We can’t think 60s beauty without recalling that iconic shot of a young Twiggy staring doe-eyed into the camera with contoured cheekbones and false lashes to die for. Now, the mod trend is back—thanks in large part to unstoppable Adele and H&M’s recent campaign featuring Lana Del Rey. We love Lana’s interpretation, which takes the basics—dramatic eyes, sculpted cheeks, and matte nude lips—and improves on them with the help of perfected formulations and sophisticated applications. Here’s how to get the look at home.
Eyes
Rimmel’s Exaggerate Eyeliner has a precise tip that makes it easy to get a thick wing, while Clinique’s High Impact Mascara adds extra volume. Buff in a matte eye shadow that’s a shade or two darker than your own to add contour to your socket line.
Lips
Revlon’s Matte Lipstick in Smoked Peach leaves a suede-like finish on the lips.
Cheeks
Use a matte bronzer without any shimmer. Blend in Bobbi Brown’s Bronzing Powder with a finely tapered brush, like the Real Techniques Contour Brush, around the natural hollows of the face—underneath your cheekbones, across your temple, and along the jawbone—to accentuate (or create) those angles.
Hair
Spray KMS California ADD VOLUME Volumizing Spray into damp hair and blow-dry upside down. When almost dry, add hairspray to the roots and backcomb in sections to build texture.
Voila!
