The popular styles in the 1940s and 50s were quite similar, the only main difference being the eyebrows. In the 40's makeup was seen as a luxury item, also being a decade where the 'healthy' look was quite popular. There was main focus on the lips (full and red) and with a little eye makeup to complete the look. Veronica Lake is a good example for this look.

Then in the 1950's the eyebrows were more extended and there was thicker (liquid liner) on the top lid and a little under the bottom lashes. The inner corner of the eyebrows where also very angular (square shaped).The lips were pretty much the same.

For the 1960's we were taught two looks, the Mod look and the Rocker look. The Mods eye makeup was based on black and white, using these colors to open up the eye (make them look bigger). The Rockers had more color associated with their makeup.
Lets start with the Mods :)

Blush wasn't really used, the eyes were more important. The lips were usually applied pale and the eyebrows were natural. Putting on false eyelashes and drawing on eyelashes was popular too which I lurvvve :)

The Rockers signature was the heavy top liner with a flick.
