THEN: Beehives
Next time you go out with friends, channel your inner girl group with big, beautiful beehives like The Ronettes.
NOW: Beehives
If you're headed to a black-tie event, throw on a pair of elegant earrings and a smokey eye to go with your sky-high 'do.
THEN: Winged Eyeliner
If you could pick just one product that defined '60s beauty, it would be eyeliner. In particular, winged eyeliner that extended a half-inch or so past the eyes, giving eyes a sexy, dreamy shape.
NOW: Winged Eyeliner
Winged liner now comes in all styles, shades, and shapes, but this beauty look will always be classic.
THEN: Cat Eye Frames
Glasses can be stylish, but no other frame shape ever looked as cool as the cat eye.
NOW: Cat Eye Frames
These aren't your mother's cat eye glasses! Take your eyewear game to the next level by going bright or duo-toned.
THEN: Cut Crease Eyeshadow
The name for this eye makeup style might be unfamiliar, but you've surely seen it a lot. In the 1960s, the most famous wearer was actress Diahann Carroll, who kept her eyes smokey and the rest of her style subtle.
NOW: Cut Crease Eyeshadow
Always mixing the modern with the vintage, Jennifer Lopez combines this sexy look with shimmery shades that make her brown eyes sparkle.
THEN: Pixie Cuts
With stars like Mia Farrow and Twiggy cropping their locks, it's no wonder so many women went short in the '60s.
NOW: Pixie Cuts
Very little has changed with this cut — because it doesn't have to! It's simple, sweet, and eternally chic.
THEN: Cowboy Hats
Nothing makes you feel quite as cool as a cowboy hat. And with the Spaghetti Western craze of the mid-1960s, it makes sense that everybody suddenly wanted to look like John Wayne.
NOW: Cowboy Hats
A little less dusty, a little more dapper: The new cowboy hat can be perfectly paired with a dress or a T-shirt and jeans.
THEN: Long False Eyelashes
Sixties supermodel Twiggy was known for her gaze. And the look wouldn't have been complete without her trademark long, false lashes.
NOW: Long False Eyelashes
Don't like liner or mascara? Try these as an easy substitute. Fake lashes define your eyes in one easy step — no clumps, no smudges.
THEN: Headband Updos
Adding some flair to your hair was practically a requisite of '60s babes.
NOW: Headband Updos
Headbands aren't just for workouts! Pop a thin headband around your updo for a cute, quick accessory.
THEN: Red Lipstick
There's nothing that says "classic beauty" quite like red lipstick.
NOW: Red Lipstick
If you want to make a splash, go for a true-blue red like Charlize's. Curl your lashes and add mascara to keep your eyes looking awake and defined.
THEN: Gelled Hair
Don't you miss the days when every guy knew how to properly comb his hair? The oh-so-handsome Paul Newman was just one of the stars who styled with wax.
NOW: Gelled Hair
After decades of hair metal and bad bowl cuts, men's hair has finally gone back to this neat, chic style.
