Twiggy Eyed

We loved Twiggy in the 60s and we still love her now. I never had any make-up influence from my mom, as she always believed in natural beauty. She never really applied make-up and said that nature is beauty. Perhaps it is because of this view, it influenced me to love Twiggy. We cannot say that Twiggy's make- up is "natural", but it does enhance the natural features of human's eyes without invloving too much colours.

To me, Twiggy's make up is enhancing: lashes and deep- set eyes, all of which are the natural beauties of women's eyes. Describing how she obtained her prominent eyelashes, Twiggy said, "Back then I was layering three pairs of false eyelashes over my own and would paint extra ‘twigs’ on my skin underneath."

My version is just an adaptation, something I feel that is a little more wearable. I had attached false lower lashes instead of painting them on. This looks a little more natural. A little above the grooves of the socket, I had drawn a dark brown line and blended it in a little to my brown shadow. This is a little softer than Twiggy's version and gives my Asian eyes a little bit more graduated depth. I have also stacked on two pairs of falsies instead of three. The rest of the make up is kept minimal with soft pink cheeks and lips.

I personally love large eyes with long lashes. Which is the favourite part of your face that you like to enhance?
