Women of the 1950s still loved a neutral eye, although there were a few differences. Brow arches were very defined; the wingtip became essential, and the line became a bit thicker; and shine fell out of favor as matte lids became the new desired look. The application technique changed, also. Three primary shades were used. Beneath the brow, a highlight (lighter than the skin) was used to emphasize the brow arch. Beneath that, all the way down to the lashline, went a shadow that was as close to the skin tone as possible. Then, in the crease (or slightly above), a darker color was used to create dimension and depth.

Tomorrow: '60s! I am so excited for some color!
I love wingtip liner, but I can never get mine to look right! Maybe I'm just too clumsy to manage!
