Beauty Through the Decades: 60's

The "Swinging Sixties" was a great step forward to women's freedom. The athmosphere and sounds of Rock'n'Roll conquered hearts of people from almost all over the world. Dresses and skirts became shorter, costumes - more clinging, hairstyle - voluminous,  everything around - more colourful. Freedom of Love, Psychedelic experiences, drugs, music, Woodstock, The Beatles, Elvis, The Rollins Stones..& Andy Warhol made this era so catchy and unlike others.
In the 1960s women were once again moving out of the domestic sphere and into the workplace, pursuing careers as well as an education. As a result, in the early to mid-1960s women reacted against the time-consuming, complex hairstyles of the '50s and opted for more practical short styles (often variations of the 1920s bob), or long, straight hair. There was only one makeup look throughout the 1960s: dark eyes paired with pale lips (or, by the late '60s, no makeup at all).
