Historically Accurate: 1960s Makeup Tutorial (Brigitte Bardot Style)

Travel back in time with me to the 1960s and I'll show you a historically accurate makeup tutorial based on Brigitte Bardot's look! :)

• The History of Makeup:...
I almost did the Twiggy look, but wanted to be different from so many other tutorials out here on KZbin and chose Brigitte Bardot as my inspiration instead. I may do Twiggy's look in the future just for fun. :)
A LOT of work goes into these videos, so it is my sincere hope you enjoy them, as I thoroughly enjoy putting them together for you. :)

Being a single father of a daughter, I appreciate these videos. The history that comes with the tutorials make it not so bad learning how to avoid making my daughter look like a clown. An easy "how to" guide video for fathers would be awesome.

[@Zabrena]

Aw, admire you, Jonathan! I was raised solely by my Dad and he didn't know a thing about raising a little girl. He sent me to makeup classes back in the day, (no KZbin back then, unfortunately) but how awesome that you are doing this for her! Way to go!! :)

[@jonathanbarron6027]

Their isn't much I won't do to make her smile, even something I have no clue about and feel odd doing it. I did't grow up with sisters or a mother around, so I am lost most of the time. I am thankful for the internet and folks like yourself that use the KISS method. She learned to bait her own hook, so I can learn how to apply lip gloss. Seems fair, I guess.

[@gabye.]

+Jonathan Barron wow! i wish i had a father like you growing up. My sincere admiration for you and i wish your daughter knows what a great father she has.

[@kyannwashburn4058]

You are a cool dad!

[@daniellemartinez8810]

Jonathan Barron how sweet. Learn on KZbin. Women who know what to do with younger girls makeup.

[@meredithkovner2267]

I absolutely love this tutorial! In fact, my husband saw me watching it and he went out and bought me everything that you used and gave it to me for Christmas! Now I can recreate this amazing look! Keep doing what your doing!!

[@__-qo4ci]

Awww, how sweet! ^_^

[@HellooooBeautiful]

00's tutorial? I'd love to look back and see what was popular during my early days of makeup. And I'm sure teenagers and early 20's would appreciate seeing makeup before their time :)

[@lauraann9951]

yes!

[@fuzibooji]

Omg this!

[@Balendula]

The "cat" eyeliner or heavily winged eyeliner was another defining feature of the 60s as liquid eyeliner became popular. It was influenced by Indian and East Asian heavy kohl eyeliner looks. If you look at Bollywood films from the 60s you can see how popular winged eyeliner was.

[@onyxfaith]

I'm really enjoying going back over this series. I like that you chose Bardot for this period. Her smoky eye makeup is still my favorite to this day.

[@coffandhack]

I love, love love your historically accurate makeup tutorials. I am absolutely dying for a 1950's, Please keep up the lovely, and quite smart tutorials!

[@mary.b.93]

This channel is so amazing. You are just the cutest ever, too. Edie Sedgwick, Twiggy, and Bridgette Bardot have always been so beautiful to me and I've always wanted to be daring enough to recreate those looks. This is fantastic. Thanks. x

[@so_she_said]

The most beautiful makeup era by far.

[@SMG340]

Thanks for telling us the time to get to the tutorial! But who wouldn't want to listen to the history of the 1960's makeup?

[@Zabrena]

Haha! Oh you know, there's always one! ;) I appreciate you saying that! :)

[@makeupboss9812]

It’s quite fascinating and interesting. My mom and dad were graduating in the 60’s . My dad in ‘64 and my mom in ‘68. This is probably what my mom did, just guessing! Her senior picture was in black and white, but she did the straight, slightly wavy hair with a flip at the end.

[@graceelizabeth8413]

I love how u don't just look up images on ur makeup look you dive deep into it finding out the tricks and making it better!

[@binderkim]

This has to be my favorite hair and makeup look you've done in your time period tutorials.

[@Jmp-cz1eu]

I watch makeup tutorials almost constantly and her series is by far my favorite. Doesn't take itself too seriously, a lot of fun, incredibly detailed and works with a wide variety of brands. What more can I ask for? Great work!

[@angelacorrea9606]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! This has pretty much become my everyday look because I love the way the eyeliner brings out my eyes and its really fast and easy. And when I'm feeling adventurous I use a shimmery emerald eyeliner for a pop of color. Wonderful job!

[@Zabrena]

Ouuu! Gorgeous! I love the idea of doing it in emerald! Wowza!! I'm busy working on the 1930s for November, so I will have a whole new one very soon .. hopefully! :D xoxo!

[@angelacorrea9606]

***** I can't wait to see it! I love the fact that you really research these videos. I was particularly impressed with the Ancient Egyptian video and the research you did for that one, as an historian and anthropologist/archaeologist I LOVE IT when people take the time to really get their information correct.

[@StaceyBooksandCrafts]

I have watched nearly every decade tutorial you have now, and I just have to say, you always look so gorgeous! This one and the Farrah Fawcett ones are my favorites though because they're the most natural looks. I just had to tell you you are stunning.

[@kristenleopard5267]

I LOVE that you do so much research on these looks and not only show us the tutorial, but also share what you've learned. You're wonderful! Thank you!

[@Zabrena]

Haha! You're too cute! I guess Twiggy is what everyone associates with the '60s, but I felt like the dramatic winged liner needed a spotlight. You just don't see enough of them! :(

[@lailakaasik5390]

finally a makeup channel worth watching!

[@wanderbyy]

The history lesson is why I watch these. The 20's look was the first reason I watched your channel the other day, I was very curious to know the difference between what make up products were like/packaged back then. Now I've started watching other videos, including a Naked Palette look that I tried out and got a big compliment on at work. =)

[@itsmeAshley84]

Do the 2000's!!! Britney, Christina, all the pop artists of that era:)

[@christinamarshall681]

I love all of the history that you provide, and the ad clippings. And it's really cool to see my mom's era of how they wore their make-up. My mom really rocked this look in the old pics I see, she was stunning! You look great too, Zabrena :-)

[@illreyes]

I would love to see a 70s look! Very gorgeous!

[@aTimeAsThis]

What a look! And no detectable eyeshadow! I do love the 60's.

[@KendallM0219]

You should do a 2000-2010 makeup, I would love to see the comparison to the other eras.

[@JinxDagger]

I absolutely love how much research you put into these videos. I really like seeing people do historically accurate makeup instead of modern takes on it. Love those lashes as well, perfect shape for a 60s eye.

[@cindywilliams8733]

i luv brigitte bardot makeup looks and never get tired of them. i like the dark eyes and toned down face so classic. i am going to try those mac lipstick combos it look so nice on you and i'm pretty fair skin myself so hopefully it looks as good on me as it did you.

[@bknross]

Thank you for all the time and research that you put into these videos! Such a treat for all of us interested in fashion history!

[@queenfrumpy6120]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have been very curious about makeup from the 20's to the 80's. Could you please continue the makeup tutorials to include some more of these years. Thank you so much. I really enjoy your tutorials.

[@rebeccatolmerdestefano5670]

I LOVE these videos and so appreciate all the time you put into them. I watch them over and over!!

[@smkelleher22]

Great Job! You can tell that you put so much work into these tutorials.

[@Official_Meshay]

Literally just now finding your channel and I am so addicted. I love the history that you're finding. It really brings the look to life by painting the picture of the time frame. Also, your skills are amazing!

[@Ferrishyn1]

Wow I am so impressed with your historical tutorials!!!! You look gorgeous!

[@christinamarshall681]

I know that I'm looking at a lot of your older videos. But it's fun traveling thru time!

[@scruzchic8810]

I was a kid, but remember Twiggy's amazing look on t.v. Great job!!

[@SusanLS08]

I’ve been watching all your videos and what fun it’s been! It helps to be beautiful as yourself to showcase the eras. 😍

[@DRmakeupgirl]

I love the history lessons with these era tutorials! You sport a winged liner well my dear! I look forward to the next era video.

[@Thrillpops]

Your natural lip color is so beautiful! Jealous :)

[@ellieellej]

I absolutely love your videos! I love history and makeup, so this series is right up my alley! Thank you!

[@TransformedKinz]

This look looks absolutely stunning on you! I love your Historically Accurate series, it's really fun to watch and *learn* about different decades from the 20th century, and how much things changed from decade to decade; it's fascinating! ^w^

[@macCALICOmac]

Love the history, the adverts and images especially. Thank you!

[@saskiacornish7126]

Thank you for doing such a beautiful, wearable 1960s makeup look! I finally managed to do winged liner correctly today and I'm so happy about it XD

[@TheBlackpanther99]

Gorgeous!! Another favorite one! This more what I wear as a makeup choice when I have Fancy events that requires that classic and classy look, even though I love red bold lipsticks and burgundy colors too, I feel more comfortable and myself when I wear this kind of makeup look... and that’s the beauty of makeup, that just like clothes you can change and select different styles for different occasions... have to mention that you look stunning with both looks! 50’s and 60’s!!! Like STUNNING 😍

[@mandypandy111ify]

Would you mind doing a Twiggy tutorial next in your Historically Accurate series? I'd love to see that!!

[@carrinntaylor2002]

OMG! I was very skinny and cut my hair very short like Twiggy and wore makeup in bright blues with thick eyeliner in a wing and sometimes a double wing. I wore so much mascara on both upper and lower lashes. There were false eyelashes everywhere, including on the bottom. The lipstick was very pale so the eyes popped.

[@Zabrena]

YAY!! I bet you ROCKED that '20s look! :D I too was born WAY too late, so I hear ya!! :) Big hugs back!!

[@aliciapedana1704]

I love how you give lots of info & explanation :)

[@emcarveth]

I've been binge-watching your history of makeup tutorials all day....absolutely wonderful! I truly appreciate the historical tidbits you provide along with the tutorials...and p.s. your Lucille Ball look is especially stunning on you. Really glad I subscribed!

[@magpie1206]

Binge watching on your videos! Love these historical videos.. so much fun!!

[@ShesInLosAngeles]

Very well done! I was there in the 60s and cake eyeliner was thee thing. It was easy to carry in our purses or pockets for easy touch ups. It was all about the eyes. And let's not forget that Cher was a huge influence at that time too. Can't believe it was all those many years ago. :)

[@narteeny]

This is such a unique idea for a video and you do it so well. I appreciate the mini history lessons, too.

[@whysper30]

I love love love this style of videos!!!!!. The history on the make up products, how they were used and worn is so exciting to learn about. Keep it up please! I am extremely interested in each era of make up!

[@MegaHarpLover]

This look is my favorite that you have done. It looks totally fabulous on you!!

[@Girlofpages]

This is really awesome. I love the historical information! And the look is gorgeous!

[@sadydavis7276]

you sound like my history teacher but i actually like you

[@kimarmstrong7264]

I love your historically accurate videos! Please keep doing them.

[@PresleyGlamour35]

I'd love to see a Priscilla Presley make up tutorial. She is my biggest 60s icon. I have seen every single tutorial for her makeup on KZbin and even google, I've even made one myself, and I'm always looking for ways to improve. Your tutorials are always on point so I'd love to see one!

[@zacherychandler8247]

oh, I agree!

[@lauraann9951]

that would be the greatest thing ever!!

[@Badfingerbabe777]

Love Brigitte, this is fun love the 60's all the best music etc.. I love Sharon Tate also for the 60s also.

[@feliscatus1834]

My favorite decade to replicate!! Excellent tutorial ... I loved recreating this look too.

[@Sheila6325]

In the mid 1960's you used foundation on your lips. No lipstick. Foundation also had oil in it back then, so it went on very smooth. The shadow was mostly dark, or sparkly green. This is one time I can assure you, that the 1960's actually had three styles in those 10 years, Early was Jackie Kennedy, Mid was even higher teased hair and the above info., and late was actually between collegiate, and a bit of Jackie Kennedy again, and the face colors were browns, and everyone had long straight hair. Most think the hippy started in the mid to late 60's, it didn't in the east, until mid December 1969. It really depended on where you lived. Then again, any 60's teen that graduated in the east by 1967 would choke you to death if you called them a Hippy!!! Remember, there was no communication back then, so it took a year for a "fad' to hit from East to West, or the other way around. Just some information from an old lady, that did indeed, go "Dancing in the Street" in Washington DC! What a blast! I still smile when I hear that song.

[@bastardbeaverbollox7889]

@ Shiela6525. True, Most was called panstick in the uk anyway, It was as you claim also worn on the lips, Mascara was also a small square box that was wet or spit on to moisten it so it could be used, High back combed hair styled usually shoulder length with a flick at the shoulder, Happy Days. Hippies was far more towards the end of the 1960s & early 1970s, It wasn't a big movement either like it is spoken about in movies, Very few people went that root, They had far more sense, Drugs was also around at that time but most again had more sense ,Been down hill ever since then with the drugs, Not many could say they refused drugs today, Very sad indeed!

[@janicecrosby1986]

I was just thinking about my older sister's cake mascara!

[@donnaaveni]

Very nice video! Accurate. I was a model in SF in the 60's and we did wear two sets of eyelashes! And, yes, bottom lashes too!

[@womanofheart]

What a fantastic look, Z! I love it!

[@bentleyh305]

Love the mini history lesson, so different. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! :)

[@callaieyanu7209]

This is a stunning look! Love it! But yes I'd love to see Twiggy too :)

[@Zabrena]

Liz Woodby Hi! You're welcome! ;) I have done tutorials like this already for the 20s and 40s you're welcome to check out! 80s is next! Happy to hear you enjoy them! xoxo!

[@monkeycheeks101]

i love your tutorial but id wish you would use more affordable products!

[@Zabrena]

That's what the 'Frugal Fridays' series is for :)

[@monkeycheeks101]

just discovered it! amazing!

[@Zabrena]

Love you bunches too, sister! Liz was SO freakin' gorgeous!

[@Tina_Pedirn96]

Luv the history lesson. That's awesome that you give the theory behind the looks!!

[@GAM3RSHARK]

Can you post the drugstore equivalent for the entire look ? Also, would it be possible for you to post tutorials for the vintage hair styles? I absolutely love all your tutorials and look forward to watching them for reproducing all these great looks. Keep up the good work !! Your great tutorials lift me up in spirit !!!

[@rebeccalane3039]

Maybe that was 60s makeup for the US, in Britain we followed twiggy with hard socket lines and eyelashes drawn on under the eyes. Also our lipstick was pale and mat. Miners makeup " the Palest" was the mods favourite shade. Dont know what rockers wore ...axle grease probably !

[@CutestHeidi]

I gotta say that I love following you. Not many good beauty gurus have blue eyes and lighter skin/hair. I have a hard time imagining how a look will be on me when I see a brown eyed darker skin toned person doing a look. So thanks for everything!

[@816jellybean]

Love your videos Zabrina. Love the history part. You are such a smart lady. Beauty and brains you are such an inspiration .

[@karlakfox8554]

What an absolutely beautiful look on you!!!!!!!!! 😍😻

[@NYandAZ]

This look is so pretty on you. I know that your main focus is eyeshadows, but would you be willing to show us how you did your hair in this video? It's fantastic. I'd love to try it!

[@qip.5304]

Thank you so much for the video! Such informative video and the look is beautiful as always ;)

[@DanteVelasquez]

I love these videos and the history part. You have great application control :-)

[@goynplaycs]

You-Go-GIRL!!! I have been enjoying ALL your period looks, once again as I review some videos for my three daughters who are finally taking an interest in makeup. They are between 18 and 21. I am just about to introduce them to your channel and website. Take Care...Teri

[@kjdavis27]

Thank you for this! I am in charge of makeup for my daughter's production of Hairspray Jr. This is perfect!

[@Zabrena]

Thank you, Deb! Me too! Can't wait for the next one! :D

[@beverleymcdermot2045]

Absolutely stunning,loved this look.

[@Knk4891]

Awesome! I love history AND make-up, so this is the perfect combination. :)

[@Zabrena]

Definitely! Enjoy!! :D

[@fidorefined]

I love this one. I would love for you to do a tutorial on how to do the hairstyle you have I this one. I haven't been able to find a good one.

[@monicarivram]

Me too! She was/is just STUNNING!!

[@nicolamcgarry4840]

I love these videos, they are so interesting and you look stunning x

[@iideadinsideii5347]

I'm thinking of doing this look since my school is doing Hairspray. I will put my own twist on it since it will be like stage makeup, but this was a very helpful and inspiring tutorial!

[@sherrytremblay2539]

Your my favourite make up enthusiast , your so pretty and classy and I love how you explain everything

[@rainbow88sun]

I feel sad that I've just found your channel... I'm so happy I found you though! I really love that you included some history in this tutorial as well. Informative and beautiful! New subscriber for sure! :D

[@spinoza888]

I love this 60s hair style. It would be great to see a tutorial on the hair style.

[@TeenCocoa]

[@yenee94]

yeeeeees

[@makeupboss9812]

Nooo !! 00’s are just as bad as the 80’s , don’t do it !! Please don’t do it .

[@Aminalz312]
