frosted white lips which i loved, to match the frosted white nails. We bought both at a store called American Discount on the main street. Under a dollar for each item. 


@smoochy    Ohh I loved the frosted lipstick. I forget what year, but it was 1960's sometime. I won a tube of alley oop lipstick from a local radio station. Frosted white, the best one ever!!!!    Oh, I was stylin. I used that lipstick to the nubs...had to scoop out with a q tip. lol

I used to love Twiggy and thought that she was just so cool when I was in the sixth & seventh grades!  I used to wish I had legs like hers instead of the knock keed tree stumps that I have.

 

Yes, I also tried to do my eyes like hers but mom wouldn't let me leave the house like that! LOL! 

 

Today, Lesley Hornby still looks great.

@smoochy  My favorite color lipstick was Peppermint Twist.  Wore that color for years while actually dancing the Peppermint Twist!

The worst decade for makeup. Blue eyeshadow and pale lips came from the '60s.

I loved the 1960's MOD look, the clothes, the go-go boots, frosted lipstick and eye shadow. And then living in England in the 70's was even more fun, still pretty crazy

I think shoulder pads were a thing of the 1940s! Joan Crawford comes to mind. I'd wear them today if they'd just come back.

At point in the early 60s I did a chalkwhite opaque white lipstick, with a light frosted lipstick over it and topped it off with a stick of clear gloss.  The crowds at the mirror in the girl's bathroom at high school were a real thing.
