I’ve been exploring the beauty trends for spring and while fresh-faced complexions remain to a popular look, I’m drawn toward the ’60s inspired makeup trends of the double liner look.? Here’s a modern twist on a retro beauty look that you might like to try.

I started by applying a thin layer of MAC Pro Longwear Paint Pot in Soft Ochre on my entire eyelid to prime the eye and create a long-lasting base. I then used a Smashbox Always Sharp Longwearing Waterproof Kohl Eyeliner Pencil in Penny Lane to draw a winged liner on the upper lid. I opted for brown liner rather than black for a softer esthetic.

Next, I rimmed my lower lash line with a warm brown eye shadow and then lined the waterline with a Essence Stay and Play Gel Eyeliner in Silky Nude. To really play up the ’60s vibes, you’ll want to apply a white or nude liner in the waterline as a gap between the upper and lower liner. This not only offers a playful detail to the makeup look, it’s a great way to enlarge and define the shape of the eye.

To keep things modern and relevant, I opted for a sun-kissed complexion using Rimmel London Natural Bronzer. On my cheeks and temple area, I went with a cool-pink blush by MAC called Pink Swoon.

With the focus being on the eyes I wanted to keep the lip neutral so I chose a pale pink lip by Jason Wu called Honey Fluff Lip Cream in Pink Nude to pull the look together.
