy things in them..


Just like I said before, foundation wasn't really famous back then untill Revlon released its first foundation ever...Yes, Revlon.It is still available in drugstores right now.It was only 1-5 dollars back then but right know some of the makeup lines sell a 50 dollar foundation with bunch of chemicals in them,in 1960's it was all natural and not harmful.
Lets talk about lipstick.Red bold lipstick with high pigmentation was everyone's favorite thing and everybody 7 to 70 wore lipstick.Everything was so cheap.What do you think about old vintage makeup?
