Makeup & hair
The hair and makeup are the most critical parts of this look. Create a dramatic 1960s cut-crease eye using matte cool-toned eyeshadows, heavy black liquid eyeliner with a thick wing, and dramatic false eyelashes on both top and bottom lashes. Keep the lips pale pink or nude, and wear a towering jet-black bouffant wig with a thick, straight fringe.

Tips
- Bobby pin the wig securely to your natural hair, as the height of the bouffant can make it top-heavy.
- If using your natural hair, use a foam 'bump-it' insert and a firm-hold hairspray to maintain the height all night.
- Keep a small comb and extra hairspray in your bag for quick touch-ups to the wig or bangs.
- Practice the dramatic winged eyeliner ahead of time, using liquid liner for the sharpest retro look.
