9. The Retro 1960s Space Cadet

9


Travel back to the future with a playful, retro-futuristic makeup look inspired by 1960s sci-fi television. This look relies on pastel color palettes, sharp geometry, and mod beauty trends. Start with a smooth, semi-matte base and pale, pastel-toned cheeks. The eyes are the star of the show, featuring a classic 60s cut crease using baby blue, lavender, or mint green eyeshadow, defined by a sharp, dark crease line.

Draw an exaggerated, thick black winged eyeliner, and paint small “Twiggy” style lower lashes directly onto your skin using a fine liner. To add the space-age element, use silver metallic face paint to draw a futuristic graphic visor or sleek silver stars around your eyes. A pale, frosted pink or nude lipstick with a high-shine finish perfectly captures the optimistic, retro-futuristic vibe of the era.
